I think they can sell but not buy eg Hazard

[Irishnev]

I thought they had a transfer ban?

I think they are allowed to make pre existing deals permanent I.e. he was on loan with an agreed purchase price hence they can sign him

Well how can they buy Kovacic then?

It would kick in as the original deal for Kovacic was from i think last season and which probably included loan deal and permanent deal not as a new deal.

Too late as always Bender

[Alex]

Its not a transfer ban, its a ban on registering new players I think. So yeah, as Bender said.

[The_weatherman]

Was he good or are they buying him because they can't buy anyone else and can't lose anymore players?

[Alex]

I thought Kovacic looked pretty crap too be honest.

[Maxiedge]

£50m oh my gosh. Daylight robbery

Maybe chelsea forced into the deal because of the tranny ban, limited options.

[The_weatherman]

He was actually the only player they can sign this summer. So that's their window wrapped up.

[danperkins]

He has been proper ****

[Fosterbloke]

lol Kovacic is a donkey and they have Drinkwater...

I predict a 5th place finish next season.
