Would Klopps tenure at Dortmund be described as "special"outwith media talking up Klopp? I would say so. It was good. Proabbly a great time for Dortmund fans, but I dont think we seen something special unfolding then if you use Jose at Porto for context.

Given the eye watering amounts they've spent, is there a case for this Chelsea side being pound for pound, the worst in #Barclays history ?

Jamie Carragher - “all the best coaches do something special at a lower level first. I’m thinking of Jose at Porto, and Jurgen at Borussia Dortmund”. 

Peak #barclays from an utter gobshite. 

These are the same people that will tell you with a straight face that Ronaldo was better than Messi because Messi didnt prove himself in the #Barclays.

I always wonder if they all actual think its as superior as they say, or if they get encouraged or coached on how to promote the league. Its actually incredibly impressive how on brand *fucking everyone* associated with the #Barclays is. Almost without fail.

You can tell by Cole Palmer's face that he has a single-digit IQ.

Single digit IQ and a seven digit bank balance for kicking a ball about for a bit. 

Whose the real idiots?

Was curious about this so did a pound for pound comparison of the current Chelsea team against the 2007/08 Derby team (fees from transfermarkt).

Chelsea
Total cost of squad (min 5 apps) = £730m
Points (interpolated for 38 games) = 54pts
Cost per point = £13.5m

Derby
Total cost of squad = £70.5m (adjusted for inflation)
Points (interpolated for 38 games) = 11pts
Cost per point = £6.4m

There will be worse teams in terms of costs to points ratio, but in conclusion, this Chelsea team are pound for pound more than twice as shite as the worst team in Barclays history.

Palace strike me as a club who, when they’re next relegated, won’t be back for a very long time. Like Forest or Leeds when they went down.

What measure of inflation are you using  there?

Normal inflation has been about 50% since then but inflation in the transfer market has been far bigger

It's hard to measure precisely but 

Chelsea broke the the UK transfer record  back then with £30.8m for Andriy Shevchenko from Milan to Chelsea.
When they broke it again last year the paid £106m for Enzo Fernández

Based on this: Premier League Transfer Inflation - The Short Fuse (sbnation.com)

No idea if its accurate, but couldnt be arsed doing my own analysis of real inflation on transfer fees.

I got to call this Chelsea side really shite, so I got what I wanted out of the 20 mins I spent looking at it.
