Good luck squeezing them out on outrageous wages like theirs. Who else is going to give them that and then if that's the case, why would they leave?

I assume he means that if a player is out on loan their wages don't count which is correct, but their contract amortisation would still count because of course it would.

I agree, if we're lucky itd be a loan with us paying a portion.

He's sitting pretty. Guaranteed 325k / week for another 3 years.
You might need to let him go for nothing to get him off the books.

Not sure not playing is sitting pretty for any professional footballer, I think he'd rather go out on loan somewhere TBH.

Judging by Sterling's camps statement he has a bit more motivation than Winston to play haha.

Honestly don't mind Chelsea hoarding players. You've basically financed my club through overpaying for Kante, Drinkwater, Chilwell, Fofana, KDH and probably some others. Man U helped with the Maguire transfer too.
Second highest wage bill in the PL supposedly….
Chelsea wage bill rises to second highest in the Premier League
The Blues finished 12th in the Premier League last term but their salary costs have risen by 18 per cent to £404m.

Obviously you can't overpay for Kante. That whole group of players was paid overs for in total thoughOverpaying… for Kante?

No doubt our wage bill is big(not sure I believe the second biggest but it'd be easily top 4 or 5), this is why the wage structure is happening. To bring it under control.Second highest wage bill in the PL supposedly….

They would have to, otherwise you'd write off all the expenses of a signing by loaning someone out, and then get all of the profit when you sell them.
Doesn't make any sense.

When it comes down to it, there's a fair correlation between wages and success. I'm a bit sceptical that the Chelsea wage bill will come down significantly, but if it does it will be interesting to see if they can overcome that correlation.

Absolutely understand Sterling wanting clarification when it looks like more than a few are being run out of the club.
Could just pick up the phone though, or ask his agent to ask the club in private.
I don't think anyone will pay a fee for him so if he goes permanently Chelsea will have to take a loss on the books. Even loaning him out will cost them around £10m a season in amortisation costs. Plus whatever wages they cover.
But if I was Steeling, at his age and point in career I'd refuse a loan and demand a sale.

Hmm I get the Chelsea PR machine is in overdrive given some of the ridiculous things that are happening around the club. This stuff just doesn’t add up though. The current ownership may purport to try and bring the wage bill under the control, they’re also the ones who have chosen to spend the astronomical fees that have placed the club in its current position.
Was sent this last week. I know transfermarkt is not the be all end all, however still. Damn some of those fees paid….

While I think transfer market figures are a bit shit, we've certainly overpaid for players. No doubt there.
