Good business, sell a guy for £55m then buy him back for £30m, buy a good LB with the left over money

 

How much did they originally buy him for?

 

Not sure, think it was around the £30m mark.

 

It is. We've been doing it wrong for years by buying high and selling low.

 

Some quoted west brom willing to shove 20mil at us but we aint interested. Ive no idea of its veracity

 

21mil was written on sky sports so they paid 50mil in total for him and sold him for same.

 

Pretty much breaking even then

 

Thought it was more than that, but the same thing stands, in effect they have got Near enough a free LB

 

Plus a LB (if my figures are right).

 

No they spent 21. Sold for 50 bought again for 30..

Thats a net spend of a mil.... so no they didnt get anything out of him really. Over his chelsea career hes basically cost 1mil plus wages.

The rich sods dont care anyway.

 

They could have cut out the middle man (Luiz) and just bought a LB

 

Until they sell him next summer for £83m

 

We do need a cb according to all on here so i suppose we can finance their james rodriguez bid.

I think we need to pay more though

 

Nope, they spent £21m (if you are right) and sold for £50m. They then rebought for £30m so now they have the same player plus £20m profit which they have put towards a LB (plus they have saved 2 years of Dave's wages)

 

Pre-transfers (£0; running total)
Spent £21m (-£21m)
Sold for £50m (+£29m)
Re-bought for £30m (-£1m)

 

Nope, they still have the same player plus a good LB, total cost £26m. Good business in todays market

 

Bloody hope you're not an accountant mate...

 

Apart from the sold him 3 years ago and have spent money since so doesn't really work out like that.

At the time was crazy business selling for that money, psg weren't feeling right at the time so fair play Chelsea selling so high. He's not worth £30m now though so still overpaying for him.

 

So you're ignoring the initial cost of £21m?

 

Nope.
