@Vizeh it was a good video apart from the mistake where you stated that we brought Sarr for 16 mill That was his value at the time the actual amount we spent on him was nothing we got him on a free and he left on a free with us getting a tiny profit from loan fees
I went on twitter today & saw 2 fellow Chelsea fans tweeting damn near the same thing "Please Give us a transfer ban" Can't blame or disagree with them. At this point, Boehly is shoving money down the shitter.
While Boehly could be hold accountable, I think he's a symptom for the real issue here. Eghbali is the real mastermind of this clown show tbh and I said this as a Chelsea hater
i dont mind if we get a transfer ban only because of the amount of players we have as options, the only reason we did good last year during an injury crisis that wiped about 7/11 first team starters was because we had good depth and random players like palmer, and gusto came to the light
Boehly is just the pretty face of this whole scam. Behdad Eghbaly appartently has more power to make decisions. Either way, I've been a Chelsea fan since 2006, and for the love of this club I want these clowns to leave. In 2 years they have destroyed the most successful club in London (European title wise). I genuinely hope we get relegated so that they are forced to sell the club to people who actually know how to run a football club
I see this going 1 of 3 ways. 1) Either complete dominance where we constantly have the greatest team as we’ve signed these young wonder kids. 2) We end up a mid table side because anytime a player starts to get good we sell them for huge profit and the next youngster comes in - E.g if we sell Palmer in the next 2 seasons for when Estevao comes in and then repeat before the team even has a chance to compete for titles. Or 3) We go into administration.
Option two is a bit more realistic tbf Dortmund used to be trophy winners then they switched thier model to young player - profit then the next young player
He does the same thing with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But the MLB has 4 teams per team MLB is top, 2nd is AAA, 3rd AA (this is where the real promising future players play and they often skip AAA), and A…
As an Arsenal fan I used to say I hated Chelsea and they deserve to crumble but now it is genuinely sad listening to all these players that won’t get game time and probably ruining their careers. I honestly hate what’s happening as it isn’t fair on the players.
The hope is at least they can go on loan for game time, the issue is by time their loan finished Chelsea sign 2-3 more players in their position it’s so odd
The players have the option of saying no to Chelsea. But they choose the security of a long contract that gives them more money than they deserve over a proper career path. If they're dumb enough to risk their career then that is on them.
They will have careers elsewhere if they don’t make it here. These kids are excited to join our club because they know it will get them exposure to show the world what they’ve got.
“Shiny Brazilian Wonderkids” only get better when they are surrounded by skilled senior professionals who can teach and nurture their talent. They need time and opportunities to play, what’s going on is just madness.
Exactly vini had benzema and others… Neymar had messi and others it’s true what your saying Chelsea don’t have a clue expecting madueke to show estevao how it’s done 🤣🤣🤣🤣 disaster waiting to happen.
Correct, there's nothing genetically better about Brazilians at football. They're good because of their development at a young age. The less development they have, the more you're essentially buying nothing.
@@Mostwantedbully Exactly, and people seem to forget that Vini's first season was a disaster (you can lookup videos of Benzema saying to his teammates that he swore Vini must be playing against them). It's the real madrid leadership structure that whipped him into a great player.
Kepa is gone most likely on a free or for 20 mil Sanchez won’t be renewed Gaga is still developing and who I personally believe will be the actual future goal keeper. Bettinelli is like 32 and not worth much Flip will most likely be number 1 Dorde will either be number 2 or sold Bergstrom is an emergency keeper
@@samelmudir Brighton doesn't have expectations to be competing at the top level. Just because they did it doesn't mean chelsea should copy it. That is if they have any ambition to win trophies.
@@Vizehif we dont get zubimendi, we are going to be in an interesting situation. Unless we buy someone as fast as we did with gakpo. Edit: Forgot about Ngumoha. Guess where he’s from.
I've been saying this for a long time, and it's an opinion I stand strongly by. Many many MANY future talents are having their careers ruined simply by being at Chelsea, and that makes me really sad. This shouldn't be how you run a football club. It's clear that everything poured into Chelsea is about profits and assets. What was once a club with passion in its direction is all gone. As a Chelsea fan it's upsetting to see. The way we do not look for leaders, the way we do not look for a team. The way everyone is just a price tag and their mediocre performances aren't getting better, and won't for years. Players that could have been generational cannot go back when they've not been given the chance. It's cold and I think in years to come people will look back on it and understand just how bad this really was.
@@MrMilla103 There can only be so much space in a football club for players to evolve and become better. A lot of these young players won’t get a chance to progress in their careers. It seems that you think that if you buy a young player it is a guarantee that they will be worth more when they are older. If they don’t get any chances to prove other clubs that they are good, they won’t get bought.
As a West Brom fan, Chelsea signed one of the best and promising academy players we had for a long time, Izzy Brown. He had just broken into the first team at 16. Then Chelsea bought him, and it destroyed his career. Such a shame.
He was on loan to Brighton and suffered a horrific injury in one of his first games, got sent back to Chelsea to recover but he never really could and was never the same again, I think with Izzy it was just bad luck with injuries!
how is it possible that Chelsea can keep on spending billions while other premier league teams can't even spend 200 million, overall, I think Chelsea need a ban for 3 years from signing players because they realistically don't need any signings whatsoever and i also think that any player that joins Chelsea any further will have their career ruined because how are all of those other players even going to be able to get playtime?
@@Vizeh sadly, i don't think half of the players would ever be playing, they would probably be loaned out because it's going to be difficult for the manager to give fair playtime to most of the players. And there is a possibility that some of the players might just leave the club after 1, to seasons.
It's even worse outside the Premier League and the European elite. Nobody can pay the money that Chelsea is spending on these players except a select few clubs. So if none of these rich clubs want to spend the money they won't make any profit either. Just look at BVB, the second biggest club in Germany and a Champions League regular, that's hardly a small club but their record transfer is Ousman Dembele for 35 Million Euros, who they obviously sold on to Barca. That's less than Chelsea payed for Dewsbury Hall, Badiashile, Disasi and about the same as Madueke. So I don't know how they make a profit on an Uguchuku or a Chukuemeka
They're trying too hard to bring the American sports model of rebuilding and farming players into the Premier League. This makes sense in the MLB (the league where Boehly as the most experience in), which has a closer degree of parity and where having a large deep roster is critical due to the 156 game season structure (and where having a crap season is actually beneficial due to draft lotteries), but it is very odd in a league where pro/rel is a possibility and where Chelsea have a clear financial advantage over most teams in the League.
Well this, and also those extra players who are being bought can’t just be sent to AAA or AA. The Dodgers are a damn super team, but the young talent actually are playing in minor leagues. Can’t do that at Chelsea.
and that the playoffs are a literal crapshoot where the better team has had a losing record in the first round since seeding was introduced in 2001 Boehly is doing a Premier League model in L.A. and an MLB model at Chelsea If the Premier League had a 12 team playoff Chelsea would have a real chance at winning it If MLB had a single table then the Dodgers would be United and the Braves would be Arsenal
@@sawyertuide7636Honestly I think they might try using Strasbourg and maybe a few other global small league teams as AAA/AA affiliates Just send non-generational prospects to France
The thing is, this used to work really well before the uefa restrictions on loans. Because you can in theory send them all out to top flight clubs. But right now the loans are capped, I don’t know the exact number, but I do know that it gets worse every season till the cap becomes around 7 I think. Now the situation is there are around 20 amazingly talented wonderkids stagnating in the Chelsea u23. Of course they won’t forget how to play football, but keeping them in the u23 competition will hardly increase their value, maybe even the opposite. The only option would be to stack Strasbourg with young players, but I think uefa will also regulate that if Chelsea buy 10 wonderkids from Strasbourg every season.
Basically this. The whole flipping thing is just stupid. They still pay all these wages for players that don't really contribute. When they sell a player they then need to get the money they paid intially, agent fees and wages to make a profit. And then there's all the big signings like Fofana or Cucurella that will never earn them a good fee.
For a person that has been following the club from 2002 and watching the player work their way up to the first team. When last season ended, i knew that this was not the same club. So i, as a fan, i am stepping back.
Basically the baseball rebuild approach: Hoard prospects since they're cost controlled and hope enough of them pan out at the same time so you have a relatively cheap, championship caliber team.
Nah, I'm a Chelsea hater and I know for the fact Boehly was never the problem even if you could hold him accountable to an extent. Can I introduce you to a man named Eghbali
A few mistakes in the video 1 Malang Sarr was singed on a free originally 2 during a transfer ban or embargo usually you are still able to loan players out but you just can’t loan players into the club 3. The idea Chelsea bring through talent to the first team all the time which is false throughout most of the Roman era this is based off the 2019/20 window which was a freak situation due to having a transfer ban. Some context you also didn’t mention was the fact that in the Roman era there has always been a huge squad of players young and not so young. Do people forget the 42 man loan army Chelsea had. I agree with some of your points and disagree with some of your points but the points above are some facts that are simply wrong some not a big deal but some does contradict some of your arguments.
I genuinely seen some Liverpool fans on twitter unironically want Todd Boehly as their owner purely because he spends money. It’s kinda sad. Why would anyone want someone so reckless running their club?
Because 90% of "fans" on Twitter either does not understand football or they're gloryhunting Chelsea fans that abandoned Chelsea because they've been shit for last few seasons.
Lmao... Chelsea is going to surprise many of you haters this season. Chelsea is now a youthful team, gaining experience they can only get better, mind you so many top clubs are facing or going to face aging issues sooner or later (same issue happened with the great AC Milan squad)
kepa sale relying almost completely on lunin leaving, petrovic will likely be seen as a risky and expensive option/you’ll make a loss on him. not exactly masterful management
I can't lie. i love the big signings, but what i love the most is watching a proper Chelsea boy represent the club and understand the inner gritty of the club. Theres something really appealing and prideful of watching ur very own become a great
Just as slight counter-arguement, we had done this under Roman rule as well with the signing of young players, in fact the whole reason we had a transfer ban in first place in 19/20 was because we illegally signed some young players. You make solid point where might have been bought for too much money (i agree), but as for lack of minutes, the players will get solid miniutes at other clubs e.g. Strabsburg one of feeder clubs, as we speak BlueCo (owner's of chelsea) are still scoping to buy another feeder club. In addition, the squad dynamic of the whole penalty situation at Everton has been already resolved by Enzo Marseca, the only reason why it happened was because Poch didn't stamp his authority onto the squad, you can probably go online find a quote saying that "he wanted the players to manage themselves" this created the 'toxic' narrative reported by the media. But Jackson, Madueke and Palmer all express their friendship online and even after the penatly situation. Madueke made sure to bring Jackson over and sort out the situation and everyone moved on. I don't deny that we 'lack experience' but i also have disagree that we void of it, they plenty of experienced players e.g. Nkunku (26), Tosin (27), Sterling (29) for example and we also experienced in terms of players who know chelsea e.g. Chiwell (+5 years at the club), Reece James (+10 years at the club), Colwill (+10 years at the club). In addition, they are also players taking up a leadership role in terms of the group like Cole Palmer. This season will difficult but i also don't believe it will be outwrite awful.
Problem is the rules have changed since then (and will continue to change) regarding loans reducing to 6 players over the age of 21 who don’t meet the home grown rules. A lot of the players you sign meet the U21 cap but won’t be at the club long enough before they turn 21 to meet the home grown rules. So realistically they are only going to have 1-2 years on loan to either prove good enough or you are going to have a excess of players you can’t loan and haven’t yet developed enough that either need to sit in your U23s or be sold. If it pays off you have some bargains. If it doesn’t the club has bought a bunch of anvils.
it's not a new strategy for top clubs, Chelsea and City have played the hoard wonderkids game for a while and it works to a degree, you stop rivals getting them, they become potential first teamers or you sell abroad for profit with a sell on fee and buy back - issue is Chelsea are doing it at an irresponsible level it seems and also not building a competent first team or any stability in the backroom staff - even if the buying young kids and selling them on aspect works, it doesn't resolve the lack of a plan with the first team :/ I'm confused by the whole thing - is it just some massive money laundering scam?
The Feeder club won’t help with the signed players because they still count for loans unfortunately. Personally I think you’re being a bit optimistic with the leadership group and compared to Chelsea 04/05 with winners like Makelele, Carvalho, Ferreira and Geremi around the club, or the recent City or Liverpool 1st turn titles, there’s a real dearth of winners or older heads in the dressing room. Maybe some can grow into it like Terry, Lampard, Drogba and Cech did but we’re seeing a squad completely dearth of experience at the moment that was only really tried by Arsenal in the late 0s and saw a number of failures. I think we have reasons to be optimistic, theres a good chance we can get top 4 (hopefully pre season doesn't count for anything…) but this squad does look dangerously unbalanced and bloated
Been a Chelsea fan for half of my life and it’s crazy to see these signings. I dunno whats going on at my club but I want the Terry, Lampard and Drogba days back man
I played Chelsea in fifa, i definetly sold like 30 players within 2 windows. Signed some Actual Quality players and then struggled with fitness cause i had too few players left (remember, its fifa so i dont have to worry about the club telling me "No, idc bout the money") ....and then within 2 seasons i had 52 squad players again cause fifa talent development is hella fun, I definetly did a chelsea thing where i got these talented yougnsters and then sent them out on loan for 2-3 seasons before either selling them on or keeping them as rotational/first 18. I love Career mode xD
Let me be honest here.. What Chelsea is doing can be seen as a strategy in 2 ways: 1. Trading players. If you see Chelsea raised 145M from the sales with another 100M expected (35M Lukaku, 30M Chalobah, then Carney, Sterling, Kepa, Petrovic, Matos, Broja, Datro Fofana, Angelo (who has interest from Spain)) and with 264M (amortization cost is 55M) per year. With may be Chilwell or Badiashile or Madueke or Ugochekwu or Santos may leave next season so it is not a problem. So just to do the accounting, you have 90M loss from last year and almost 200M profit this year minus 55M amortization so you are well off. Consider also all the big wages (if Lukaku and Kepa this year and Sterling and Chilwell next year leave will move away) Also it is about getting more and see who works well. The ones who shine, stay and the one who cant move. Look at Malo Gusto, Carney, Cucurella, Caicedo, Ugochuckwu, Palmer or Lavia. If one of them becomes a 100M player again then we have massive gains at our hands and already a player at the club. For example if Sterling leaves for 25-30M (first of all he will be in profit in the books, second 325K per week will be off the books, third we will have Neto as his replacement or even Esteavo Willian or Palmer or Paez can play on right alongside Mudryk - who is on 80K per week) and image the cycle repeats, if Willian becomes a star or Palmer is sold if Paez, Willain or Neto shines then we have another profit. So thats how it will become sustainable. Similarly if Badiashile is sold we have Ishi Smith bought for 4M or Anselmino for 16M as replacement. 2. This may also be long term strategy as once we go for Stadium rebuild with PSR enforced, it will be difficult to sign anyone next 4 years. So with a constant line of players we will be sorted for sometime
Financially Chelsea will be fine. It's a good business model selling and buying so many players but we're yet to see how it translates to on the field success. It's difficult for the manager and for the team to be consistent when you bring in 10 players and sell another 10 every summer
No clue how Maresca is working with a team this large. There’s over 40 players, almost the roster size of an NFL team in America. The players will all be out for themselves fighting to be noticed and get minutes in the first 11, which will be precious like gold. They probably can’t all fit in the main dressing room right now, let alone develop some form of cohesion amongst themselves. It will definitely be interesting to see how they can pull this off.
i think felix said it very well, the owners said from the start that this is a 4 window plan and apart from the first season i do see what they are trying to do, sign all these young players, amortise their fee, sell them 3-4 years later for more due to inflation and their value going up and keep the gems like estavao paez mec palmer etc. issue i have is we’ve plunged ourselves so deep into the rabbit hole of youth to the point that our very little amount of seniority such as sterling and chilwell are simply not top 4 quality or aren’t performing to that standard. maresca said in a conference that the selling of academy talents isn’t a chelsea issue it’s a football issue as they are forced to sell basically, and the board value reece and levi as world class talents while chalobah and gallagher aren’t and so aren’t good enough to keep,
but how can you expect for the youngsters we buy such as datro fofana, angelo, wiley, washington, richards, kellymen etc to perform when there are millions on people in front of them yk? wiley is obvi meant to be a maatsen / hall replacement but then we send him to strasbourg, mec is a long term gallagher but he’s 15/16 so we have to wait several years for him to get into the squad, paez and estevao in my opinion are exceptional talents even neymar sings the praise of estevao but we have palmer madueke neto nkunku jackson mudryk sterling angelo etc all blocking their way into the team, to sum all this up i do see the plan and i follow it, just feels like the owners have done 10+ transfer windows worth of work in 4 and so it gives maresca an impossible job
issue with that is, they are human beings not commodities, young players need to be nurtured and developed. Abramovic and co had a similar way of doing things and in fact most top clubs do it to varying degrees - you buy up top talent in the 16-21 age bracket who you can either use in the future or sell for profit and stop rivals getting them (we've all played FM right?). But at the same time you have a competent manager and experienced squad with mix of ages, a clear philosophy and stable backroom staff otherwise what's the point cos your first team performs poorly. also amortising their fee is all well and good if you believe in the investment and you're happy to be stuck paying it for the full term regardless of how they turn out - say NUFC right now are restricted by FFP but they know they have a growing revenue and rich owners so they amortise a deal cos they are happy to pay it in the future and be impatient - whether you sell the player or not, you still have to pay the full fee so if you sell half way through the contract, you will lose a big chunk of the fee because you still owe the previous club. it's not a foolproof plan, it's a gamble and last season it didn't pay off and they're now stuck with a few stinkers, they've not learnt though it seems
Trophies increase the value of a club more so than flipping players for transfer fees. Chelsea became one of the most valuable clubs in the world after winning silverware, not buying kids and making a 10 million profit off them. This is why I don't understand why Boehly and co. are going down this route? The formula was already there for them, but they've adopted one that will not work for a club like Chelsea.
@@StuTheDon17 I think they do plan to win things. If you see Boehly’s other sports teams they win a bunch of trophies. This is as much about business as sport for them. We have to have faith in the visions they’re bringing (what other fucking option do we have?). Many people said when Abramovic came it couldn’t work because of the Galácticos and that’s not how to build a team and everyone had to smoke it. Maybe this is the next evolution of football.
Been following and watching your content since you were living in Newcastle (feels like a lifetime ago) and it brings me joy and pride to see how your content has evolved after FIFA. Love these kind of videos and hope you continue doing them man.
As an American who has an idea of the owners, Felix pretty much nailed majority of it, but there’s more. We’re keeping elite talent from the academy, such as Colwill, Reece James, Tyrique George, Achempong, and much more. But the talent that Chelsea don’t see as elite are all going out the door. As for signings, Boehly has completely stepped away and reports from some stateside journalists suggest Egbahli makes most of the decisions on transfers. They want to build and develop a young team to be dominant when they become older, with the depth that Real Madrid have. Problem is, we haven’t got any senior players to help integrate these newcomers into the squad to teach them the ‘Cobham’ way. Some of these guys will be sold for just profit due to a lot of shady dealings from Roman and the past board. But in general, the ‘plan’ is to develop these major talents into world beaters, sell the worse of the bunch, and have a team of elite talent to win the league in 3-4 years time. The owners current aim is just Champions League football unfortunately, but they still expect FA cup and European trophies
As a chelsea fan i cant believe we bought all these players and not one single CB with experience like Silva to offload some defensive of that experience 😢
We have the same problem here in Canada with youth teams in top flight, and even our highest divisions, League One and CPL. the squads load themselves with 40+ players and it just causes disasters everywhere. Talented players being left behind, forgotten and then left to fight for a spot by being over selfish, causing all sorts of horrible chemistry and dynamics with squads
As a Chelsea fan I would like to say why I think we are in this situation and what the general idea behind the FM/career mode running behind the club post Roman. In short it’s down to four main things. 1. (As mentioned in the vid) a “proactive” approach to the potential transfer ban/ points deduction from activities from the Roman era leading to the frantic buying of youth prospects like a FM save, in order to have new players even under a restrictions using loopholes like how Roman did to get pulisic and sign Kovasic permanently in 2019. 2. PSR shenanigans you also briefly mentioned that in the vid but what I’m referring to is the business we’ve had with Villa with the Maatsen and Kellyman deals with the overvaluation of Kellyman signing him for £20 million (20 times his market value according to transfermarkt) but this is less so a Chelsea problem and more so a “PSR threatened clubs” problem as similar deals have happened with Everton, Newcastle and Villa this summer alone (a trend I expect to continue until regulatory bodies get involved) which has lead to some odd transfers like Kellyman to occur. 3. Multi club networks, a point that wasn’t in the video was the Chelsea owners aims to build a multi club network with the prior purchase of Strasbourg in 2023 and the links of the owners with clubs in Argentina and Portugal within the past year probably explain why Chelsea are buying youngsters to flip as they are not expected to play for Chelsea but are expected to go on loan or sold to clubs within the network as Strasbourg has demonstrated with andrey santos, Wiley and angelino leading me to conclude that the Chelsea youth project is a failed/underdeveloped multi club network with signings basically at the wrong club due to the small size of the network. 4. Preparing for a new stadium, it has been a main goal and struggle for Chelsea almost since the club’s founding to do something to expand or rebuild Stamford Bridge with the club on numerous occasions almost going bust on multiple occasions in the 80’s and 90’s over the issue (also being the reason we where sold go £1 to Bates). But where this is relevant to Clearlake is in one of its mission statements when they first bought the club in 2022 and being one of the pre conditions the Roman had for any suitors for the club was to rebuild the stadium like spurs or to expand like Liverpool did with Anfield. However, the problem with this is the extraordinary financial cost to building anything in London let alone a football stadium near central London. The effect it has on transfers is that it leads to the reasoning that if we spend money on high potential players now we don’t have to when the time comes to move ground, avoid the problem Arsenal and spurs had when they got their new stadiums, leading to those clubs going quiet in the transfer market the year their stadiums opened (spurs summer 2018 comes to mind). Also for the youth players we do flip, the profit made from these FM signings would be used to elevate the cost of the new stadium during and after construction, well that’s the idea I infer from it. In conclusion, I do think there is a reason behind the madness for the medium to long term as there is greater challenges ahead for Chelsea. However, where the idea falls flat on its face is the lack of coordination with Strasbourg and the lack of clubs within blueco’s multiclub model which trails behind other models like the city and red bull groups respectively leading to a situation where we have nfl rosters instead of a cohesive squad. TLDR; Clearlake are not the new Ridsdale, their multiclub network is too small and the club is expecting a major setback soon that prevents them from signing anyone (new stadium or embargo). But that’s just my unqualified take on my clubs situation. P.s Great vid and keep up the great work.
Also now în Conference League there are 2 teams that won their country Cup While being în the 2nd division, Corvinul Hunedoara in Romania and Wisla Krakovia in Poland
Despite how bleak it looks the players can be used in uecl games to give them a role. Players like madueke, mudryk, and badiashille could be sold in future for profits. All they need is an experienced leader in defence to give solidity and chemistry in the squad to solve there current issues.
The problem with players like Mudryk is to show a profit, he really needs to become the new Ronaldo or Salah. The fee was so high that we’re almost guaranteed to lose on him. He’s 23 and Wenger said that some players take off at 23, that’s the special age. So fingers crossed
I found out so hilarious the fact that I found out Penders as an exciting prospect on my Valencia career mode, and the 2 days later, he signed for Chelsea 😂😂😂
I completely agree with you Vizeh ( As a chelsea fan ) I am very concerned and dislike that we are constantly signing players mainly for FFF and for not giving our youth academy players a chance the foundation that chelsea fc is built around
As a Chelsea fan, there a 3 possibilities, we either dominate football with these youngesters and have a dynasty (incredibly low), we stay midtable as we keep doing this buy and play for a couple years before selling, or we are gonna be under investigation in a few years time for like 400 charges. There is going to be nothing inbetween
The "Chelsea Loan Farm" has been basically been a thing since the early 2010s Kinda surprised by how much shock there is about how they afford this etc (now the questions over how intelligent and successful are definitely valid and needed)
We all know football manager, watching a few players devalue each season because you can't give them enough minutes or their loan move to Macclesfield is working Chelsea have 30 players currently devaluing
Thing is a decent transfer window (if you're not playing a video game) is 3 outfielders + 1 GK, maybe you can get away with 4 or 5, youth signings are OK as long as you don't try and force them into the senior squad straight away, but seriously any more than I said and you risk destroying team chemistry
its really not that bad all the talks are that we have 40 players but about 15 of those will be sold or loaned to strasburg or further developed by our academy
Lifelong Chelsea fan here, this ownership are destroying the heart and soul of the club. They cannot float this incredibly idiotic strategy by selling more assets back to themselves and squeezing the academy dry. It feels like they want to exploit every loophole they can find in the premier league, whether there is any point doing so or not, the current one is the unlimited squad limit for under 21’s, the last was amortising contracts. And the ownership do not want experience in the club as no experienced footballer, manager or back room staff member would buy into this joke of a strategy. So they recruit more inexperience who will be the company men, it is like running a football club like Ford. Eventually the other 4 years of each of the amortised contracts (less than the first covered by the sale of an entire champions league winning squad) will start to bite them, no player is going to replicate the value of that squad without the minutes either, this could be a lost decade or worse, while rivals get stronger and Chelsea find more idiotic ways to accelerate their way towards a financial disaster. I am incredibly concerned about the wellbeing of my club, I feel like this is the tip of the iceberg for how bad this situation could get.
CFC fan here. Never been more embarrassed of the clubs actions than I am at this point in time. There is ZERO dopamine hit from every new signing that is announced and it’s just depressing watching all our home grown talent being pushed out the door. Chelsea finish mid table for years and then could fluke a champions league in 8 years, I thought this when Boehly first came in. I now believe Chelsea will struggle to become a contender in any competition in the next few years due to their choice of players, managers and dealing with running a large club. I would love to be proven wrong but Chelsea are not going to be the club of old that was feared by any other club in the country. Sad sad times.
The vast majority of Chelsea fans, including me, hate what we’ve become. All we want is stability. But our board just keep piling on this «strategy». It sucks, plain and simple. If we’re not among Europe’s best teams, yes I mean BEST teams in a few years, we’ll probably never see success again. It’s scary.
its crazy the amount of young talent we get yes, but we ignore the fact that these young stars are not actually at the club 50-60% of them are loaned out to our sister club strasborg in france which is where they can get minutes, or the players we buy stay at their origonal club on loan until theyre older. Our team faced the most injuries out of everyone and the only reason we didnt drop to 13-20th place was because of our depth of young players. we have "40 + players in the squad" but were looking to sell about 7, loan 10 more and the rest are youth players that can still develop in the academy. Not defending the crazy amounts of money spent but to say were not giving any of the players we buy a chance is a stretch :7
Hi Vizeh.. Chelsea fan here and I agree with a lot of the points, great video! Just want to note something small, 12:00 Malang Sarr was bought in on a free, not 16 million. 16 million was his transfer value at the time of purchase.
the thing is, Boehly and co aren't buying people, they're buying contracts which might become more valuable in the future; they don't give two shits about the people attached, and in most cases are they massively improving the kids' lives anyway, at least financially. They are gamblers and gamblers know they will take some losses. But e.g. Palmer was bought for 40 million and if he has another season like the last he'll be worth 120m. So that offsets all the Brazilian wonderkids who didn't work out. It's incredibly brutal, and really difficult for the manager because it's impossible to build much team spirit. But they don't actually care about the football, the fans, or the players, it's all about gambling with their money. The league table is just onw measure of success among many, not the be all and end all.
My dad knows the guy who rented out his apartment to Alex Matos last season when he was on loan at Huddersfield. Apparently he hasn’t paid his last few months of rent, a symptom of how Chelsea have shielded their youngsters from reality and done everything for them. Really is a mess 😂😂😂
I'm a hull city fan so I don't really know much about Chelsea, but until lampard with mount tomori etc I can't recall any Chelsea youth players being brought through for a very long time before that
As a Chelsea fan, I saw Chelsea in the title and just clicked without thinking twice. P.S- A video was needed on us badly and yes we need Victor Osimhen badly
All of Football laughed at Boehly when he first purchased Chelsea, calling him to sell and quit the business, now they hate him and his techniques of the business, I don't think he should stop his way of doing things
To think we won the ucl with mostly academy players and now struggle to make it to mid table 🥲.It is sad what the owners are doing to the club and the careers of the players as well .Majority of them will never wear a chelsea shirt for a senior game. Were not a club but a business and as you said, were more of individuals than a team. Any fan at this point would be beyond delusional to think were are actually concerned with top four or wining trophies. I just don't see this whole mess working. The management will be mad geniuses to pull this off. All we can do is watch and let time tell if this club will burn itself to the ground.
I also think that what a lot of people may overlook, and I could possibly be wrong on this aswell, even if Chelsea manage to increase the value of a lot of their signings and they have to sell them again to be compliant with FFP. I wonder if there will actually be a market for these players when the time comes? Not a lot of clubs in the world will be able to pay the transfer fees and wages that the players will be demanding.
As a football manager player for 30 years, I love buying Wonderkids but there is nothing that beats the feeling of having a wonderkid come through your own academy
Its really annoying how chelsea are ruining these youngsters potential through lack of gametime. Obviously they are going to sign for chelsea because its a lifetime opportunity, and they just have no gametime and get forgotten. I feel like even in 2 years its already the case of some players like datro fofana or caceidi
The fact Liverpool were dying to get Caicedo, Enzo, or Lavia so bad and didn’t, but yet Liverpool still kept finishing above Chelsea is actually hilarious 💀
Mirrors my thoughts on it, and I have said many of the exact same things for many months. They have just accelerated it even beyond Brighton. And while it is a legitimate strategy and pretty smart by Brighton, considering their statue and role as a feeder club, it doesn't work well for a club that recently competed at the highest level also coupled with the very high prices that they are purchasing at, and unlike under Abramovich those first teamers aren't experienced players in their prime, but some they hope will grow into top players. It took Pochettino most of the season to even get his head around what players would work, and Potter never managed it, and putting a Championship manager with 1 year of experience to administrate an even larger project is not just high risk, it is cataclysmically designed to fail. That is how mad it is. And instead of slowing down as they are doomed to sell players every season due to how much they have spent, they just go in the opposite direction and spend even more. That said, it is not the first time Chelsea will be banned for their practices and last time they also planned for it on a smaller scale getting Kovacic on a loan with option to buy and bought Pulisic in january before the ban and loaned him out so effectively they got 2 players in, while facing a ban. And as you also point out, their accelerated strategy just seem even more desperate, because they are using any excess profit they make from flipping into move investments. It may work in other corners of business but in football, it is not going to work, even if they manage to find loan deals for a large host of them. On the positive side, they will maintain a reputation where buyers can come and get a deal. There just doesn't seem to be an endplan to it, unless they are stopped. Long contracts also is a risk. It makes them more affordable due to amortisation, but it also means they can be stranded there, if they aren't successful. And then there is a club culture. On the positive side, they completely obliterated the player power of years yonder, but they are not cultivating a club culture winners and loyalists, but one of mercenaries, with no role models, when they are getting rid of people that has been there at the age of 8.
On the flip side, maybe we’ve picked up a gem in Maresca. Guardiola had 1 year coaching in Barca B, Arteta 0, Jose had a failed 3 month Benfica stint and half a year at a relegation candidate before Porto snapped him up. It’s a high risk gamble but who knows.
@@askdjmqweqwe Guardiola grew up with the Barca academy and its philosophy was ingrained and has always been. They are all going in the same direction. Chelsea aren't. A squad of 44 randomly assembled players is going to be a headache for any level of manager, much more so for someone with no experience.
@@janniknielsen9292 of course he had advantages, but neither Arteta or Mourinho did when they took on massive jobs. Maybe this guy is special. The point being we don’t know. Personally I agree it seems an impossible job right now, lots of personalities and egos, young and well paid ones too, a tough job for anyone let alone a newbie as you said. I think Poch was as good as anyone to work with the group, another great option would be Tuchel but clearly the leadership don’t want a difficult to work with manager. But we can’t write this guy off yet… even if preseason was horrrific
Todd Boehly is a true American patriot for allowing us to make massive upgrades to both national team managers, and now Pulisic is in great form again. He might possibly run Chelsea into the ground, we’ll see, but his tenure has been great for the US national team. Thanks, Todd.
As a Chelsea fan, thank fuck we didn't buy 8 managers

Tough times never last brother we gotta hang in there 😭😭
@Vizeh it was a good video apart from the mistake where you stated that we brought Sarr for 16 mill
That was his value at the time the actual amount we spent on him was nothing we got him on a free and he left on a free with us getting a tiny profit from loan fees
Hey I follow your Instagram lol
I went on twitter today & saw 2 fellow Chelsea fans tweeting damn near the same thing
"Please Give us a transfer ban"
Can't blame or disagree with them. At this point, Boehly is shoving money down the shitter.
While Boehly could be hold accountable, I think he's a symptom for the real issue here. Eghbali is the real mastermind of this clown show tbh and I said this as a Chelsea hater
i dont mind if we get a transfer ban only because of the amount of players we have as options, the only reason we did good last year during an injury crisis that wiped about 7/11 first team starters was because we had good depth and random players like palmer, and gusto came to the light
Boehly is just the pretty face of this whole scam. Behdad Eghbaly appartently has more power to make decisions. Either way, I've been a Chelsea fan since 2006, and for the love of this club I want these clowns to leave. In 2 years they have destroyed the most successful club in London (European title wise). I genuinely hope we get relegated so that they are forced to sell the club to people who actually know how to run a football club
@@MenaraImpact yea boehly has apparently been fired and will be replaced in 2027 idk if thats all true but i saw that somewhere
@@MenaraImpactBoehly in forever he isn’t going anywhere
I see this going 1 of 3 ways. 1) Either complete dominance where we constantly have the greatest team as we’ve signed these young wonder kids. 2) We end up a mid table side because anytime a player starts to get good we sell them for huge profit and the next youngster comes in - E.g if we sell Palmer in the next 2 seasons for when Estevao comes in and then repeat before the team even has a chance to compete for titles. Or 3) We go into administration.
Sounds reasonable
Im honestly shocked that you consider option 1 as a possibility
there is no way that this will happen with this clown Boehly in charge
Option two is a bit more realistic tbf Dortmund used to be trophy winners then they switched thier model to young player - profit then the next young player
Chelsea knows how to sell i gotta give them that

The players have the option of saying no to Chelsea. But they choose the security of a long contract that gives them more money than they deserve over a proper career path.
If they're dumb enough to risk their career then that is on them.
They will have careers elsewhere if they don’t make it here. These kids are excited to join our club because they know it will get them exposure to show the world what they’ve got.

Exactly vini had benzema and others… Neymar had messi and others it’s true what your saying Chelsea don’t have a clue expecting madueke to show estevao how it’s done 🤣🤣🤣🤣 disaster waiting to happen.
It’s funny watching a bad FM player who only played with top flight teams learn this lesson in real life.
Correct, there's nothing genetically better about Brazilians at football. They're good because of their development at a young age. The less development they have, the more you're essentially buying nothing.
@@Mostwantedbully Exactly, and people seem to forget that Vini's first season was a disaster (you can lookup videos of Benzema saying to his teammates that he swore Vini must be playing against them). It's the real madrid leadership structure that whipped him into a great player.

What will they do to Sanchez, Petrovich, Kepa, etc. I think Chelsea are creating artificial scarcity of gks.
A GK 5 a side team is the only thing that makes sense
Kepa is gone most likely on a free or for 20 mil

I've been saying this for a long time, and it's an opinion I stand strongly by. Many many MANY future talents are having their careers ruined simply by being at Chelsea, and that makes me really sad. This shouldn't be how you run a football club. It's clear that everything poured into Chelsea is about profits and assets. What was once a club with passion in its direction is all gone. As a Chelsea fan it's upsetting to see. The way we do not look for leaders, the way we do not look for a team. The way everyone is just a price tag and their mediocre performances aren't getting better, and won't for years. Players that could have been generational cannot go back when they've not been given the chance. It's cold and I think in years to come people will look back on it and understand just how bad this really was.
If these young players sell on for more than they were brought in for, and the club makes money off them, how exactly does that ruin their career?
@@MrMilla103 There can only be so much space in a football club for players to evolve and become better. A lot of these young players won’t get a chance to progress in their careers. It seems that you think that if you buy a young player it is a guarantee that they will be worth more when they are older. If they don’t get any chances to prove other clubs that they are good, they won’t get bought.
In sports as in life, the majority will be hurt & a tiny few will make tons of money.
Nothing new, who remembers Chelsea fifa 16, they had more than 20 players all young talents on loan, de bryne, salah, musonda and many more.
As a West Brom fan, Chelsea signed one of the best and promising academy players we had for a long time, Izzy Brown. He had just broken into the first team at 16. Then Chelsea bought him, and it destroyed his career. Such a shame.
He did it to himself, he should have seen what happened to many of those before him, he never really stepped up on any loan.
He was on loan to Brighton and suffered a horrific injury in one of his first games, got sent back to Chelsea to recover but he never really could and was never the same again, I think with Izzy it was just bad luck with injuries!
Injuries.
Didn't he retire early due to injuries?
The kid just wants money and Chelsea are the perfect club for that as they are just a bunch of mercenaries
Chelsea is doing what I did the first time I played FM
how is it possible that Chelsea can keep on spending billions while other premier league teams can't even spend 200 million, overall, I think Chelsea need a ban for 3 years from signing players because they realistically don't need any signings whatsoever and i also think that any player that joins Chelsea any further will have their career ruined because how are all of those other players even going to be able to get playtime?
Their plan is easy flips but if most their players don’t really play or just play poorly then it falls apart
@@Vizeh sadly, i don't think half of the players would ever be playing, they would probably be loaned out because it's going to be difficult for the manager to give fair playtime to most of the players. And there is a possibility that some of the players might just leave the club after 1, to seasons.
Beacuse chelsea sell a lot of their players
It's even worse outside the Premier League and the European elite.
Nobody can pay the money that Chelsea is spending on these players except a select few clubs. So if none of these rich clubs want to spend the money they won't make any profit either.
Just look at BVB, the second biggest club in Germany and a Champions League regular, that's hardly a small club but their record transfer is Ousman Dembele for 35 Million Euros, who they obviously sold on to Barca. That's less than Chelsea payed for Dewsbury Hall, Badiashile, Disasi and about the same as Madueke.
So I don't know how they make a profit on an Uguchuku or a Chukuemeka
@@Casian291 they still deserve a transfer ban imo
Someone needs to tell Todd Boehly about Panini stickers. I think he believes collecting footballers means buying them all
Bro will never appreciate the incredible thrill of Match Attax😢
They're trying too hard to bring the American sports model of rebuilding and farming players into the Premier League. This makes sense in the MLB (the league where Boehly as the most experience in), which has a closer degree of parity and where having a large deep roster is critical due to the 156 game season structure (and where having a crap season is actually beneficial due to draft lotteries), but it is very odd in a league where pro/rel is a possibility and where Chelsea have a clear financial advantage over most teams in the League.
Don't worry, they'll soon have enough players to run their own league.
Well this, and also those extra players who are being bought can’t just be sent to AAA or AA.
The Dodgers are a damn super team, but the young talent actually are playing in minor leagues. Can’t do that at Chelsea.
and that the playoffs are a literal crapshoot where the better team has had a losing record in the first round since seeding was introduced in 2001
Boehly is doing a Premier League model in L.A. and an MLB model at Chelsea
If the Premier League had a 12 team playoff Chelsea would have a real chance at winning it
If MLB had a single table then the Dodgers would be United and the Braves would be Arsenal

The thing is, this used to work really well before the uefa restrictions on loans. Because you can in theory send them all out to top flight clubs. But right now the loans are capped, I don’t know the exact number, but I do know that it gets worse every season till the cap becomes around 7 I think. Now the situation is there are around 20 amazingly talented wonderkids stagnating in the Chelsea u23. Of course they won’t forget how to play football, but keeping them in the u23 competition will hardly increase their value, maybe even the opposite. The only option would be to stack Strasbourg with young players, but I think uefa will also regulate that if Chelsea buy 10 wonderkids from Strasbourg every season.
Basically this. The whole flipping thing is just stupid. They still pay all these wages for players that don't really contribute. When they sell a player they then need to get the money they paid intially, agent fees and wages to make a profit. And then there's all the big signings like Fofana or Cucurella that will never earn them a good fee.

1 Malang Sarr was singed on a free originally
2 during a transfer ban or embargo usually you are still able to loan players out but you just can’t loan players into the club
3. The idea Chelsea bring through talent to the first team all the time which is false throughout most of the Roman era this is based off the 2019/20 window which was a freak situation due to having a transfer ban.
Some context you also didn’t mention was the fact that in the Roman era there has always been a huge squad of players young and not so young. Do people forget the 42 man loan army Chelsea had.
I agree with some of your points and disagree with some of your points but the points above are some facts that are simply wrong some not a big deal but some does contradict some of your arguments.

What big signings? Neto?
Just as slight counter-arguement, we had done this under Roman rule as well with the signing of young players, in fact the whole reason we had a transfer ban in first place in 19/20 was because we illegally signed some young players.
You make solid point where might have been bought for too much money (i agree), but as for lack of minutes, the players will get solid miniutes at other clubs e.g. Strabsburg one of feeder clubs, as we speak BlueCo (owner's of chelsea) are still scoping to buy another feeder club. In addition, the squad dynamic of the whole penalty situation at Everton has been already resolved by Enzo Marseca, the only reason why it happened was because Poch didn't stamp his authority onto the squad, you can probably go online find a quote saying that "he wanted the players to manage themselves" this created the 'toxic' narrative reported by the media. But Jackson, Madueke and Palmer all express their friendship online and even after the penatly situation.
Madueke made sure to bring Jackson over and sort out the situation and everyone moved on.
I don't deny that we 'lack experience' but i also have disagree that we void of it, they plenty of experienced players e.g. Nkunku (26), Tosin (27), Sterling (29) for example and we also experienced in terms of players who know chelsea e.g. Chiwell (+5 years at the club), Reece James (+10 years at the club), Colwill (+10 years at the club). In addition, they are also players taking up a leadership role in terms of the group like Cole Palmer.
This season will difficult but i also don't believe it will be outwrite awful.
Also @Faysal makes a good points in his own video
Problem is the rules have changed since then (and will continue to change) regarding loans reducing to 6 players over the age of 21 who don’t meet the home grown rules. A lot of the players you sign meet the U21 cap but won’t be at the club long enough before they turn 21 to meet the home grown rules.
So realistically they are only going to have 1-2 years on loan to either prove good enough or you are going to have a excess of players you can’t loan and haven’t yet developed enough that either need to sit in your U23s or be sold.
If it pays off you have some bargains. If it doesn’t the club has bought a bunch of anvils.
it's not a new strategy for top clubs, Chelsea and City have played the hoard wonderkids game for a while and it works to a degree, you stop rivals getting them, they become potential first teamers or you sell abroad for profit with a sell on fee and buy back - issue is Chelsea are doing it at an irresponsible level it seems and also not building a competent first team or any stability in the backroom staff - even if the buying young kids and selling them on aspect works, it doesn't resolve the lack of a plan with the first team :/ I'm confused by the whole thing - is it just some massive money laundering scam?
The Feeder club won’t help with the signed players because they still count for loans unfortunately.
Personally I think you’re being a bit optimistic with the leadership group and compared to Chelsea 04/05 with winners like Makelele, Carvalho, Ferreira and Geremi around the club, or the recent City or Liverpool 1st turn titles, there’s a real dearth of winners or older heads in the dressing room. Maybe some can grow into it like Terry, Lampard, Drogba and Cech did but we’re seeing a squad completely dearth of experience at the moment that was only really tried by Arsenal in the late 0s and saw a number of failures.
I think we have reasons to be optimistic, theres a good chance we can get top 4 (hopefully pre season doesn't count for anything…) but this squad does look dangerously unbalanced and bloated

I love Career mode xD
Let me be honest here.. What Chelsea is doing can be seen as a strategy in 2 ways:
1. Trading players. If you see Chelsea raised 145M from the sales with another 100M expected (35M Lukaku, 30M Chalobah, then Carney, Sterling, Kepa, Petrovic, Matos, Broja, Datro Fofana, Angelo (who has interest from Spain)) and with 264M (amortization cost is 55M) per year. With may be Chilwell or Badiashile or Madueke or Ugochekwu or Santos may leave next season so it is not a problem. So just to do the accounting, you have 90M loss from last year and almost 200M profit this year minus 55M amortization so you are well off. Consider also all the big wages (if Lukaku and Kepa this year and Sterling and Chilwell next year leave will move away)
Also it is about getting more and see who works well. The ones who shine, stay and the one who cant move. Look at Malo Gusto, Carney, Cucurella, Caicedo, Ugochuckwu, Palmer or Lavia. If one of them becomes a 100M player again then we have massive gains at our hands and already a player at the club.
For example if Sterling leaves for 25-30M (first of all he will be in profit in the books, second 325K per week will be off the books, third we will have Neto as his replacement or even Esteavo Willian or Palmer or Paez can play on right alongside Mudryk - who is on 80K per week) and image the cycle repeats, if Willian becomes a star or Palmer is sold if Paez, Willain or Neto shines then we have another profit. So thats how it will become sustainable. Similarly if Badiashile is sold we have Ishi Smith bought for 4M or Anselmino for 16M as replacement.
2. This may also be long term strategy as once we go for Stadium rebuild with PSR enforced, it will be difficult to sign anyone next 4 years. So with a constant line of players we will be sorted for sometime
Financially Chelsea will be fine. It's a good business model selling and buying so many players but we're yet to see how it translates to on the field success. It's difficult for the manager and for the team to be consistent when you bring in 10 players and sell another 10 every summer
@@domagojkovacic4182 see us like 2015 Liverpool or 2019 Arsenal. It will take 5 years. Things will take time to settle and patience needed.
The buy cheap, sell high strategy only works if the players you are buying
.. are actually cheap.
No clue how Maresca is working with a team this large. There’s over 40 players, almost the roster size of an NFL team in America. The players will all be out for themselves fighting to be noticed and get minutes in the first 11, which will be precious like gold. They probably can’t all fit in the main dressing room right now, let alone develop some form of cohesion amongst themselves. It will definitely be interesting to see how they can pull this off.
Half of them will probably go on loan somewhere. He probably has like 20-25 guys he's actually planning on using.
about 20 of those players will go on loan/be sold
At this point they could just say that the manager got injured and sign another manager to avoid sacking the current manager 😂
😊
"The manager got injured, he can no longer manage"
"How did he get injured?"
"He broke his kneecaps"
Someone explain to Todd Bohely that football is an 11 player sport
It’s also very frustrating knowing our main problem is our striker, yet we refuse to address it
Haven’t had a proppa number 9 since Diego Costa.
How on earth is that the main problem loool
im sure they'll bring in 6 before the window shuts
Not gonna lie, Estevão William looks like a very, very special player.
i think felix said it very well, the owners said from the start that this is a 4 window plan and apart from the first season i do see what they are trying to do, sign all these young players, amortise their fee, sell them 3-4 years later for more due to inflation and their value going up and keep the gems like estavao paez mec palmer etc. issue i have is we’ve plunged ourselves so deep into the rabbit hole of youth to the point that our very little amount of seniority such as sterling and chilwell are simply not top 4 quality or aren’t performing to that standard. maresca said in a conference that the selling of academy talents isn’t a chelsea issue it’s a football issue as they are forced to sell basically, and the board value reece and levi as world class talents while chalobah and gallagher aren’t and so aren’t good enough to keep,
but how can you expect for the youngsters we buy such as datro fofana, angelo, wiley, washington, richards, kellymen etc to perform when there are millions on people in front of them yk? wiley is obvi meant to be a maatsen / hall replacement but then we send him to strasbourg, mec is a long term gallagher but he’s 15/16 so we have to wait several years for him to get into the squad, paez and estevao in my opinion are exceptional talents even neymar sings the praise of estevao but we have palmer madueke neto nkunku jackson mudryk sterling angelo etc all blocking their way into the team, to sum all this up i do see the plan and i follow it, just feels like the owners have done 10+ transfer windows worth of work in 4 and so it gives maresca an impossible job
issue with that is, they are human beings not commodities, young players need to be nurtured and developed. Abramovic and co had a similar way of doing things and in fact most top clubs do it to varying degrees - you buy up top talent in the 16-21 age bracket who you can either use in the future or sell for profit and stop rivals getting them (we've all played FM right?). But at the same time you have a competent manager and experienced squad with mix of ages, a clear philosophy and stable backroom staff otherwise what's the point cos your first team performs poorly.
also amortising their fee is all well and good if you believe in the investment and you're happy to be stuck paying it for the full term regardless of how they turn out - say NUFC right now are restricted by FFP but they know they have a growing revenue and rich owners so they amortise a deal cos they are happy to pay it in the future and be impatient - whether you sell the player or not, you still have to pay the full fee so if you sell half way through the contract, you will lose a big chunk of the fee because you still owe the previous club. it's not a foolproof plan, it's a gamble and last season it didn't pay off and they're now stuck with a few stinkers, they've not learnt though it seems
Trophies increase the value of a club more so than flipping players for transfer fees.
Chelsea became one of the most valuable clubs in the world after winning silverware, not buying kids and making a 10 million profit off them.
This is why I don't understand why Boehly and co. are going down this route? The formula was already there for them, but they've adopted one that will not work for a club like Chelsea.
@@StuTheDon17 I think they do plan to win things. If you see Boehly’s other sports teams they win a bunch of trophies. This is as much about business as sport for them. We have to have faith in the visions they’re bringing (what other fucking option do we have?).
Many people said when Abramovic came it couldn’t work because of the Galácticos and that’s not how to build a team and everyone had to smoke it. Maybe this is the next evolution of football.
How would their value go up when they not showing any signs in top flight
Been following and watching your content since you were living in Newcastle (feels like a lifetime ago) and it brings me joy and pride to see how your content has evolved after FIFA. Love these kind of videos and hope you continue doing them man.
Just how bad are the thirty-odd that don't get picked when Badiashile and Mudryck do.
Certified banger video due to the title alone 🔥🔥🔥
As an American who has an idea of the owners, Felix pretty much nailed majority of it, but there’s more. We’re keeping elite talent from the academy, such as Colwill, Reece James, Tyrique George, Achempong, and much more. But the talent that Chelsea don’t see as elite are all going out the door. As for signings, Boehly has completely stepped away and reports from some stateside journalists suggest Egbahli makes most of the decisions on transfers. They want to build and develop a young team to be dominant when they become older, with the depth that Real Madrid have. Problem is, we haven’t got any senior players to help integrate these newcomers into the squad to teach them the ‘Cobham’ way. Some of these guys will be sold for just profit due to a lot of shady dealings from Roman and the past board. But in general, the ‘plan’ is to develop these major talents into world beaters, sell the worse of the bunch, and have a team of elite talent to win the league in 3-4 years time. The owners current aim is just Champions League football unfortunately, but they still expect FA cup and European trophies
Feels like they're playing FM and just scouting players based on the media description. If you know you know 😂
As a chelsea fan i cant believe we bought all these players and not one single CB with experience like Silva to offload some defensive of that experience 😢
Pls give us another transfer ban I'm scared of what's happening to my club
We have the same problem here in Canada with youth teams in top flight, and even our highest divisions, League One and CPL. the squads load themselves with 40+ players and it just causes disasters everywhere. Talented players being left behind, forgotten and then left to fight for a spot by being over selfish, causing all sorts of horrible chemistry and dynamics with squads
As a Chelsea fan I would like to say why I think we are in this situation and what the general idea behind the FM/career mode running behind the club post Roman. In short it’s down to four main things.
1. (As mentioned in the vid) a “proactive” approach to the potential transfer ban/ points deduction from activities from the Roman era leading to the frantic buying of youth prospects like a FM save, in order to have new players even under a restrictions using loopholes like how Roman did to get pulisic and sign Kovasic permanently in 2019.
2. PSR shenanigans you also briefly mentioned that in the vid but what I’m referring to is the business we’ve had with Villa with the Maatsen and Kellyman deals with the overvaluation of Kellyman signing him for £20 million (20 times his market value according to transfermarkt) but this is less so a Chelsea problem and more so a “PSR threatened clubs” problem as similar deals have happened with Everton, Newcastle and Villa this summer alone (a trend I expect to continue until regulatory bodies get involved) which has lead to some odd transfers like Kellyman to occur.
3. Multi club networks, a point that wasn’t in the video was the Chelsea owners aims to build a multi club network with the prior purchase of Strasbourg in 2023 and the links of the owners with clubs in Argentina and Portugal within the past year probably explain why Chelsea are buying youngsters to flip as they are not expected to play for Chelsea but are expected to go on loan or sold to clubs within the network as Strasbourg has demonstrated with andrey santos, Wiley and angelino leading me to conclude that the Chelsea youth project is a failed/underdeveloped multi club network with signings basically at the wrong club due to the small size of the network.
4. Preparing for a new stadium, it has been a main goal and struggle for Chelsea almost since the club’s founding to do something to expand or rebuild Stamford Bridge with the club on numerous occasions almost going bust on multiple occasions in the 80’s and 90’s over the issue (also being the reason we where sold go £1 to Bates). But where this is relevant to Clearlake is in one of its mission statements when they first bought the club in 2022 and being one of the pre conditions the Roman had for any suitors for the club was to rebuild the stadium like spurs or to expand like Liverpool did with Anfield. However, the problem with this is the extraordinary financial cost to building anything in London let alone a football stadium near central London. The effect it has on transfers is that it leads to the reasoning that if we spend money on high potential players now we don’t have to when the time comes to move ground, avoid the problem Arsenal and spurs had when they got their new stadiums, leading to those clubs going quiet in the transfer market the year their stadiums opened (spurs summer 2018 comes to mind). Also for the youth players we do flip, the profit made from these FM signings would be used to elevate the cost of the new stadium during and after construction, well that’s the idea I infer from it.
In conclusion, I do think there is a reason behind the madness for the medium to long term as there is greater challenges ahead for Chelsea. However, where the idea falls flat on its face is the lack of coordination with Strasbourg and the lack of clubs within blueco’s multiclub model which trails behind other models like the city and red bull groups respectively leading to a situation where we have nfl rosters instead of a cohesive squad.
TLDR; Clearlake are not the new Ridsdale, their multiclub network is too small and the club is expecting a major setback soon that prevents them from signing anyone (new stadium or embargo). But that’s just my unqualified take on my clubs situation.
P.s Great vid and keep up the great work.
Also now în Conference League there are 2 teams that won their country Cup While being în the 2nd division, Corvinul Hunedoara in Romania and Wisla Krakovia in Poland
I would like to think Roman is looking at this now and thinking "what the fuck is Todd doing with my club?"
@@ultrainstinctshaggy669 also gonna kick eghbali and co right off the bat anyways since they are the real clowns of the show
Despite how bleak it looks the players can be used in uecl games to give them a role. Players like madueke, mudryk, and badiashille could be sold in future for profits. All they need is an experienced leader in defence to give solidity and chemistry in the squad to solve there current issues.
The problem with players like Mudryk is to show a profit, he really needs to become the new Ronaldo or Salah. The fee was so high that we’re almost guaranteed to lose on him.
He’s 23 and Wenger said that some players take off at 23, that’s the special age. So fingers crossed
As a Chelsea fan all I can say is this is all Putin's fault😭
It's all on Putin...😂
Yes, Putin really forced you guys to spend over a billion at gunpoint 😂😂😂
Todays result soothing the pearl clutching i hope. Enzo knows what hes doing at least
I found out so hilarious the fact that I found out Penders as an exciting prospect on my Valencia career mode, and the 2 days later, he signed for Chelsea 😂😂😂
The plan: 6th place finish
Can they loan us a striker? I'm sure they'll love Brest !
Brest is nice
@@Vizeh Nice is Marseille
@@bassmindopekukjata Marseille is Toulouse
I completely agree with you Vizeh ( As a chelsea fan ) I am very concerned and dislike that we are constantly signing players mainly for FFF and for not giving our youth academy players a chance the foundation that chelsea fc is built around
7 KEEPERS???!!! most times usually have 3-4 keepers.
It's realistically 3 but people want to be misleading
It makes sense that Chelsea would poach Brighton, they’re contesting the 9th position in the table that Chelsea love so much
As a Chelsea fan, there a 3 possibilities, we either dominate football with these youngesters and have a dynasty (incredibly low), we stay midtable as we keep doing this buy and play for a couple years before selling, or we are gonna be under investigation in a few years time for like 400 charges. There is going to be nothing inbetween
Or just have a 25 man squad with talent and don't buy so many players thats how you become a dynasty like Man City.
agree mate, im so worried whats gonna happen in a few years..
Chelsea out here playing longterm FM lmao
even on FM this would be OTT and a recipe for disaster
The "Chelsea Loan Farm" has been basically been a thing since the early 2010s
Kinda surprised by how much shock there is about how they afford this etc (now the questions over how intelligent and successful are definitely valid and needed)
We all know football manager, watching a few players devalue each season because you can't give them enough minutes or their loan move to Macclesfield is working
Chelsea have 30 players currently devaluing
From Chelsea Football team to Chelsea Footballers Industry ✅
Now it's safe to say Putin hurt the Chelsea's fans more than the Ukrainians.
Thing is a decent transfer window (if you're not playing a video game) is 3 outfielders + 1 GK, maybe you can get away with 4 or 5, youth signings are OK as long as you don't try and force them into the senior squad straight away, but seriously any more than I said and you risk destroying team chemistry
I can’t imagine being a Chelsea fan with the multiple players that were Chelsea fans being sold to sign no names, I really feel for them
Reece James is the last piece of Chelsea's soul left there.
its really not that bad all the talks are that we have 40 players but about 15 of those will be sold or loaned to strasburg or further developed by our academy
@@lockaskhamonezhad676 you can only loan so much players out, near sure 6 is the limit
@@lockaskhamonezhad676 They don't want to hear all that
Still a Chelsea fan but it's more for the laughs now, gave up caring after Tuchel left
Lifelong Chelsea fan here, this ownership are destroying the heart and soul of the club. They cannot float this incredibly idiotic strategy by selling more assets back to themselves and squeezing the academy dry. It feels like they want to exploit every loophole they can find in the premier league, whether there is any point doing so or not, the current one is the unlimited squad limit for under 21’s, the last was amortising contracts. And the ownership do not want experience in the club as no experienced footballer, manager or back room staff member would buy into this joke of a strategy.
So they recruit more inexperience who will be the company men, it is like running a football club like Ford. Eventually the other 4 years of each of the amortised contracts (less than the first covered by the sale of an entire champions league winning squad) will start to bite them, no player is going to replicate the value of that squad without the minutes either, this could be a lost decade or worse, while rivals get stronger and Chelsea find more idiotic ways to accelerate their way towards a financial disaster.
I am incredibly concerned about the wellbeing of my club, I feel like this is the tip of the iceberg for how bad this situation could get.
CFC fan here. Never been more embarrassed of the clubs actions than I am at this point in time. There is ZERO dopamine hit from every new signing that is announced and it’s just depressing watching all our home grown talent being pushed out the door. Chelsea finish mid table for years and then could fluke a champions league in 8 years, I thought this when Boehly first came in. I now believe Chelsea will struggle to become a contender in any competition in the next few years due to their choice of players, managers and dealing with running a large club. I would love to be proven wrong but Chelsea are not going to be the club of old that was feared by any other club in the country. Sad sad times.
The vast majority of Chelsea fans, including me, hate what we’ve become. All we want is stability. But our board just keep piling on this «strategy». It sucks, plain and simple.
If we’re not among Europe’s best teams, yes I mean BEST teams in a few years, we’ll probably never see success again. It’s scary.
you gloryhunt a top 6 club, all of you are like if jeff bezos had fans who celebrating everytime he bought a new airplane, what a sad life
@@Oshikno-oo5hp🤡
@@Oshikno-oo5hpok bud
its crazy the amount of young talent we get yes, but we ignore the fact that these young stars are not actually at the club 50-60% of them are loaned out to our sister club strasborg in france which is where they can get minutes, or the players we buy stay at their origonal club on loan until theyre older. Our team faced the most injuries out of everyone and the only reason we didnt drop to 13-20th place was because of our depth of young players. we have "40 + players in the squad" but were looking to sell about 7, loan 10 more and the rest are youth players that can still develop in the academy. Not defending the crazy amounts of money spent but to say were not giving any of the players we buy a chance is a stretch :7
home cooked meal and new video 🤓🤓 could not be better
My boy❤
Hi Vizeh.. Chelsea fan here and I agree with a lot of the points, great video! Just want to note something small, 12:00 Malang Sarr was bought in on a free, not 16 million. 16 million was his transfer value at the time of purchase.
Some money laundering is going on with this amount tbh
the thing is, Boehly and co aren't buying people, they're buying contracts which might become more valuable in the future; they don't give two shits about the people attached, and in most cases are they massively improving the kids' lives anyway, at least financially. They are gamblers and gamblers know they will take some losses. But e.g. Palmer was bought for 40 million and if he has another season like the last he'll be worth 120m. So that offsets all the Brazilian wonderkids who didn't work out. It's incredibly brutal, and really difficult for the manager because it's impossible to build much team spirit. But they don't actually care about the football, the fans, or the players, it's all about gambling with their money. The league table is just onw measure of success among many, not the be all and end all.
My dad knows the guy who rented out his apartment to Alex Matos last season when he was on loan at Huddersfield. Apparently he hasn’t paid his last few months of rent, a symptom of how Chelsea have shielded their youngsters from reality and done everything for them. Really is a mess 😂😂😂
I'm a hull city fan so I don't really know much about Chelsea, but until lampard with mount tomori etc I can't recall any Chelsea youth players being brought through for a very long time before that
As a Chelsea fan, I saw Chelsea in the title and just clicked without thinking twice.
P.S- A video was needed on us badly and yes we need Victor Osimhen badly
I don’t think Osimhen will change Chelsea sadly
@@Vizeh we need a proper goal scoring number 9 tho, tbh it's quite ridiculous that we haven't signed one even after spending a billion lol
😊
Osimhen isn’t better then Jackson btw
You need a new keeper, a whole new back 4, a whole new midfield and some decent wingers as well.
I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Slight correction though, Malang Sarr was signed on a free transfer
All of Football laughed at Boehly when he first purchased Chelsea, calling him to sell and quit the business, now they hate him and his techniques of the business, I don't think he should stop his way of doing things
To think we won the ucl with mostly academy players and now struggle to make it to mid table 🥲.It is sad what the owners are doing to the club and the careers of the players as well .Majority of them will never wear a chelsea shirt for a senior game. Were not a club but a business and as you said, were more of individuals than a team. Any fan at this point would be beyond delusional to think were are actually concerned with top four or wining trophies. I just don't see this whole mess working. The management will be mad geniuses to pull this off. All we can do is watch and let time tell if this club will burn itself to the ground.
I also think that what a lot of people may overlook, and I could possibly be wrong on this aswell, even if Chelsea manage to increase the value of a lot of their signings and they have to sell them again to be compliant with FFP. I wonder if there will actually be a market for these players when the time comes? Not a lot of clubs in the world will be able to pay the transfer fees and wages that the players will be demanding.
As a football manager player for 30 years, I love buying Wonderkids but there is nothing that beats the feeling of having a wonderkid come through your own academy
Just a small correction, Malang Sarr was bought as a free agent.
But as a Chelsea fan I resonate with everything you said.
Its really annoying how chelsea are ruining these youngsters potential through lack of gametime.
Obviously they are going to sign for chelsea because its a lifetime opportunity, and they just have no gametime and get forgotten. I feel like even in 2 years its already the case of some players like datro fofana or caceidi
The fact Liverpool were dying to get Caicedo, Enzo, or Lavia so bad and didn’t, but yet Liverpool still kept finishing above Chelsea is actually hilarious 💀
Mirrors my thoughts on it, and I have said many of the exact same things for many months. They have just accelerated it even beyond Brighton. And while it is a legitimate strategy and pretty smart by Brighton, considering their statue and role as a feeder club, it doesn't work well for a club that recently competed at the highest level also coupled with the very high prices that they are purchasing at, and unlike under Abramovich those first teamers aren't experienced players in their prime, but some they hope will grow into top players. It took Pochettino most of the season to even get his head around what players would work, and Potter never managed it, and putting a Championship manager with 1 year of experience to administrate an even larger project is not just high risk, it is cataclysmically designed to fail. That is how mad it is. And instead of slowing down as they are doomed to sell players every season due to how much they have spent, they just go in the opposite direction and spend even more.
That said, it is not the first time Chelsea will be banned for their practices and last time they also planned for it on a smaller scale getting Kovacic on a loan with option to buy and bought Pulisic in january before the ban and loaned him out so effectively they got 2 players in, while facing a ban. And as you also point out, their accelerated strategy just seem even more desperate, because they are using any excess profit they make from flipping into move investments. It may work in other corners of business but in football, it is not going to work, even if they manage to find loan deals for a large host of them. On the positive side, they will maintain a reputation where buyers can come and get a deal. There just doesn't seem to be an endplan to it, unless they are stopped.
Long contracts also is a risk. It makes them more affordable due to amortisation, but it also means they can be stranded there, if they aren't successful.
And then there is a club culture. On the positive side, they completely obliterated the player power of years yonder, but they are not cultivating a club culture winners and loyalists, but one of mercenaries, with no role models, when they are getting rid of people that has been there at the age of 8.
On the flip side, maybe we’ve picked up a gem in Maresca. Guardiola had 1 year coaching in Barca B, Arteta 0, Jose had a failed 3 month Benfica stint and half a year at a relegation candidate before Porto snapped him up. It’s a high risk gamble but who knows.
@@askdjmqweqwe Guardiola grew up with the Barca academy and its philosophy was ingrained and has always been. They are all going in the same direction. Chelsea aren't.
A squad of 44 randomly assembled players is going to be a headache for any level of manager, much more so for someone with no experience.
@@janniknielsen9292 of course he had advantages, but neither Arteta or Mourinho did when they took on massive jobs. Maybe this guy is special. The point being we don’t know.
Personally I agree it seems an impossible job right now, lots of personalities and egos, young and well paid ones too, a tough job for anyone let alone a newbie as you said. I think Poch was as good as anyone to work with the group, another great option would be Tuchel but clearly the leadership don’t want a difficult to work with manager.
But we can’t write this guy off yet… even if preseason was horrrific
I’m also a Burnley fan, and how did u feel about the Luton win. Did you think we were really good, Luton were awful or both
in 5 years chelsea is either going to be unstoppable in the premier league or unstoppable in league two. terrifyingly risky plan.
As a milan fan I love it. They don’t give them a chance and we end up with them shining. Tomori, RLC, and Pulisic have all balled out
Todd Boehly is a true American patriot for allowing us to make massive upgrades to both national team managers, and now Pulisic is in great form again.
He might possibly run Chelsea into the ground, we’ll see, but his tenure has been great for the US national team. Thanks, Todd.
