Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Does it matter? Of course it does. I've lost count of the amount of players they've bought without having had a manager in place. They're buying pllayers that the new manager will feel forced to play even if they don't suit his tactics/formation etc. It's incredible the amount of money they've spent on Abramovich (and their director of football) playing a sort of Fantasy Football. It's just not right. I really can not stand that club in any way shape or form and I do not like how they go about things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Great input as ever. It was a serious point tbh, this way of doing things has seen Chelsea have their most successful period ever, they won the European cup a few weeks ago. I might annoy opposition fans (as mt demonstrated) but I'm willing to bet Chelsea's don't give a shit when they've signed two of the most talked about players in Europe over the last couple of years We had supposedly been scouting cisse for two years before we signed him, we'd changed manager in that time so it obviously wasn't pardew that started that process.

Gemmill 44838 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 70m spent and it's only the 1st of June. Chelsea are taking FFP seriously, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30587 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Worth remembering that Chelsea's wage bill is already higher than Man City's. I know they're going to lose a few this summer but Hazard and Hulk will be on supa-ridiculous money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm hearing rumblings that Kaka is signing for Arsenal I think it'd be a silly signing for Wenger. He's not going to hit the sort of form he was showing for Milan a few years' back. Struggled with injury recently and isn't he 30 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we know though that the ffp rules will make it a minor inconvenience to bankroll clubs ala Chelsea and city though, it's just a case of setting up "sponsor" deals from one of the myriad other companies these people own.

Besty 4 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 According to reports Blackburn Rovers winger Junior Hoilett is heading to German outfit Borussia Mönchengladbach. Mönchengladbach are understood to won the race for the Canadian’s signature who has also been chased by several clubs in England, France and Germany. Hoilett is understood to be close to signing a four-year contract with the Bundesliga club who finished fourtth last season. The winger is a free agent, but Rovers will pick a training fee of less than £500,000 to Blackburn Rovers. Hoilett was spotted by Rovers in 2009 by previous boss Sam Allardyce when he was playing for Paderborn and St. Pauli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Fair play, they're a decent outfit and that's likely to get him some CL game-time if true, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besty 4 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) I think so yeah, they finished 4th last season. They've lost Marco Reus to Dortmund though so might struggle a bit. Edited June 3, 2012 by Besty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30587 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Rodgers said that he wasn't going in for any Swansea players, he's getting Siggurdson on a technicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4748 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Apparently Sturridge wants to leave chelsea this time last year I'd have had us in for him no question but I'm less sure now, hes a good player but hes greedy as fuck and seems to think hes much better than he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADP 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'd definitely take Sturridge like (if he wasn't daft on wage and that). Bet Pardew could quieten him down and get him playing more for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bias 3 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Not much of a passer but Pardew could sort that, we'd be a perfect club for Sturridge. We're not full of "big" stars and he would fit perfectly into the left wing role of the front three if Ba left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
