Caicedo was sold for more (£100m) than the Amex cost to build (£93m). Crikey!

Sky reporting the deal is worth £115m which is a £111.5m profit on the buying price. Chelsea getting away with the FFP by spreading the cost of the transfer over a 10 year period apparently according to the BBC.

I think its £100m + £15m add on's, albeit I saw it reported that the £15m 'add on's' are pretty much a given in this case. I thought the whole FFP long contract loophole had been closed? Edit - ah my mistake... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12406001/Premier-League-CLOSE-Financial-Fair-Play-loophole-Chelsea-accounting-rules-UEFA.html

Neymar to Al-Hilal, christ.
I can't help but think the Saudi teams are going to buy their way into the CL in the very near future, which is depressing as fuck but money talks.

But where’s the kudos for any players playing there. It’s exhibition stuff with meaningless results.

Something like that.
To be fair, as shit as this feels, it's basically just what the Premier League has been doing to every other league for donkeys years. Just financed by even more awful people.

But the PL is at least paid for, largely, by us mugs paying for Sky etc. Who is actually watching the Saudi league. Where’s the interest? Maybe it’ll morph into something more mainstream over time but even the PL is wearing a bit thin I reckon.

It was for a while, but not sure we can say that Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle etc. is Sky money, that's Petrochemical/Nation State plaything stuff. Even Blackburn was Jack Walker spending all his dosh, just a nicer, more 90s version.

Sports washing at nation level for sure. But I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds watching Man City tedious. That’ll spread throughout the PL eventually. I wish the so called big 6 had fucked off to the Super League.

I see that, had some really bad injury issues recently, sounds a bit like when we signed Zeki Fryers, obviously classy if you keep him fit...but thats gonna be difficult.
