I for one would love if Boehly and Co. were doing the same for us. It’s absolutely annoying since it’s at the benefit of Chelsea, but I am not ashamed to say I am Uber-envious.
Not sure if overpaying for every shiny young player and putting them on 7 and 8 year deals when you already have an overstuffed squad is the best business plan tbh.

But it's Chelsea so it'll work out just fine. ****s.

Lol, the "strategic plan" of buying everyone.
Their strategic plan is to get into a position of strength by leveraging future spend. They then buy future talents. Right now all of this spend is being amortised over 7 years. Whilst it allows big spend now, it reduces your spend in the future. Also, if these players flop, it's going to be a nightmare to get them off the wage bill.

The strategy is fucked of they fail to compete.

Isn't anything above 5 years a Club option (from reports I've heard)? If that's the case when and if they have to sell one of the players on these ridiculous contracts can't they just not exercise the option to keep the cost down? (the opposite of Brighton with Trossard)

Yeah, I laughed at that as well. 'You don't accept our initial bid? Okay, we'll offer double then!'
The polar opposite to DL " You don't accept our initial bid? Okay, we'll offer 10% less, but we will pay in weekly installments of butter vouchers"
