Yes but people typically omit the euro symbol, like the poster above did, which confuses matters. Sometimes people just add the pound sign to the euro figure because the 121 figure has been used so much without it's correct currency sign that a growing number of people think Chelsea paid £121m for Enzo Fernandez.
I can't imagine what this would have been in 2000 Greek drachme, corrected for inflation.
Or 2009 Zimbabwean dollars.
Listen pal, we're having a serious conversation here, don't come in here with your made up currencies
He costs 40,408,211.92 Kuwaiti Dinars, which sounds a lot less impressive.
I can't believe that Enzo did the Kessel run in 1 parsec.
Why are fans so insecure about the fees, you see it on this place ALL the time, they will try downplay any fee payed and somehow this club ends up with the highest outplay on transfers in the past decade.
You’ve spent over a hundred mill on a player, why does it matter if it’s a 107m or 121m? The fee is obscene regardless.
Correcting people is insecure now? Surely using accurate information should be encouraged as much as possible?
Or 2999 Courics. Mind boggling.
£143m? That's fair.
I agree with you but I'm saying there's this insane need to downplay what the teams spend. We're already in the obscene unsustainable territory for transfer spending.
Considering that sounds like Kuwaiti dinners it sounds very impressive.
If this guy goes back to Chelsea the odds of him getting nailed in “training” will be quite something. The PL proper won’t be pleasant for him either.
What a headache for the Chelsea higher ups.

As someone who was born in England in the 1980s to Irish parents, the abuse and discrimination the Irish suffered was horrendous. “No blacks, no Irish, no dogs” as well as comments about being IRA terrorists and threats to be burnt out of our home at night if we didn’t leave. It played a large part in dad moving us all back to Ireland and leaving a good job behind.Not racist either?
Come on you know that mocking people for being African is simply not the same as mocking someone from being Irish. The levels of actual discrimination and abuse people get are completely different.
I’ve returned many times for weekends and to watch United home and away, and while it’s not as in your face as it use to be, I still get plenty “thick paddy” or jokes about the potato famine, as well as IRA comments by people who hear my accent. So I wouldn’t be as quick to say mocking someone for being Irish isn’t on the same level. When you’ve suffered it, it doesn’t feel like it’s any different to any other type of discrimination or hatred.
I apologies if I’m misinterpreted your comment in any way, but as you can tell it’s something that’s very close to to bone with me
More bad news for Enzo.
Top talent but it seems hes let it get to his head, shame. If he kept quiet and worked hard he would be a complete player but it seems like he's the wrong character off the field. I rated Enzo very highly but his stock has dropped.
He's a £40-50m player now at best.
Driving though a red light is bad but I'm more curious to know what the feck he was doing in Llanelli.
Have to be honest, this is exactly what I took from that story too. Can we have a sit down interview purely about that?
Always the possibility he wasn’t driving and he’d allowed someone else to use his car. Hence not responding to the request to provide driver details.
Chelsea could probably do with the points on his licence.
You want us being even further ahead of you?
Where is the Enzo racism thread gone?
The Argentina players racism thread is in the current events section.
Well played
Why... It's football news
I didn't move it.
Probably to cut down on the mental newbies defending racism
He's going to be on the end of accidentally mis-timed tackles all season, from inside and outside the club.
I’m not sure that is going to end up being the case. Rightly or wrongly, I think by the time the season starts this will have been long forgotten by most people.
So when is his ban being announced?
We are not allowed Nice jokes, we may get expelled from the Europa league.I have a nice joke but it's not the proper time for it.
The only thing that has happened so far is Chelsea said they're running their own internal disciplinary process and I think FIFA were investigating something. Nothing from the FA so far.
It won’t be brushed under the carpet for it to escape the mind’s eye, I’m pretty sure of that. We’ll find out soon enough, though.
FIFA are investigating. I guess they'll be having a chat with everyone in that bus to see who else was singing.
They're not going to just punish Enzo.
I'm sure rival fans will continue to use it in their top bantz or to score points online, so in that sense, it won't be forgotten, you're right. But the media and football in general will have, I think, moved on by the time the season kicks off. Just like the Bentancur thing has been mostly forgotten already, apart from a couple of Chelsea and Arsenal fans here and there still tweeting about it to score points.
