225m for caicedo and enzo is ridiculous when you realise that caicedo had 1 good year of football in his life and enzo was less than 10m a summer before. Chelsea don't need better players the need a better scouting and recruitment department.

This is a bogus statistic. Let’s have some examples because I can give you some that contradict what you’ve said. Chelsea, Man City continued to spend right up to when they won leagues
Some of them will keep spending so much and never win the league with getting worse result, unitil they sell the club then.😂 Its maybe the case with current Chelsea owner, when he dosent actually know which are good crucial poayers to brings success for the club, when he only buys somewhat good football players that dont really have good chemistry with eachother. Man City stays as the best Premier League team, because they know that De Bruyne and Haaland are very important for the team and they have a lot of other great players with great coach Pep Guardiola, so thats why Man City keeps winning the Premier League.
Yet another banger, easily one of the best sports channels on TH-cam! Chelsea is in serious trouble if they don't win trophies in the next couple seasons, or qualify for CL at least.
As a Chelsea supporter for 26 years, I’m definitely skeptical on this approach, I hope it works but man I can say I’m not terrified of the long term ramifications of this his new strategy
Skeptical of what? Theres nothing new to this. Big club with lots of money buys young players with said money. What do you think all of the "Super League" teams do every year? Buy old, shit players for nothing? Not buy at all?
First time I’ve seen your channel. I really appreciate your no nonsense pithy approach without waffle. Very nicely presented, dry informative, and many thanks for your time and effort 👍
Welcome! Since you liked this video, you should definitely check out the previous video from three days ago called "the insanity of the football transfer market" which my brother said was the best video he's ever seen on the subject! If you take a brief look through this channel, you'll see a lot of other football topics as well. 😎
He’s not that dry. He’s always got some spicy memes floating about. Also likes to hide the fact that he’s a Man U but I guess we all have skeletons in the closet.😊
Concerning the FFP, I have two hypotheses: 1) this one is based more on the payroll, and I'm pretty sure that despite all the transfers, well that of Chelsea hasn't exploded at all (I mean, also look at all the departures) 2) they don't care, but like, completely, telling themselves that at worst they will get a mini fine
Chelsea fan since the 80’s. I’ve seen us get relegated before, and I’ve seen us on the brink of bankruptcy. I stood along the Fulham Road watching our open top bus parade despite losing the 1994 FA Cup Final. I’ve enjoyed 2 incredible decades of success that 10 year old me could have never dreamt of when he was mocked for wearing his Chelsea shirt round London when all his mates supported Man United and Arsenal. I hugged my Dad as we watched us lift the European Cup in 2012. A memory I’ll never forget! But this change of ownership really does feel like a return to mediocrity akin to what United have been through since 2013. You can’t stay at the top forever. This isn’t Scottish Football! That’s how things go! I don’t believe in these new owners. They don’t seem like they have the club at heart like Roman did. They seem money motivated and the club and the fans are just customers! Our 2021/22 squad that dominated Europe has been sold off. 29 players in this summer. 45 out! A BILLION spent, and we haven’t signed a proper striker!! These 8 year deals are a genius move if we succeed. But if we fail, it could be disaster for the club! It’s a decade long gamble! A bunch of Americans with no experience of running a Football risking the existence of a 118 year old institution.
In the summer of 2012, my local NHL team signed the top two free agents available to identical 13 year $92m contracts. At the time they were 27-28, elite players, in the prime of their careers. 9 years later the team decided to buy out their contracts and suffer the salary cap penalties ($7.5m in dead cap space EACH) because things got so toxic. As you can imagine, wasting $15m of an already limited NHL salary cap budget on literally nothing has been crippling and has made building a competitive team near impossible. Just a warning to Chelsea supporters about what can happen when your team gives the wrong player a long term contract
There is no salary cap in the premier league, you can write a bad contract off and take a one time hit to profit/loss, or sell the player and book a loss (or profit, as the player's cost is diminished over the contract). It only affects one year from a FFP perspective if that is the case.
Better take than most sensationalist videos that mischaracterize the spending. I would have loved a titbit about how player wages are also a factor. Chelsea used to overpay players and that arguably hurt us more than paying the club upfront and tying pay to performance. As a fan of the club for 15 years, I'm excited and scared. However one thing is for sure, if you are Chelsea fan you will be tested on your loyalty and will never be bored.
Success aside, my chelsea fan friend complained that there is no soul/leader this team now. He misses John Terry or Lamps or Petr Cech etc. Who gave the fans someone to rely and relate to, not this endless stream of mercenaries. He thought Mason Mount was gonna be that guy or Abaraham
Gallagher, Reece James, chilwel is even doing it. Colwill is showing good signs. Enzo is feeling like a leader and future legend more and more this year.
@@djacks247Fun fact: since Enzo joined he only won 4 PL games. 2 against teams that have already been relegated and 2 against Luton and Bournemorth. Clutch player for all these relegation 6 pointers.
The youth movement is clear for everyone to see. last summer could have been a lot better, but almost every transfer since the new recruitment team was brought in has been good.
Last summer, there were only Tuchel and Boehly at the club. There weren't even any sports directors anymore. At the time I have the impression that it was really buying so as not to appear stupid and to do nothing in the summer.
But they payed top class money for players that arent top class but are talents but they didnt pay talent money If they payed 10mio for enzo that would be great but they payed 100 for him how is he worth that much right now hes clearly not elite yet
@@philipmeisterl 10 millions for a guy who appears to be one of the best midfield in the WC just two weeks before ? I'm sorry but it's daydreaming (or you think we are still in 2005 ^^') If you add the fact that the seller is Benfica, who has a huge reputation + they didnt want to sell this winter...
Good video, just my 2 cents: In general, medical staff do not get players injured. They treat injured players and deem them medically healed after finishing treatment course. Bedding those players in and making them match ready - it is often down to the coaching staff, the football guys. Now, players can get injured after contacts they received during games, such as a leg-breaking tackle. But training load contribute quite greatly towards the squad's injury situation. In Chelsea's case, starting from the beginning of Boehly's regime, they inherited Tuchel's unfit squad, then Potter was incapable of improving fitness, making Chelsea's squad going down with injuries and poor results. Pochettino is a Bielsa disciple, already (in)famous for his heavy training workload, thus current Chelsea's injury situation. But at least Chelsea players are sharp and match ready, which shows on the pitch.
As a Chelsea fan, I'm apprehensive. There's been so much money spent and not much to show for it so far; last season descended into a bit of a farce. Sure, it'll take time to develop the younger players, but at the same time, I can't help but wonder if the club are being fleeced with some of the transfers. The price tags are ridiculous for the players we've got, and that can't be helping the confidence of some of the players who haven't been in great form, e.g. Mudryk. I'm worried that if Profit and Sustainability/FFP decide to actually show some teeth that we could be in huge trouble. I feel like Boehly and co. are banking on a top 4 this season, which I think we'll have to really fight for. Brighton are definitely laughing.
The biggest mistake Chelsea made was letting go of Jose. Yes they still won some titles and CLs along the way, but Jose's teams and the foundation he (and to some extent Ranieri) laid, are why Chelsea became a global brand. Never lose your brand ambassador just because the eggs don't make the omelette.
the amortization over 8yrs was a brilliant idea gotta give to boehly. however recruitment hasn't been specially terrible compared to arsenal and man u (70 mount, 80 anthony, 75 for havertz). and also dumping unwanted players for a nice fee was also pretty smart.
After giving out your 1st 2 eight year player contracts, the rules were changed, so now you can only spread the payments over 5 years on your balance sheet. You can give players 20 year contracts, but now 5 years is the maximum period you may spread those transfer fees over. 😮
You seem to have your head in the clouds if you think the recruitment hasn’t been terrible. Every player you mentioned that man united or Arsenal overpaid for you can find examples at Chelsea that match or almost double those prices. Caicedo, Fernandez, Cucurella, Mudryk, Fofana and that’s not to mention all the others that weren’t quite as expensive but sure all hail “genius” Todd Boehly
@@amlmorris Not for the FA, only relevant for UEFA. The rules also only came in this summer, so the first two transfer windows and all those players are on the old rules.
One of those Trust The Process kind of things. Or maybe Boehly bought the club and thought he and his fellow investors would make money. Bought all the young players in the hope of selling them for profit. Perhaps mid table in the top flight is good enough since the money earned is a lot.
Very interesting video! Has there ever been another team that changed its roster so drastically in such a short time? That's really very odd. Thank you for all your research and beautifully presented videos! 😎🙏🍿
Chelsea are fine…for now. The first £600m was capitalized over 8yrs (hence the 8yr contracts) and the remaining money they spent must be capitalized over 5yrs which is roughly £35m. So when you overlay one capitalized amount with the other, it’s about £135m/yr which is fine. The issue could become if they don’t start increasing their revenue soon (winning competitions and getting into the CL) is one risk while buying players with potential could mean some shine (good) while others may flop (bad) which means they won’t be able to get them off their balance sheets. FFP breaches currently? No. FFP problems if they don’t start winning comps and get back into the CL? More probable. Add an increasing number of flops and that combo could be very problematic in not so distant future. Only time will tell…
1:09 "but I have to admit, they've taken a bold strategy" - Yeah... I don't think anyone is struggling to admit that bro lol. Getting into an MMA cage and attempting to fight with 1 arm behind your back whilst hopping on 1 leg would also be a "bold strategy"... it wouldn't make it any less insane either 👍
Chelsea do have a lot of talents for the next seasons. If they all develop how they hope, they'll be a real force in a few seasons. They just don't seem to really have a scouting department. They aren't surprising with some young kids from south america we haven't heard of yet, they sign after breaking through for the highest possible price. What their scouts have done, some average football fan watching some games could've easily given them those names (I could've for 90% of those signings) It'll be interesting to see if their strategy pays off. The success rate on these transfers needs to be exceptionally high. They've been bailed out by Saudi Arabia taking players, but i'm not sure that's a future proof repeatable thing.
I think people should look back at early Abramovich's era. At that time he also spent an equivalent of 1 billion euros, but ended up winning lots of things and breaking records. The problem with Chelsea likely rest with the coach staffs. They had emerging and prime Mourinho at that day and nowadays they had Potter, Lampard, and recently Poch is appointed. I rate Poch very high as a Spurs fan, but i doubt he's one to rally these players to perform at the maximum level.
To be honest i do not think that this madness will be over. I do think Poch will improve Chelsea but I feel like it’s gonna be like our club Man United. Shitty with some golden moments here and there. I would love to see these guys improve but i don’t see it. I am enjoying the memes😂😂💀
Since the arrival of Ten Hag, Man U has nevertheless gotten back to the top level. The problem is that today the level of the Premier League is incredible. You have like 6-7 clubs that have the level to play the C1, and as many that can try to win the C3 or the C4 (I mean, the proof last year). It's maybe easier today to win the C1 than the PL.
I wouldn't even say that Chelsea had overpaid for a lot of these players. Like yes, for the big signings like Enzo, Caicado, Mudryk they overpaid. But given the situation they were in for those signings, the price was always going to be high. For most of those players in the first team though, they've been well priced. Players like Badishile, Jackson, Gusto, etc
Chelsea are the OG plastic club which was used by their owner for Sportswashing. They also had the audacity to compare them with Arsenal and their fans also used to say how they're the biggest club in England which will never be true because Arsenal has history and genuine passionate fans worldwide, I'm just happy as a Liverpool fan to see Arsenal back cause they will always be a proper club, long may this dumpster fire of Chelsea continue.
We really don't care what any rival supporters think. It mostly comes from a place of jealousy. We'll see who has the last laugh when we have young players who have grown together and have chemistry.
Damn so many videos by the best Football TH-camr! This man know the Future he can jinx any team with just a video! Just look his videos from last season. God Bless Football Iconic.
It’s gonna end very badly and those fans that watched with glee as they overspent on players who they locked themselves into keeping for practically their whole careers will see their club sink to new depths
Chelsea need patience, yeah very true , the fans but I don't think it's a good idea for the recent managers to do some unnecessary experiments whiles they know they already have a very sure way to winning games easily. You don't expect fans to stay silent after loss when they know the managers are those who employ a bad system for the players available instead of the right formation for the particular players available which makes them the most effective, anything less is failure. This situation has been obvious from the latter days of Tuchel till now.
I dont know why people keep bashing chelsea .What they are doing is planting seeds for the future to become the greatest team in history . They just need a few more players costing 100m+ each and they're golden.
They are literally just buying the biggest "wonderkids" that anyone and everyone already knows about. Giving 7-8 year contracts to them is just insanity considering so many wonderkids come nowhere close to reaching their potential. The ones that do usually need frequent starting time. Simply buying all of them and expecting a super team to just magically form isn't how any of this works. It's only going to get worse for Chelsea not better
You'll all be applauding Todd Boehly's strategy in a few years, when it comes good. Buying Strasbourg and and trying for Sporting was no accident, and this type of building is unprecedented in the world of football, with only Red Bull coming close.
All this and their football still is unconvincing and has no cutting edge and they lost to Nottingham Forest at home yesterday...Chelsea is a just a mess
Whether what Chelsea is doing will work or not remains to be seen, but if it does work they will have one of the best teams in the league for years to come
This is going to go up in flames when they realise they're stuck with 30 odd people on ridiculous wages for the next decade and the best they can do is loan them out with only a % covered by the signing team - not a great option with fifa regulations. The other choice is pay them off. Imagine 5 more years of drinkwater. That's what they're facing
The thing is..they don’t have crazy contracts…with the last singings they actually restructured the salary policies in the club except the sterling-enzo-Reece James..all the rest are under 150k per week…in comparison to leeets say Mount at united with 350k per week contract
There’s no leaders apart from Silva and he ain’t got long left … we will see though but I don’t think it will materialise the way we want … no leaders being bought.. when AB done it he bought it proper players… Drogba , Carvalho , Wayne Bridge , Makelele, etc this team is full of young prospects but we will see I may be wrong

Add an increasing number of flops and that combo could be very problematic in not so distant future. Only time will tell…
We tend to also forget that over the last 15 years Chelsea has been in top 5 selling clubs in the world also... that balances the books nicely.
But when you become a mid table club it becomes harder to sell players for good money
Hardly makes a dent
In terms off FFP it does. FFP accounts over a longer duration chap...@@danielgreen8406
This is either gonna go really really well or really really bad
With the amount of money spent there can be no in between
0:30 and right after you uploaded this CHO left too 😔
1:09 "but I have to admit, they've taken a bold strategy" - Yeah... I don't think anyone is struggling to admit that bro lol. Getting into an MMA cage and attempting to fight with 1 arm behind your back whilst hopping on 1 leg would also be a "bold strategy"... it wouldn't make it any less insane either 👍
That opening segment with Brighton 😂😂😂. You killed me mfo🤝🏾. As a Chelsea fan I am both hurt and entertained by the truth you spit
Chelsea do have a lot of talents for the next seasons. If they all develop how they hope, they'll be a real force in a few seasons.
They just don't seem to really have a scouting department. They aren't surprising with some young kids from south america we haven't heard of yet, they sign after breaking through for the highest possible price. What their scouts have done, some average football fan watching some games could've easily given them those names (I could've for 90% of those signings)
It'll be interesting to see if their strategy pays off. The success rate on these transfers needs to be exceptionally high. They've been bailed out by Saudi Arabia taking players, but i'm not sure that's a future proof repeatable thing.
There are few things more satisfying than seeing Chelsea spend over a billion on transfer fees in 3 transfer windows and still play like crap 😁
Love your work, fellow South African 🔥🔥
I think people should look back at early Abramovich's era. At that time he also spent an equivalent of 1 billion euros, but ended up winning lots of things and breaking records. The problem with Chelsea likely rest with the coach staffs. They had emerging and prime Mourinho at that day and nowadays they had Potter, Lampard, and recently Poch is appointed.
I rate Poch very high as a Spurs fan, but i doubt he's one to rally these players to perform at the maximum level.
Great video again, thanks for that!
We need to just buy the entire Brighton scouting squad. 😂
Great video man!
To be honest i do not think that this madness will be over. I do think Poch will improve Chelsea but I feel like it’s gonna be like our club Man United. Shitty with some golden moments here and there. I would love to see these guys improve but i don’t see it. I am enjoying the memes😂😂💀
Since the arrival of Ten Hag, Man U has nevertheless gotten back to the top level.
The problem is that today the level of the Premier League is incredible.
You have like 6-7 clubs that have the level to play the C1, and as many that can try to win the C3 or the C4 (I mean, the proof last year).
It's maybe easier today to win the C1 than the PL.
your club are the complete opposite to Chelsea, manutd are a finished club while Chelsea are building yet another dynasty
@@MVG7what dynasty? Potter certainly had one. Lampard too.
I wouldn't even say that Chelsea had overpaid for a lot of these players.
Like yes, for the big signings like Enzo, Caicado, Mudryk they overpaid. But given the situation they were in for those signings, the price was always going to be high.
For most of those players in the first team though, they've been well priced. Players like Badishile, Jackson, Gusto, etc
I love your videos so much man. Highlight of my day ❤️
Chelsea are the OG plastic club which was used by their owner for Sportswashing. They also had the audacity to compare them with Arsenal and their fans also used to say how they're the biggest club in England which will never be true because Arsenal has history and genuine passionate fans worldwide, I'm just happy as a Liverpool fan to see Arsenal back cause they will always be a proper club, long may this dumpster fire of Chelsea continue.
Dropping this a day before Chelsea losing to Forest at home is even more hilarious 😂
Chelsea was the only prem club with a net profit of +£129m this summer..
..and then Caicedo happened 😹
That one player on the bench is no longer there
Can't wait Todd buying the Brighton stadium to relocate and rename Chelsea into the Brighton Cowboys
We really don't care what any rival supporters think. It mostly comes from a place of jealousy. We'll see who has the last laugh when we have young players who have grown together and have chemistry.
You guys were literally saying this shit two or three years ago.
@@conors4430they won CL 2 years ago though
Damn so many videos by the best Football TH-camr! This man know the Future he can jinx any team with just a video! Just look his videos from last season. God Bless Football Iconic.
It’s gonna end very badly and those fans that watched with glee as they overspent on players who they locked themselves into keeping for practically their whole careers will see their club sink to new depths
Love the consistent uploads. Keep ‘em up ❤️
All in or all out, go big or go home
Chelsea need patience, yeah very true , the fans but I don't think it's a good idea for the recent managers to do some unnecessary experiments whiles they know they already have a very sure way to winning games easily. You don't expect fans to stay silent after loss when they know the managers are those who employ a bad system for the players available instead of the right formation for the particular players available which makes them the most effective, anything less is failure. This situation has been obvious from the latter days of Tuchel till now.
That one player from the bench you mentioned at 0:32 has left for a bigger club!
I dont know why people keep bashing chelsea .What they are doing is planting seeds for the future to become the greatest team in history . They just need a few more players costing 100m+ each and they're golden.
Well that would mean that they would have to also spend a good amount less in the next 8 years. So it will hit them hard in the future.
They are literally just buying the biggest "wonderkids" that anyone and everyone already knows about. Giving 7-8 year contracts to them is just insanity considering so many wonderkids come nowhere close to reaching their potential. The ones that do usually need frequent starting time. Simply buying all of them and expecting a super team to just magically form isn't how any of this works. It's only going to get worse for Chelsea not better
This is madness - C3P0’s favourite quote. Even R2D2 would agree … hope he doesn’t short-circuit with the insane amount of money Todd has spent!
You not wrong even as a chelsea fan i gotta say all this speeding isnt showing on field. Alas i have faith we can raise up back.
You'll all be applauding Todd Boehly's strategy in a few years, when it comes good.
Buying Strasbourg and and trying for Sporting was no accident, and this type of building is unprecedented in the world of football, with only Red Bull coming close.
if todd boehly were from the middle east or russia people will be talking about chelsea very differently
Imagine spending 1B so you can disguise a 100M pack to ukraine and call it mismanagement
Mad how Raheem Sterling is now one of the experienced players, where’s the time gone?
3 Games: Giroud (4) Pulisic (2).....AC Milan 3-0
As long as Brighton can keep finding gems, Chelsea will be fine
All this and their football still is unconvincing and has no cutting edge and they lost to Nottingham Forest at home yesterday...Chelsea is a just a mess
my brother was 5 years ago at stamford bridge and he said the stadium was rusting everywhere, i dont think that changed since then
pochettino needs to wake up too
I presume Chelsea will end up in the bottom half this year again.
Hudson Odoi is now at Nottingham Forest lol
Chelsea are higher cost Forest this year, and they just lost to them over the weekend.
The plan is probably not to get relagated 😂
Whether what Chelsea is doing will work or not remains to be seen, but if it does work they will have one of the best teams in the league for years to come
Even Hudson-Odoi has gone, didn't take chelsea long to sink you.
Trust the process
can i know which pinkxo music it is, I can't get it off my head, please
the song that starts the video
can't call it a crisis if it's been happening for well over a year now. it's the norm, rather than an exception
Keep it up big man 🎉
One thing we all tend to forget is that American Money isn't real
I love watching the trainwreck that is Chelsea
3at the back is killing the club!
This guy is football’s MKBHD.
Hudson Odoi has also left lol
I recently change my FM23 starting screen picture to THE MAN😆
This is going to go up in flames when they realise they're stuck with 30 odd people on ridiculous wages for the next decade and the best they can do is loan them out with only a % covered by the signing team - not a great option with fifa regulations. The other choice is pay them off. Imagine 5 more years of drinkwater. That's what they're facing
The thing is..they don’t have crazy contracts…with the last singings they actually restructured the salary policies in the club except the sterling-enzo-Reece James..all the rest are under 150k per week…in comparison to leeets say Mount at united with 350k per week contract
im absolutely loving chelsea's downfall. you dont get to waltz in, spend a billion pounds blindly, and succeed. you reap what you sow. -arsenal fan
This is SPARTA!
Lmao I was waiting for you to say what that conversion would be in rands.
Ndeyp Tinashe
I think losing nkunku so early into the season will really hurt them
Latvia just got injured😭
How do you like a video twice? Great work!
Asking Chelsea fans to be patient is like asking Madrid fans to be humble
poch being like who's malang sarr.
I think we all have been waiting for this video
There’s no leaders apart from Silva and he ain’t got long left … we will see though but I don’t think it will materialise the way we want … no leaders being bought.. when AB done it he bought it proper players… Drogba , Carvalho , Wayne Bridge , Makelele, etc this team is full of young prospects but we will see I may be wrong
