Hey guys! I'm an FC Barcelona fan, but I'd like to start watching the Premier League. I'm a bit torn on which club to follow, so I want PL fans to convince me why I should support theirs. Feel free to bring up legacy, trophies, iconic moments, whatever makes your club worth following. Let's get this going!
There's a lot of discussion about how Chelsea can continue spending so much in the transfer market, so I built a spreadsheet tracking every transfer under BlueCo (along with the major inherited players they sold).
It's kind of crazy - our cash flow on some deals isn't great, but our accounting is solid - we rarely lose a deal even the Lukaku disasters and such.
For each player I included:
The goal is to show the difference between cash spent and accounting impact. A player sold at a cash loss can still generate an accounting profit if most of their transfer fee has already been amortized. Likewise, academy sales are almost entirely accounting profit because they have little or no transfer cost on the books.
This is not a full PSR or UEFA financial model. It does not include wages, agent fees, signing bonuses, loan fees, operating income, or other club finances. It's simply a transfer accounting model using publicly reported fees and contract lengths.
I did my best to use reported figures and contract details, but some fees, add-ons, and extension accounting aren't fully public. If you spot anything that's incorrect, or have a better source for a fee or contract length, feel free to comment or DM me and I'll update it.

I ordered Bayern Munich 24/25 home jersey from football monk on last week of May. After more than a month of constant emails for asking the update they sent me this 25/26 home kit that too wrong size. Again had to ask for a replacement or refund but did not get any updates for like a month. After like 20+ emails they agreed to replace it as they don't have stock of the original order (24/25 kit). So they gave an option for replacement (I returned the wrongly sent product)and I selected a Liverpool kit which they agreed to dispatch after 2 days. But now they are saying even that is not available. I have been ordering jerseys online for years now and never had this kind of disappointing service.
I request you guys please Don't order anything from Football monk as they either don't have it stock or they are just scamming. The main issue is they don't have a proper customer support,no whatsapp number. When you email them they just create a ticket and don't take any action. Their website shows all the retros available but in reality this is just fraud!
Also I have complained to national customer support but didn't get any resolution from them as well!
For me its wolves
This news might have been slept on after the world cup final but really happy to see such a big star staying in championship and being loyal to our Club. Hopefully we can repay his loyalty and bounce back next season ⚒️⚒️
What makes you trust one football jersey seller over another?
I've been looking into the football jersey market for the past few weeks and it's been more interesting than I expected. Spoke to a few sellers, compared different stores, looked into suppliers, and now I'm seriously considering starting one myself.
Before I jump in though, I wanted to hear from people who actually buy jerseys.
1.What makes you trust one seller over another?
2.Is there something you wish every seller did better?
3.Do real product photos matter to you or are catalogue photos enough?
If a brand-new store popped up tomorrow, what would make you give it a chance?
I'm also curious if there's anything that instantly puts you off when you're shopping for jerseys online.
If there are any wholesalers or suppliers here who think they have something worth offering, feel free to DM me.
One more thing—I'm still trying to decide on a name. If I end up picking one suggested in the comments, I'll send that person a free jersey once the store launches.
Signed for €40m, which is a very decent fee.
