    Moises Caicedo

    21 year old Ecuadorian footballer played 45 Premier League games and scored 2 goals is valued at around twice that of founder Football League member West Bromwich Albion.

    Makes me want to weep for football in general and my club in particular!

    Hi , football finance makes no sense to reality.
    We spent £45m on Grant ,Diagana ,Zohore and Dike and our club is now worth only £60m tops .
    The likes of Bournemouth with gates of 10k can outspend us , they cheated the system like Southampton Leicester and wolves and villa were close the breaching the rules to gain promotion .
    We knew the day when the parachute money could stop , for the last 20years why didn't we put a bit each season towards this.
    Poor house keeping.

    He will probably turn out to be THE biggest waste of money of all time, I actually hope so, I would love to see Chelsea squad that much money!

    Seems a long time since we broke the record buying David Mills for £516,000 .We can't even pay that now.

    We weren’t moaning when we were breaking the U.K. transfer record though were we! 🤷*♀️

    At the end of the day Ketts he won’t be such a waste of money compared to Zohorse - Dike - Grady and Grant. What did Brighton pay for him? That’s outstanding business!

    Sadly what did we pay for these four which the clubs must be having a right old laugh!
    That’s business that warrants sectioning!

    I think the big mistake here was believing that money was the solution.
    Investing in scouting was always the preferred way of football clubs. The soul of football was bought and sold along time ago.

    I think its great to see clubs like Brighton and Southampton holding the big clubs to ransom, but how are Chelsea allowed to pay for their new players over 9 years?

    This is why there’s absolutely no point in being upset over scores in matches. If we won every match this season and got promoted how long would the joy last? 5 minutes. It’s pathetic.
