    Here's an Idea:
    considering that the Ballon d'Or was only given to European players until 1995, I think it would be cool for you to do a Ballon d'Or with all players until 1995. yes, France Football made a revised list, but I think it was a pretty lazy list just giving it to Pele a lot and the others in World Cup years. so I think this is a good idea

    Crapyoko should have been on here for costing 40 million and having the sole purpose of being utterly useless. His various loan moves failed and we'd be lucky to sell him for 10-15 million.

      Could definitely make a case for him, but Chelsea have already recouped over £10 million in loan fees for him and supposedly still want £20 million for him, that's why he just missed out. If he ended up leaving for nothing, he'd probably make my seven.

      He'll never displace Mendy who cost 50 million less than him as the top choice goalkeeper. If he wants to resurrect his career then he needs to move away from Chelsea. Problem is, he'd have to take a massive paycut. Till then we'll have to live with the fact that the most expensive goalkeeper in the world is an overpaid second choice. Even if we sell him we won't even make back half of what we paid for him.

      If he cost 20-30 million, then I'd agree that it'd be too early to write him off.
      But he cost 71 million pounds. Not just a world record for a goalkeeper, but a world record by miles.
      Unless he becomes not just one of, but *the* best goalkeeper in the world, he'll never be worth anything near that.
      And right now he's not only not world class, he's not even first choice. It's kind of hard to justify that kind of outlay on someone who primarily warms the bench, no?

And a club of that size would never pay 35 million for an error prone second choice.

    Little story for you all. My old high school chemistry teacher was actually Steve Sidwell’s godfather, and was in the room when he made his decision to move to Chelsea. Basically, he knew he was never going to play but he knew he was going to make more money in the one season he was planning on being there than he would for the rest of his career. So he made the decision to join them because he wanted his mum and dad to never have to worry financially again. Plus it was something like a 150% pay increase from what he was getting at Reading, which you’d be bonkers to turn down.

    I think Kepa being on here is quite harsh for him. The circumstances surrounding his arrival are extremely against Chelsea - Courtois suddenly wanted to move to Real Madrid, a weird transfer deadline day that summer (10 August instead of 31 August - Kepa arrived only 2 days before that), and other Chelsea goalkeepers (a 36-year-old Caballero, a 38-year-old Robert Green, and an academy goalkeeper). Because of Courtois's departure, with very few available options on the market, they have to pay Bilbao's astronomical release clause to buy him. And now, despite his form under Tuchel, but with Mendy in goal, he will never be able to justify his price tag and wage.

As an example, Juve were fined €75,000 for the match fixing that got them relegated and stripped of titles. Which Mutu was also there for, by coincidence

Yeah Kepa has had a few good games recently. That doesn't take away from the fact he cost more than the likes of Alisson, was poor when he played, got displaced from the team after two seasons and will have around 50% sell-on value. He's a poor signing.

Your goal shouldn't be to buy players, your goal should be to buy wins. And in order to buy wins you need to buy goals. You're trying to replace Shaun Wright-Phillips. Chelsea football club sees Shaun Wright-Phillips and they see a star. When I see Shaun Wright-Phillips I see an imperfect understanding of where goals come from.

But since he has taken over from Mendy, due to that AFCON, I would say Kepa has saved Chelsea a few times and has not made any mistakes and been outstanding, when he has been given the chance to play. If you want to talk bad Goalkeeper signings and I know he is not an Abramovich signing, but who remembers the nightmare of Mark Bosnich and David Beasant.
