    Sigh. I’m not happy with those numbers. Unless we decided to go full Italian and spread it out over 20 years, I think this is an overpay even disregarding the fact that Chelsea need to sell.

      The market, particularly within the EPL, is insane these days. Boely and Co splashing the cash hasn’t helped either.

      Yeah I hope Kai doesn’t suffer the Pepe effect where the price tag hangs over him like a dark cloud.

          True, but I think it’s still more than expected given his time at Chelsea. Hopefully we’ll get a similar proportion back when we come to sell Pepe…

            I’ve been trying to be less of a pessimist recently, but… we won’t. We’ll be lucky to see 20M for him. His wages are just ridiculous for a) the clubs that might take a chance on him and b) his skill level.
