One, you have to for financial reasons, but two, you could end up in a better position.

Whatever anybody says about Chelsea and and what's happened since then, your ownership took over.

All that trading appears to have led them to a point that they've got a really strong and exciting squad this season.

Exciting.

And I think that's the way things have to

And by and large are going and those that aren't doing it so well are seeing the sort of detrimental effect of it as opposed to the advantages.

This was another trend that was replicated with, say, Bradley Barkala, PSG in Liverpool, is that the selling club, especially for top players, are setting such high valuations and and the buying club is naturally as always trying to get the lowest deal.

And in most cases you're seeing the player wants to make the move.

Now that didn't happen with, say, Vinitius Junior in the end.

He he decided to stay.

But but with Enzo and Barclay you did.

And what it leads to, and it this links directly to what we were just saying about ownership level engagement, there's a lot of ego at play here.

There's no sort of quarter ar still given.

Nobody wants to lose in this little battle.

And so Manchester City always wanted Enzo Fernandez as almost like the pick of Enzo Moresca, having moved himself from Chelsea to Manchester City.

But that brings in some politics of its own because

Yeah.

Because Enzo Moresca's departure from Chelsea was acrimonious.

And so nobody was going to want to blink in in that little tussle.

In and amongst the valuation gap, which would have been vast, you know, even in the days coming up to the deadline, I understand Manchester City had offered £104 million plus add ons.
