Ok, name one instance where a club owner had the funds to buy players like Abramovich? When Fergie took over Man United they certainly weren't in any real position to win the league.

Chelsea is a differant case to clubs that have bought their success before.

 

Chelsea had been making steady progress before Sir Roman turned up.

How do you know they are getting bored?? they haven't thrown the toys out of the pram like RVN

 

You know its true

 

jack walker=blackburn and no one moan then and by the way fergie spent millions on players like keane,bruce,irwin,schmicheal(sorry for the spelling),yorke,cole,and has carried on spend millions after.

 

Duff being a prime example, he'll get plenty of games at Newcastle.

 

Yeah, I forgot about Blackburn. Man United took a while though.

 

one thing a would say that chelsea should sack their pr team because they've done themself no favours in the past 2 years.

 

In 3 seasons at Chelsea he played 125 games, he was out for three months with a dislocated shoulder, would hardly call that not playing

 

I'm gonna shut up now

 

Is it the PR people or is the newspapers wanting to blow everything out of all proportion?

 

a little of both really ie cole,ref and the barca champ league drama has not done chelsea any favours but you are right in saying the media have gone after chelsea ie micheal essien tackle which sky got him suspend.

 

Yeah right

 

Chelsea don't have it that bad, especially with regards to the media and FA.

Compare Rooney's sending off against Porto to Salomon Kalou's horror challenge against the MLS All-Stars.

Kalou's challenge (which in my opinion was a straight red) was shown on Sky Sports News once during the highlights, whereas Rooney's made the front/back pages of the daily papers, and prompted a vast deal of condemnation, and now a three game ban, in which should have been a soft yellow.

 

As usual no-one gives a **** about your opinion

 

actually Amy Lawrence is a season ticket gooner for many years, and started off writing in the fanzines. She knows her football (but probably also hates Chelski)

 

Easy, Paul.

 

Amy Lawrence also has ghost writed for Beckhams latest autobiography that and being a Gooner only substantiates my last post of being a brainless hack.

 

lol @ above post

keane £3.75 million
bruce £800,000
irwin £625,000
schmeichel £500,000

check your facts first bud b4 you spout that crap

we didnt splash out, its called good scouting

these players above became "great" players at the club



only yorke and cole were big signings

 

I believe its time for someone to do something though as the high prices that are paid in the transfer market are passed onto the fans, be this in you season ticket price or general merchandise. Also the wages that these players are on is ridiculous. i know everyone is going to spout on about its not just the players that make the money its also the agents , but surely something can be put into place to stop this?

My own teams transfer record is £14 million which in todays market isnt that bad and i also understand that we have a wage cap but when you look at players like ferdinand and ballack picking up over 100k a week it kind of makes you sick.

My opinion of course but im sure a few of you think along the same lines
