Jonjo Shelvey has signed for Nottingham Forest - Hard to believe he ever played for us these days, kind of forget about him as a Academy player compared to Gomez etc.

Especially as he made his debut at the end of the 07/08 season - 15 years ago!
Forest, even without Andy Scott, have still done a bewildering amount of business in this window. Felipe becomes their 27th signing since last summer! I don't think that includes Shelvey either.
Chelsea have just bought a player that went for 10 million 6 months ago for 110 million. They have spent 600 million in this window. They could have bought West Ham for less.
I know there are different ways to get around FFP but how in gods name can the powers that be think Chelsea's spending is within acceptable and sustainable limits. Absolute farce

In the eyes of FFP it is legal though, which is why FIFA are supposedly changing the rules so fees can only be spread over a maximum of 5 years to prevent it happening again.
It's actually pretty smart from Chelsea, FFP has been in place for a while yet no club has done anything like this. Todd Boehly comes in and has outsmarted everyone in just 6 months.
Mudryk 85m and Fernandez 105m. Yet because of 8.5 year contracts to both players in the eyes of FFP it's only costing them 22m per year.

All true. I guess it gives us all yet another reason to hope Chelsea crash and burn. If these two players now underperform and turn out to be a waste of money (at least relatively), that’d be a good start.

It might "cheat" the rules, but if those long contract players flop, Chelsea will be stuck with them for years paying their wages
And if there are break clauses, will UEFA come back to them and say "You exercised a break clause for Player X after 4 years, therefore for FFP calculation purposes we're spreading the transfer fee over 4 years"?
I see Leicestet's owners being generous to the club again. They have just written off a debit of £190 million the club owed them. That is what good billionaire owners do.

Jorginho to Arsenal .. very odd signing .. a non dynamic player to supplement a vey quick and dynamic midfield
Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve signed him just to play in the Europa League so they can keep Partey rested for the PL. Great business if it works out and they win the prem.

Something our 3 billionaires can look forward to if we’re successful.
investment 1. the action or process of investing money for profit.

Just seen an article about this transfer window. The prem have spent £818 million on players more than the combined spend of the top 4 European leagues. A French football correspondent has painted the picture of the 4 top European leagues as feeder leagues for the prem. Which explains why the prem spent nothing in the EFL this time around no trickle down there.

Match day squad >£600m with likes of kovatic, kante, felix zakaria on top of that annual wage bill £215m Actually not so smart imo

I think they decided they needed an overhaul, took advantage of the rules whilst they could, now they have some great young players so they won't need to buy as many players in future.
Mudryk, Fofana, Fernandez are all 22 Badiashile 21 Madueke 20 Andrey Santos 18
Add those to the young players they already have, Reece James, Cucurella, Mount, Gallagher, Havertz etc and their squad is 90% set for the next few years.
As Gary said though, it's incredible they don't have a proper striker.

Or they've bought the top table equivalent of Lavelle, Kirk, DJ, McGrandles etc. And are stuck with their wages...
Would spurs fans want to lose tomorrow imagine arsenal win the league by a point and you’ve contributed to that . I’d want us to lose in same position , self sacrifice…

Blimey, I'm not even sure Spurs have done that in 10 years lol.

Shouldn't be playing now.
Forest sign free agent Andre Ayew. They were down to their last 35 players
