Jai is right about players from certain countries mentality as playing for your club is a 'job' playing for your country is an honour and the pinnacle of their career.
Seem to remember Si writing last summer that the club had set an asking price of £50m for madueke. Seemed high at the time but, given that he's since been capped by England, we should probably be looking for that
It hard to know the exact amortization amount for players because there are so many accounting tricks the team could do, but for Madueke I am fairly certain his remaining book value is something around £19m. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea sell him this summer for £30m - £40m.
You guys said you thought Andrey Santos would/could start for Chelsea. Maybe, but with everyone healthy that means he starts over Enzo or Caicedo. Or they switch to a 5-3-3.
I don't think Santos will be an automatic starter next season but he will get a ton of playing time. Maybe even just as much as Enzo and Caicedo. Just not starting every game.
Yeah good points on Noni, would get decent profit tbh.
On Santos I think our point was more that he’s good enough to start for Chelsea right now but taking away the competition factor. More about his ability really.

I agree with Jai that Eze is terrific. But Mark Dwyer made a good point that we need a winger who scores goals.
This is not enough from a player who would cost a fortune from Palace

I can't remember that but yeah I'd say around that.

Fair points.
But 5-3-3?
Sounds awesome! Boehly tweaking the rules in our favour?
LOL. Brain fart, but I blame Boehly for getting in my head.
