Sigh. I’m not happy with those numbers. Unless we decided to go full Italian and spread it out over 20 years, I think this is an overpay even disregarding the fact that Chelsea need to sell.
Yeah I hope Kai doesn’t suffer the Pepe effect where the price tag hangs over him like a dark cloud.
I mean, isn’t this pricetag lower than what Chelsea bought him for?
True, but I think it’s still more than expected given his time at Chelsea. Hopefully we’ll get a similar proportion back when we come to sell Pepe…
I’ve been trying to be less of a pessimist recently, but… we won’t. We’ll be lucky to see 20M for him. His wages are just ridiculous for a) the clubs that might take a chance on him and b) his skill level.
I think the difference with Pepe was he very clearly couldn’t get a look in before he went out on loan. Kai has been played by all 34 managers who were at that shit show of a club the last year
Yeah, by 5M, but I’m more than a little irked that that logic never seems to come into play when we’re trying to sell players.
The market, particularly within the EPL, is insane these days. Boely and Co splashing the cash hasn’t helped either.
I blame Abramovich. That bastard distorted an entire league just so people would hate him a little less.
