I don’t see any difference whatsoever. Paying a ton on external players, pushing the internal players down the depth chart/churning and burning them. It’s not different just because you are buying someone is younger and Chelsea are still getting old players like Koulibaly and Aubameyang. It’s the same Chelsea just throwing money around.
In addition to that I am not impressed by his pace.
Again, previous owner, management, and coaches. You'd think you'd know that but can't seem to follow along.
Koulibaly happened when all of Abramovich's people were still running the club, and Aubameyang was Tuchel's decision when they were letting him make decisions during the transition. It's more like billionaire didn't care about spending that money and it doesn't reflect the philosophy of anyone he has actually hired this season.
This window we have bought an 18 year old, 20 year old, and 21 year old. Our biggest money deal is on pursuing another 21 year old. All of these are apparently driven by advanced stats and as a good fit for Potter's football philosophy. Odd that anyone would think this is the "same Chelsea".
I would say that a 21 year old with 100+ starts in L1 already "made" it.
I’m not having that until there is any evidence of having that. Advanced stats driving transfers is not unique to Chelsea and Chelsea need to prove they are sticking with Potter enough for his philosophy to matter. none of their signings except Cucurella scream Potter philosoph/anything unique to Potter. That’s just flowery Language they feed the fans. Unless you want to describe Potters
This is a bunch of nonsense.
Depends on what you mean by made it. He's clearly a footballer playing top level. Would he justify that fee? Coaching could help mitigate his issues. Im just saying 38 million on a player with that big of a weakness doesn't seem smart.
Every transfer is based on advanced stats. Its disingenuous to say they are only using it now.
In terms of price, it depends if the buying club feels he's coachable in order to progress.
Shit source is an understatement for instance this gem of a tweet
He wasn’t in fact bart hasn’t been in charges for over 2 years now.
Balls didn’t realize it was that long. It’s been a real weird year.
He doesn't know who the president is of a top 10 club in the world. If that's a good follow ...Balls didn’t realize it was that long. It’s been a real weird year.
That guy is generally a good follow. He’s not perfect but pretty unbiased and tries to break down complex ideas (like the Barca situation). Issue is that he’s not good at not including his opinion but he is generally pretty good at disclosing what is his opinion. This thread was a bit unhinged when it happened though.
This is the first I've heard of him and if he's making outrageous claims like Barca won't exist in a few years or simple mistakes as the Bart one, colour me unimpressed. Everything regarding barca and their finances coming from the EPL is unhinged. From Neville to the Athletic sources to this clown. It seems as though they really would like to see barca disappear and its clouding their judgment on things.Balls didn’t realize it was that long. It’s been a real weird year.

Yeah definitely. I think it’s just such a weird situation with Barca that everyone’s trying to make sense of it. Lots of those PL guys are trying to claim how it could benefit the PL without really getting all of the facts straight.
