That must be the 54th player they have out on loan now
Vitesse are going to be a real force next season with this new signing.

Chelsea have spent £60mill on Pulisic and loaned him back. No wonder we haven't found any value in the market![]()
In other words Rabiot's wage demands just dropped by another £10k a week...De Jong looks like another one to scratch off the list he's apparently agreed terms with barca

They won't get a transfer ban they are one of the darlings of the league same as man city financial fair play doesn't seem to affect themThey're ****ting themselves about a transfer ban this summer, having bought more foreign children than all of Hollywood. That and the imminent departure of Hazard means that they need to do business now. We should be doing something similar regarding central midfielders.

Pulisic is a good young player but could be a big risk if they’re signing him as a potential Hazard replacement.
It’s looking similar to the Morata deal.
Morata - never was a regular starter at Juve/ Real, signed for £70m to replace a world class striker in Costa.
Pulisic - not a regular starter at Dortmund, signed for £58m to likely replace a world class winger in Hazard.
Risky business.
I might be unreasonable here but don't you think it's about time that a law was brought in stopping clubs like Chelsea stockpiling all of Europe's elite youngsters and not actually playing them.

So does that mean they have to sell about 40 odd players they have on loan or retain them at Chelsea and have a squad of 100 odd players for next season?This is FFP 2.0. It's already enacted and should come into effect this summer. It's rumoured to limit outgoing loans to 6 (maybe 8) per club. Nothing coming from UEFA is easily understood.
There is debate whether it applies to foreign players only or includes domestic players, in which case Chelsea will just steal more youth prospects from English clubs...well, more than they do already.

I suppose a lot of it comes down to what wages their youngsters are on some of them are probably happy getting extortionate amounts of money for their age and don't care where they play.one deal for example was a wycombe youngster Jordan Ibe he was only 16 when he broke into the first team scored a worldy goal and then Liverpool signed him bought his mum and dad a house and him a new car and he was too young to drive ffsThink there’s two ways of looking at it, mate.
It’s clear Chelsea have an obsession of stockpiling young talent to likely prevent others from getting them and turning them into top class players but then at the same time, if a young player is dumb enough to join them, knowing full well chances have been limited for young players at Chelsea for over a decade now, then quite frankly more fool the player for joining them.
