Hudson-Odoi

12 Premier League games career total

100,000 pounds a week.

Football has lost the plot.

Roman Abramovich earns £58m per week. 58m divided by £100,000 = 580

So, if you divide your weekly earnings by 580, you can appreciate how little Hudson-Odoi's wages effect Mr. Abramovich.

Basically it is the equivalent of me paying around £1.30

Absolutely nothing to do with paying a 18yo who's played 12 league games £100K a week and you know it. Those wages will become a hurdle for him.

The biggest hurdle to him, was not playing enough games. He has forced Chelsea's hand with all of the Bayern-transfer talk, and now he has been pushed into the first team. So he has done pretty well for himself there.

The £100,000 per week 'negative-effect' is a complete assumption. There are plenty of examples of youngsters being paid crazy money and still playing well. Raheem Sterling for example.

And Chelsea had no choice. if they didn't tie him down, they would have lost a player who is widely regarded as the hottest property in English football, and if that had happened, the fans would have been furious.

I do like Klopp, but he pays a world record fee for a defender and a world record fee for a goalkeeper. No City signing is in the top 20 most expensive players, so...
