Just Azpillicueta alone would put you into negative figures if you included transfer fees in the account, even when you amortise his contract. Even when they're on 5 year contracts, the sheer amount you spent will make it significant.
This summers spending shouldn't effect the figures that much as they are being paid over the remainder of their contracts.
Call me it all you want. Some people just cant handle the truth

Money is/will ruin football

The same money that like mike said has been around for 30 years? It's rising because of the popularity of the sport.
But like i say them fees are being spread around the remainder of the contracts. With this years sponsorship money, merchandise, ticket sales and competition money i believe that will be greater than the amount we have to pay out for the lads contracts in a single year if you get my drift lol.
It's not as big a step as the club is trying to make out, but its still a very good one. Of course mega signings will undo all that work. But then Chelsea don't need to do that if they play it smart. A solid CL run will effectively pay for a good player, and then there is Llorente...
In the long run you are hampered by Stamford Bridge though, there is only so much you can do without a bigger stadium.
Leaving on a free isn't he? If so imagine the amount of clubs who will try prize him away in the summer!
Exactly, and i'd be very surprised if Chelsea were not at the head of the queue. Offload Lampard's wages for example, and suddenly its very difficult for teams to compete with Chelsea.
Not to mention Cole's wages too Mike...seems both him and Lampard are out this summer. Also just saw Chelsea being linked wig Wilfried Bony. Anybody know about him?

Cole I personally would keep, while Bertrand gets better and better. Then in a few years look for cover/competition for Bertrand. Lampard can take much lower wages or leave.
Should keep hold of Lampard for another 2 seasons. He can still score 10-15 goals per season from center mid. Cant remember the last time Mikel or Ramires did that. And is a great guy to have around the dressing room. Giving Luiz another 5 year contract is madness and Cahill isent world class. After Chelsea get 2 world class center backs they are a force to be reconed with

1) You don't replace Lampard. Simple as that. He's been an icon for us, but he has to go. We have Hazard, Oscar, and the most brilliant, skillful and creative player since Zola - Mata. Those 3 are absolutely capable of providing assists and scoring goals for us.
2) Cahill? He's been immense for us so far, and at the moment, I rate him above Luiz, and in my opinion, very few centre backs can actually be called world class apart from Thiago Silva and maybe Kompany. Cahill is one of the best in the league, if not world class.
I like Gary. A lot.
So the bottom line is, you are wasting your time writing nonsensical ****, and that's probably the last time I'm wasting my time replying to you.
