It's not football. It's how finance works. If you are swapping cash for an asset you haven't lost anything. The loss occurs with the depreciation of the asset you bought. Which in football is often a player and is called amortisation.

Whos top of the FTSE 100 index, I'm going to start supporting them.

Yep to my earlier point, its gotta be about the football somewhere along the line too, ignore the financials, why have other clubs not done it? They may as well now shut their academy.....

It carries a risk. The amortisation means they only book 140 million in player purchases this year, but it also means they've already spend 140 million of their budget for the next five years. In effect, they need to take this out of their transfer budget each year before they buy any new players or raise the money through sales or gain more from success on the pitch. They are gambling that the new players will bring this success.

They may end up needing the academy more than ever to generate future sales. The questions is do they have any more 100 million players like Mount. And if they do wouldn't such players improve their team.

As i said earlier. Clearlakes opus operandi is to flip a company in 5 years for profit. They don't care about long term or suustainability. The problem is though that football doesn't really work that way. They are not just assets, they are people. That have emotions and their form can go up and down. A £100m player on a 5 year contact on the books may devalue at £20m a year. But sit him on the bench for a season in reality it might be £50-60m. Plus he gets the hump. Causes unrest in the dressing room. Could mean no cl again. Then all the players lose value. Loss of sponsorship, matchday revenue etc...
 
Chelsea already playing some exciting football under Poch. 1-1 draw with Liverpool was a exciting, attacking football from both sides and to me Chelsea was the better team. Just raw hunger and energy to get to every ball.

Similar to our away performance at Brentford, no? Spurs already playing some exciting football under Ange?

apples to oranges. spurs had a lot of possession that kept chipping away at the great wall of brentford. chelsea was raw youthful energy clawing away at liverpool's defence. worthwhile game to watch in full if you can. poch has a way with young talent for sure.
 
I'm no fan of Liverpool but this is taking the tinkle now. First Caicedo and now Lavia. Seems Chelsea are buying players simply to stop others having them. Cannot stand Chelsea.
