Chelsea have probably bitten at the ridiculous fee, nothing more. It will balance the books for FFP. I think it was reported they were in a bit of a sticky situation, going forward that is.

With the losses we reported recently, around £15m don't count towards meeting FFP as it was spent on youth development (Yeah yeah, I know, what development) training facility improvements and Chelsea football schools around the world. That apparently puts us below whatever the initial figure for losses are. You have to remember that the new TV deal dosh isn't counted til the end of this season. That plus £30m a year off Adidas from this season helps massively. As you say, the fee is probably the reason. Especially for someone who's essentially, and I hate to say it, just a squad player currently.

I don't doubt that Russ. I just can't see him going there. The tarts are legal though so you can never say never...
