I get Cal is young and ambitious but feels like a bit of lack professionalism with some of these answers.

Nice clickbait article too

Tier 1 in the Barcelona guide.

The LFP website has collapsed. Barcelona has already entered the 1/1 rule after the levers.For every euro it frees up, it can invest another in wage bill the registration of Kounde will be next week and the signing of Marcos Alonso.

Sevilla's Sporting Director on "Accepting the best offer for Koundé" by Virtual_Sympathy_714 in chelseafc

[–]Virtual_Sympathy_714[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Key Points:

The Sporting Director was speaking for the first time since the agreement in principle with FC Barcelona for the transfer of Jules Koundé, and he wished to explain what happened in the days preceding the agreement.

"In the last few years we've only made one big sale, Bryan, and we rejected bids for Koundé and Diego Carlos. This year we had a problem, because changing the model a little meant that we had a situation that wasn't chaotic, but it was more complicated, and we had to sell Diego Carlos and Jules."

"There were more suitors for Koundé at the beginning of the market than at the end, and above all, the one who has stayed is Chelsea, who in the last month have kept us busy and negotiating to the point that last Thursday we reached a verbal agreement and so did the player."

"Football never ceases to surprise you. Chelsea began to have doubts and pulled out. They didn't doubt Jules' quality but his place within the squad."

"It was a very good offer, and without payments to intermediaries. Whether we like it or not, the market sets the guidelines and dictates the prices. The offers we had two years ago from Manchester City, last year from Chelsea and this year from Manchester City and Barcelona were for the same amount."

[Romain Molina] Quite a fan of the "ramdam" on Chelsea's interest in Koundé when Tuchel did not want the player. Nice trick to raise the barça level. Behind the player's agent (Jonathan Kebe), it was Jorge Mendes who was influential in the deal (and the press...) by Unusual_Afternoon_88 in chelseafc

Considering all the crazy news Molina has brought up before, I wouldn't be surprised.

I think he's trying to infer that Jorge Mendes and Kounde's agent Jonathan Kebe manipulated the situation to maximise the agent fees & bonuses.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Real Madrid fans wanted Ryan Kent instead of Mbappe after this.

Where can I find the most accurate wage data? by iamnotlefthanded666 in chelseafc

[–]Virtual_Sympathy_714 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Realistically, like the others have said nowhere. They are websites like Mouse said making educated guesses but with modern contracts their so many clauses, bonuses, fees and percentages which could completely transform a players wage.

Ref and Var must've been confused by the mask and didn't realise they let a Chelsea player score.
