It’s peanuts to Roman.. The guy is Clearly flexing his muscles knowing that Uefa are impotent and highly unlikely to challenge him now he has an Israeli passport. Chelsea are now free to do as they please like the gulf owned clubs.
Also they have made around £170 million odd in sales recently - they are spending now to make up for a few leaner seasons in the market - all due to Roman becoming persona non grata over here.. that is over.

Yes and look at what happens when you go out and buy the best.. The reality is though - it would have been much harder for us to bag Virgil and Alisson had Chelsea been free like they are now to spend.
Etiam si omnes, ego non
£170 million plus they made... but did buy Kovacic last summer . £40 million I think
Incoming summer 2020
Timo Werner (RB Leipzig) - £50million
Ben Chilwell (Leicester City) - £50million
Hakim Ziyech (Ajax) - £37million
Thiago Silva (Paris Saint-Germain) - Free
Malang Sarr (Nice) - Free
Kai Havertz (Bayer Leverkusen) - £90million (incoming)
Outgoing since 2014
Eden Hazard - £100million
Diego Costa - £60million
Oscar - £54million
Alvaro Morata - £50million
Nemanja Matic _ £40million
Thibaut Courtois - £30million
Other high-fee departures such as Alvaro Morata , Thibaut Courtois , Diego Costa, Nemanja Matic and Oscar have allowed the Blues more freedom to operate in the transfer market.
Chelsea were also affected by their transfer ban presented to UEFA, which only allowed them to sign loanee Mateo Kovacic for £40million last summer.

Think it was muted? On the cards.. not sure. Roman was on the cusp of having assets seized by the UK. Totally lost interest in Football. Remember I live less than a mile from the Chelsea training ground at Stoke D’Abernon. It has been the talk of the town since before 2018 summer window even
But does show that both us and City have been aided by a handicapped Chelsea.
