Nizaar Kinsella reporting that Chelsea spent £328m on improving the squad and made £519m worth of players sales (with loan fees) which is a global world record.
That's a net profit of £120m while retaining the sixth most valuable squad in the world.
The club hint at reinvestment in transfer windows to come having had a window that improves their financial picture whilst engineering a better squad for Xabi Alonso.
Many of the loan fees are undisclosed but known to be sizeable in some cases.
Quite astonishing figures and revolving doors and once again putting the "blown billions" theory in the proverbial bin.
Well done Blue. co.

Unfortunately, Greeny, a couple of injuries and we'll have Jordan Henderson starting games of football.

Very interesting Kaz that both you and our old friend Standard both call me Greeny? I think you have been found out but in all honesty it doesn't matter as it is just a name and all that counts is the wonderful banter on this page thanks to our ED's. Peace bro.

K, do we know if the Maresca fee is included in the £519m.
It would appear we have now slipped to 6th in the nett spend table over the last ten years. I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. Even the spuds have a net spend figure bigger than ours over that period.

Not sure, Tom, but either way, remarkable amounts of profit made, and it makes me laugh how some pundits, and indeed punters, like to use words like "blown billions" when, in fact, it is actually a case of turning a profit on many, if not most, of the purchases.
