@@adeo767 that’s not my point and it’s not relevant because he was already on a 7 year contract anyway. So the fact he’s signed a contract extension won’t change what happens in 2-3 years like the original poster mentioned. Obviously getting money for a player is better than them leaving on a free. And yes I am a Chelsea fan and it’s great he’s signed an extension
It’s such a massive gamble. What if he gets a major injury and can’t ever get back to good form. Chelsea then have to keep paying him for almost a decade even if he doesn’t play, unless someone else is willing to pay him as much.
i dont think palmer will flop but the downside to long contracts is if someone is a flop and no incentive. look at Rashford when theres a contract up. he becomes amazing
I don’t think you understand lads 😂. No one would bid for him due to the length of his contract we ain’t in panic mode and we don’t need to sell. He’s just potentially thrown his career away if it starts getting sour. When was the last time someone with a 9 year contract even a 5 get sold? They dont 😂😂😂
The only motive behind this new deal is to increase his wages. He was on 60,000 pounds per week. Thats too low for a player of his caliber. He should be the highest earner at Chelsea.
Then what's the point of giving long term 7 years deals to players when you're going to give them upgraded new contract so quickly? It means the players who worked out would get a new contract. And players who don't work out, then you're stuck with them for a very long time.
@@sandboxplayerz667the point of the long contract is to safeguard the asset. Let’s start from this premise: the owners may not understand football, but they do understand money and business. Now, go and have a look at what Chelsea have paid over the years to players who were no longer wanted but couldn’t be sold Vs money lost to players with value leaving on a free or in final year of contract. The owners have done the math and worked out that it’s a better policy to pay a few players some years after they’re no longer wanted rather than allowing players with value to leave for free or less than their worth.
@@goldboy150 Still, didn't answer my question. What's the point of 7 year contracts for everyone? All right, giving one Palmer is fine as they tried and tested him. All major clubs do that. You give another contract to reflect the value of that player in the club. Even if Palmer was on 5 year contract, he would have signed the new one. I think 7 years is too long for the first contract as it might finish off hunger in some players.
@@sandboxplayerz667 so the hunger thing is a seperate issue but worthy of debate. In terms of why other players; the principle is the same no matter who the player is. Think of it like this: the downside of a long contract is someone like Malang Sarr - someone your stuck paying 2-3 years of wages because he has a contract and isn’t in demand for a sale. So you’re losing maybe 4 million in wages over a few years - some of which you recoup in loan fees and not having to pay his wages while on loan. But for every Sarr there is a rudiger who would’ve netted you 30m if you had him under contract. Or look at the discount Gallagher is getting on the market because he only has a year left. The owners have done the math on this and worked out that it’s worth losing a few million here and there on a few duds that you’ll have under contract for longer than you’d like in order to safeguard the assets of the players that are worth a lot if nailed down to a long contract. Obviously, you don’t know ahead of time which will be the duds and which will be the assets so you have to sign everyone up long term. What people miss is that paying wages for a few extra years is comparatively small potatoes to the clubs bottom line compared with the loss of major sale prices that occur from selling players in last year of contract or losing them for nothing.
He already had a contract till 2031. That's 7 years remaining! It wasn't necessary to offer him improved terms this early, and it's done nothing to really prevent him from leaving in the next year or two. If it's a salary issue, Chelsea could just make a counter-offer whenever another club makes him an offer in the future. If he really wanted to play for Chelsea then, he'd take 250k/week from Chelsea over 250k/week from Barca. If not, then the improved contract was a waste of money anyway.
Nonsense. He had a great season and the salary increase is from 75k to 120k, so hardly gonna break the bank. Why not reward him for his efforts and more appropriately reflect his place in the squad.
I don’t see why they had to increase the length of his contract. His current deal was until 2031 ffs. He’s got 7 years left yet!! Yes he had an exceptional season last year and was excellent. Hopefully he continues to play like this but what if he’s poor next season and the season after that ? Then Chelsea are stuck with a player on a contract until 2033. They should have given him another season at least or 2 seasons before offering him such a deal. In 2 years he’s still gonna have 5 years left on his deal. The worst thing that can happen now is that he drops form due to this new contract like we see soo many players do.
This season Cole Palmer will not be the same player he was last season. No doubt, Cole Palmer is a unbelievable player but the reason he excelled was Pochettino. He's a man manager and anyone who doesnt fit into his system, he moulds the team around you. He wasnt much of a tactician last season, but he gave Palmer so much freedom and made the whole system revolve around him. He wont have that with Enzo Maresca, he's influenced by Guardiola and he wont give Palmer so much freedom rather he'll tell him to be in one strict position.
Dreams to be on talksport, gets a chance to WOW the guys that work there with insightful, knowledgeable content and just proceeds to talk absolute nonsense 😂 and he has a degree is sports journalism 😂🤣😂🤣
For those who don't seem to understand y this is a good thing for the club, Chelsea have just ensured that they can keep his salary as low as possible for as long as possible and in 2 or 3 years when he's 25 and he looks around the European leagues and is wondering why he's still only on about 160 - 200k while Jude Bellingham and any other players at his level are getting 300 - 400k (cuz that's where the market is headed now with all this football inflation) the club will be in the driver's seat should he decide Barcelona or Madrid or PSG can pay him more. All this negativity about the owners has truly blinded so many Chelsea fans that we now even question the value of good news. If it turns out we have to sell him by then, the vast level of scouting and and transfers of young players who are 16 and 17 now will mean we have the best young talents in the world lining up to replace Palmer and any other success stories like him at the club and on and on. A literal conveyor belt of talent. In the meantime, with the right manager in charge to establish a sustainable and replicable football philosophy at the club, it won't matter what players stay and what players get sold. This is basically an industrialized form of the Brighton recruitment model + Liverpool’s analytics approach to identifying staff and players that fit the philosophy + Man City’s multi-club model to funnel the best staff and players from BluCo’s satellite clubs to Chelsea.
