No... not even close... and I absolutely love Ronaldinho. Injuries truly prevented Ronaldo to be in contention as the GOAT
Go.
And that's why he's a better player. It doesn't matter what Ronaldo did because he never really played consistently enough to become anywhere close to a GOAT player. Ronaldinho was at his level and actually played, thus why he's the better player.
Ronaldo pre injuries was unstopable and won the ballon d'or before he was 21 and a world cup (as a substitute I know... but still at 17 years old)
Hazard and Morata money. They have a bunch of money coming in from the loan army. Boga and Pasalic basically pay for Tagalifico/Telles. There will be some fringe players sold off, and we have some big wage earners leaving, Willian and Pedro. The rumors in January was we had 100+M to spend, and we didn't buy anyone.
But everyone lost a shit ton of money and so won’t be buying many if any players.
You’re expecting to get money from your fringe players and loan army. No ones going to pay anything worthwhile for them.
We already got the money for Boga and Pasalic, Hazard and Morata as well. Money was already available in January and not used. The war chest is already there, everything else is just gravy. Selling fringe players for 10ish was never going to be the make or break for raising funds, the bulk of the funds are already there.
now you know how I feel about Argentinian players.
How much of that did they have to use to pay salaries and things like that because they didn't make money from the games? Also I could be entirely wrong about this but wasn't there a clause in the TV deal for the PL where if all the games weren't played/televised then they wouldn't pay at all?
I'm not going to debate if the money actually exists or not. One of the trusted Chelsea journalists/sources is reporting this is their plan, so not sure why it would be their plan if they have no means of accomplishing it.
Because Chelsea doesn't have nearly as much coming in. Great they had a few players leave for high fees in Morata and Hazard. They also bought Ziyech and Kovacic and a few seasons ago they bought Pulisic, Kepa, and Jorginho for over 150M. It's not like they haven't spent a ton of money in the last few seasons. United and City are horrible examples because they have so much money already and are probably two members of the top 5 in richest clubs and two members of the clubs that have the highest revenue.
