I wonder what kind of offer they're offering to these players. If they don't have a guarantee of playing time, is money the only thing that push them to sign with Chelsea? Is it long contract? I'm surprised the club can do this without any significant impact to their financial situation. I read somewhere that they're using a loophole to achieve this since their profits are really high, which makes the fair play regulation etc feels inadequate to address a situation where a club can buy as many players as they can because they have a high profit. CMIIW.

Anyway, Liverpool has yet to sign a player, while it is very likely that there will be new outgoings in the last few days of the transfer window. Gomez seems likely to go out, though I wonder how would they prepare a backup defender if he does go.
