Isn't that the issue? he didn't try .. him and fudging Mbappe hiding out in the French league ..

PSG's project looked good at first: plenty of money and they looked like they really wanted to win the Champions League. Of course, there was always a risk that 2022 would be the sell-by date. I'll give you that the French league is meaningless now but so are most of the others. He had to do something special and winning the Champions League repeatedly with an upstart club and/or winning the World Cup could have been something special.
Unfortunately, apart from his first season in France, where he got something close to a goal a game, his stats are nothing special. They're good, but nothing close to a guy who was considered a once-in-a-generation talent. It takes a special mentality to keep on going when you've got everything you want in life. He obviously doesn't have it.

Their issue has been that there is no real reason to continue to plough endless cash into a one team League that doesn't appeal commercially. I suspect the owners are now getting bored and it's only ego that's blocking the Mbappe stuff.

That was 2014. But in 2015 the courts threw it out and said it was unacceptable: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/33465304.
I'm not sure what the current situation is, but they don't have the unlevel playing field they did that year or two when they went nuts and bought Falcao and James Rodriguez etc.
He's basically given up, spends most of his time partying or in the treatment room, think player power at PSG is ridiculous. Doubt it was tolerated at Barca, too many dedicated players there. That's what happens when you splash the cash. Similar to City back in the day when they went through the early era with Clichy, Nasri, Adebayor, Robinho etc.
They are rebuilding and targetting French players, will probably pay off but French league is so weak they're barely tested so flop under pressure in the CL.

We need 2 left and 2 right
Currently we have a first choice 2
We need to know who the back up is
If it’s Sanchez right then cool
Still need the left
Ideally a player who can push both sides to be first choice would be great

Even accepting Sanchez is the most suitable for what if it is only one incoming I hope we do get someone who can play both, as I fear Romero will miss more games than vDv.
I can't see Davies being an option for this high line as backup lcb either.

So now Lavia wants to go to Chelsea not Liverpool....another £60m. And Chelsea are also looking at Michael Olise from Palace.
As much I find it funny that this keeps happening to Liverpool, what am I missing here, wtf is going on with Chelsea spending all this money, is FFP not a thing amymore?

They sell players to offset the spend
The spend spread over 5 years
The sales income is instant

So in effect they are buying up a load of players that they can sell in the future to offset against FFP, Cheatski do love a loop hole
I'm just sat here watching in some disbelief as three numptys are defending and even praising Chelsea's business in the last year or so on SSN.
I understand their 'transfer model' and that's it's legal but when is someone in the media going to call them out for once again making a mockery of football?

Some football finance guy just said they are failing FFP on purpose, same as PSG and Inter have done before. He reckons in the past you'd just get a fine of x million so it's pointless but going forward there is a real possibility of a point deduction from the PL so they are just taking that chance really.
Chelsea are not in europe so not subject to uefas rules at the moment. Pl rules are more lenient in the fact that you can lose more and have more adjustments for the covid period. Nobody has ever been punished for breaking pl ffp rules. So we don't know what the punishment for that is yet.
I've seen a few people say he's someone we're interested in but no actual detail on bids etc.

Yep that's what he was saying. Other PL teams will be pushing for harsher punishments going forward such a shame points deductions.
He said they will be fine in this accounting period but they would need to sell a LOT of players to make the 2024 accounts
As it stands if they were to qualify for Europe next year they wouldn't meet the UEFA ffp rules. They need to sell.
Yes. But they have players to sell. Hudson odoi, gallagher, broja etc... all from the academy. Could get a nice chunk for them.

Kinda
All depends on the timing
They can’t write them off any longer than 5 years anymore
And they will sell HG players more and more IMO as they have a zero book value
