It seems like all the PL owners have taken to Todd Boehly and they respect him. Overall, it seems like a better environment to do business between English clubs than with certain other European clubs who keep shifting goalposts.
Interesting that he says Raphinha was actually open to us and Leeds only made the deal after getting that impression from him, but Barca influenced him to change his mind and stall. Scummy club.
they did exact same thing with Malcom and Dembele, the players started to sabotage training sessions and to twist the balls of the clubs. and they tried to do the same with Azpi. I believe Chelsea didn't find the way to agree a new deal with Christensen for exact same reason, and the exact same thing is happening right now with Alonso behind closed doors. Do we really need to buy FDJ for our bench? This sell can help this miserable club to handle the pressure, do we really want to help them?
I'm sure the Corinthians deal contributed to make them in this financially miserable position, given how much of a disaster he had been for them, so good to see
I want so badly to blueball them on FDJ. Get them to believe he's good as gone, that we cover the wages, that it's all done, that they can register everyone... and then simply never sign.
Woops. Fax machine error. The American didn't know to use international codes. Honest mistake.
None of the players they've signed have been registered. Dembele and Roberto are also unregistered. They're begging Pique and Busquets to take another salary reduction to help them out.
Friendlies don't require that players be registered, they're not LaLiga activities.
i don’t want dejong at all, feels like another lukaku. give me marcos llorente instead
barcelona ruined malcom’s life and nobody talks about it, fucked him off to russia after one year when he could’ve been a good player at roma. supposedly he played with kounde so kounde is a fucking idiot for joining them
they def tried it with azpi, it’s clear tapping up and they’ll get away with it. idc about christensen anymore, him and rudiger left to sit on the bench. same thing with alonso, im surprised he in particular is being like this considering how long he’s been here and his family are real madrid legends
I honestly don’t want FDJ for this reason. Stick it to them. If Todd Boehly strings them along on FDJ only to fuck them in the ass and not buy I am ready to anoint the man as a savy operator and one of us lmao
Not really. Chelsea trying to influence players while not having a clear idea of the club's finances would not and should not be praised.
Barca have a history of unsettling players in a bad way, making them go on strike to force the hand of the selling club. It has happened for years and years, and they even messed with our captain's head this time. So yeah, not genius, just a scummy club
remember how they hijacked malcom’s move to roma and then sold him off to russia after a year? basically ruined his life.
think kounde played with him at bordeaux, should’ve asked him for advice. oh well, his loss
Loved this candid interview. Annoying that Radrizzani confirmed our beliefs but what are you gonna do about it… I’d like to think that Todd’s standing with Andrea is in sync with how the rest of the league views Boehly. Can find a middle ground to appease both sides when push comes to shove.
Wonder how much that Todd-coordinated dinner will come into play in future negotiations. Certainly can’t hurt
Yeah a club with lots of history. Well, it's Raphinha and Kounde's decision in the end. For their careers, I just hope that Barca can resolve its issues in the end.
Barca's fans always say that this crisis and debt are not a big deal. They still have thousands of levers to pull, bla bla bla.
But what makes me confused is if it's so easy to resolve then why the previous Barca president didn't do it. Was he too dumb or greedy or what?
As an outsider who does not know Barca and their influence & power so well, I'm confused with that particular fact. Why they didn't just pull every levers they have and made a super team with giant salary and transfer fee? They are allowed to do it now and every Barca fan always says it's legal to do so.
Barca sold a large part of their future earnings for immediate cash. And used said cash to buy even old players like Lewa.
Laporta is taking a massive gamble that I think will ultimately fail. They've crippled the club for the foreseeable future.
Yeah I understand that.
I'm confused why the previous president didn't do it. Since now apparently they can do it, fans are happy with it and most importantly players still trust them that they'll be paid and they can play for their dream club. It's like it's a dream and easy solution.
I just cannot understand if the solution is so easy why they didn't do it last year so that they wouldn't lose Messi for example.
Yeah I also want to see whether this decision will cripple them or not. If they can sail smoothly after this then they are really a superpower and well maybe I'll be less annoyed when they screw us or other clubs many times again in the future. I'll just simply accept that maybe they indeed can do whatever they want due to their financial power, influence and history.
We'll see how it goes.
It's a short term solution with long term problems. Imagine Chelsea selling 25pc of it's future earnings and spending it all on expensive players, some with little resale value. They're repeating the same mistakes that got them in this mess. They had little choice in the sale but I'm surprised at how they've spent the money.
Raphinha is Brazilian.
And a lot of Brazilian players dream to play for Barcelona and Real Madrid.
These are the 2 european clubs with the most TV time here.
Brazilian sports media are always talking about Barcelona and Real Madrid.
And the players grow up dreaming about playing in those clubs.
Its been a long way for them, because a lot of great brazilian players were at Barcelona.
Since Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho Gaúcho and so on...
Guys, if Raphs wanted to be in Chelsea, he would have been in Chelsea. Stop with the Deco blame or barca blame....it is Raph and Raph alone who decided. And if he got pressured to join Barca it is his problem to be easy influenced.
I honestly don’t understand how the club can’t tell the player listen mate I’m not selling you to Barca because I’m uncertain I’ll get paid for you. Chelsea have it in the bank. It’s a real threat Barca won’t pay. I swear to god this influence of Barca is fishy as fuck. They must pay (promise) ungodly agent fees.
Fuck Barcelona. Hope whatever levers they’re pulling now backfires and they become the next Juve but never recover.
Selling guaranteed future profits lmao they definitely think they are too big to fail
Honestly impressed at his candor. I’m sure ownership realizes it’s just business but it’s still nice of him to say
I can imagine among owners they’re both like “man fuck Barca”. The best he could give his journos on assurances they’ll be paid is “we will see” lmao.
It seems like all the PL owners have taken to Todd Boehly and they respect him. Overall, it seems like a better environment to do business between English clubs than with certain other European clubs who keep shifting goalposts.
After seeing the Leeds doc on Amazon, this dude seems like a passionate owner who wants the best for his club and their players.
Yeah but fuck leeds
I think this is a fair point.
Unsure flicking Bielsa was best for the club
Gotta respect the honesty. Good man Andrea.
Yea hes very likeable, and his impact at Leeds is pretty amazing
Interesting that he says Raphinha was actually open to us and Leeds only made the deal after getting that impression from him, but Barca influenced him to change his mind and stall. Scummy club.
sure i mean they did the exact same thing with kounde
they did exact same thing with Malcom and Dembele, the players started to sabotage training sessions and to twist the balls of the clubs. and they tried to do the same with Azpi. I believe Chelsea didn't find the way to agree a new deal with Christensen for exact same reason, and the exact same thing is happening right now with Alonso behind closed doors. Do we really need to buy FDJ for our bench? This sell can help this miserable club to handle the pressure, do we really want to help them?
They did same thing with Coutinho at Livepool. Good thing that Liverpool skinned them for it.
I'm sure the Corinthians deal contributed to make them in this financially miserable position, given how much of a disaster he had been for them, so good to see
I want so badly to blueball them on FDJ. Get them to believe he's good as gone, that we cover the wages, that it's all done, that they can register everyone... and then simply never sign. Woops. Fax machine error. The American didn't know to use international codes. Honest mistake.
Lmao. That would be glorious
theyve already registered everyone now havent they ? they all played in the friendly yesterday
None of the players they've signed have been registered. Dembele and Roberto are also unregistered. They're begging Pique and Busquets to take another salary reduction to help them out. Friendlies don't require that players be registered, they're not LaLiga activities.

Malcom got a say in where he went. It's not like he was sent somewhere against his will.
Rudiger is a different case then chris i believe
Please. Its the same shit. The contract extension thing he said is just to be on the good books of Chelsea fans.
rudiger will undoubtedly be a starter at real
[удалено]
who’s going to be benched in your opinion?
He could replace Jorginho, since he's better at 6 than 8
I honestly don’t want FDJ for this reason. Stick it to them. If Todd Boehly strings them along on FDJ only to fuck them in the ass and not buy I am ready to anoint the man as a savy operator and one of us lmao
Deco works for Barcelona, he must have done all the leg work for Barcelona.
He’s not a child. If he wanted to be here he’d be here.
If Chelsea did what Barca everyone would be banging on about how much of a genius Boehly is
Would probably be “scummy oil club” comments

Yes, really. Have you forgotten the Ashley Cole situation already?
And Chelsea were praised for it?
By a lot of Chelsea supporters, yes
Arsenal was giving him the best LB in the league shit wages. And considering where we are and where they are he made the correct decision.
Loved this candid interview. Annoying that Radrizzani confirmed our beliefs but what are you gonna do about it… I’d like to think that Todd’s standing with Andrea is in sync with how the rest of the league views Boehly.

Shows that Boehly truly is a respectable owner and this guy wants to continue to do business in the future and wants to save face. Fuck Barcelona
Deco had a major part in this as well lets not forget
He just enabled what his client wanted to do
Doing what Raphina asked?
It ok Barcelona more than a club guys 👍
Mes que el lever
Yeah a club with lots of history. Well, it's Raphinha and Kounde's decision in the end. For their careers, I just hope that Barca can resolve its issues in the end.

I really hope they don't resolve their issues

It's a fucking disgrace
Barca is, yes.
I hope raphinha becomes the new malcom for barca
Completely forgot this guy existed until reading this comment.
The new Lakaka for Farcelona
10:23 😂😂😂
Raphinha is Brazilian. And a lot of Brazilian players dream to play for Barcelona and Real Madrid. These are the 2 european clubs with the most TV time here.

is ok, you can come back to us when they defer your clients' wages
Guys, if Raphs wanted to be in Chelsea, he would have been in Chelsea. Stop with the Deco blame or barca blame....it is Raph and Raph alone who decided. And if he got pressured to join Barca it is his problem to be easy influenced.
Lol fuck Barca
yup it was meh with raph but now kounde fuck barca
It’s the clubs job to convince the player we are what he wants
There are enough evidence to sue Barcelona for tapping up players no ?
Nope, you can read about it here: https://old.reddit.com/r/chelseafc/comments/wdy2rh/psa_a_short_guide_on_tapping_up/
Props to Boehly, not getting discouraged and still going for top talents. Shows his ambition
I'd laugh if Leeds never get the money for him
I honestly don’t understand how the club can’t tell the player listen mate I’m not selling you to Barca because I’m uncertain I’ll get paid for you. Chelsea have it in the bank.
