What’s the point of signing Sarr and then loaning him out?




as said above, also it's just good business. you either get a stater/squad player for free or sell him on for nothing but profit if it doesnt work out.

chelsea have to the close the income cap/FFP gap with the other top clubs through player sales. hence the loan army. sponsorships, matchday revenue, and regular UCL havent kept the pace.

The inflated transfer market lends even more credence to the loan army model. We broke the world record transfer fee on Nando not so very long ago. Now that sum is closer to bargain basement pricing in the current market. Teams can’t pay 100M plus for every starter, they have to supplement with youth development and shrewd transfer dealings based more on future promise than immediate return. The fact that frank has the stones to prioritize this (albeit helped somewhat by the transfer ban) especially at a club like Chelsea, will ultimately strengthen the side. Sarri was trying to get to the next season, whereas frank is trying to get to the next decade. I think he just might.
