Now that the dust has settled it’s interesting to take a bit of a deeper look at Chelsea’s crazy January window, and that’s exactly what Tifo have done.
They explain the “loopholes” that have theoretically allowed us to spend so much, and the strategy behind the spending.
We don’t want to celebrate too much – such was the spending and the contracts handed out that it could be a long time before we really know whether this was all a good idea or not – but it’s interesting to see the plan explained clearly.
You can see the mini documentary in the clip embedded here:
This is the story of how Chelsea took advantage of loopholes, spent £290m and broke the transfer market in January 2023.
