Chelsea FC thread (Champions!)

[SPiTFiRE]

Chelsea havent bought a single superstar?!?!?! Are you talking about the same Chelsea as us?
Lets play a game shall we. What do Crespo, Kezman, Drogba, Veron, Robben, Duff, Joe Cole, Makalele, Carvalho, Ferreira, Cech, etc all have in common?
They are ALL Superstars!

ROTFFFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Thiz iz the joke of the year! :lol:

R. Carvalho, Paulo Ferreira, Cech, Joe Cole, Robben and Duff superstars? LOOOOOOOOL

Dude, let's see:
Carvalho and Ferreira had been Portuguese SuperLiga stars when they had played in Porto.
Cech isn't a international player.
Joe Cole is a young player with a great future
Robben was a Everdivise star
Duff is another young player with a great future

This players are all humbles and they don't have obsession in beiyng Chelsea players or SuperStars. They play to win and not for the money like some ManUtd players(and his coach[that Fergunsson is so arrogant!]) and Arsenal.

They have mentality to win and the others have mentality to suck money to the clubs and make the supporters like a stupids.

 

[Sabac Red]

Dude, let's see:
Carvalho and Ferreira had been Portuguese SuperLiga stars when they had played in Porto.

Both are overpriced especially Ferreira

Cech isn't a international player.

Are you stating this as fact, did you see Euro 2004?

Joe Cole is a young player with a great future

his on the right track

.....

 

[Sulph]

This jealousy from all these other supporters are pissing me off. Yes, it is a fact that money was a factor in this seasons title race. However, Chelsea did not BUY the title, for that is impossible, so fuck off.

 

[RuneEdge]

I'm pretty sure they paid that ridiculous price because they thought Drogba could go on to be a superstar, just like Man U paying £30million for Rooney. And what Abramovich wants, Abramovich gets.

Drogba was not a superstar when he got there. I hadn't heard of him until they got so interested in him.

Just cause they paid such a high price for him, does that automatically make him a superstar? I think not

But Rooney is also a superstar so that makes your whole arguement useless.

And what Abramovich wants, Abramovich gets.

Exactly my point. Roman wanted the Premiership and Roman got it using his money.

ROTFFFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Thiz iz the joke of the year! :lol:

Sorry. I think YOUR post is the biggest joke of the year.
Lets break down your post shall we?

Carvalho and Ferreira had been Portuguese SuperLiga stars when they had played in Porto.

Just like you said, both players won the SuperLiga, they also won the CL plus they made the final of Euro 2004. This means that both players have proven to be one of the best in europe at Club and International level. How does that not make them superstars?

Cech isn't a international player.

Uhhh...Yes he is.

Joe Cole is a young player with a great future

Ok. Thats one player who isnt a superstar. But he was a great player before joining Chelsea which is the reason why they signed him in the first place.

Robben was a Everdivise star

Yeah, a Everdivise star and also an international star.

Duff is another young player with a great future

Another player who was great before joining Chelsea.

Out of all the signings, Joe Cole is the only one that has improved a significant amount at Chelsea. The rest were great players already. If that was stupid, your post only gets worse.

This players are all humbles and they don't have obsession in beiyng Chelsea players or SuperStars. They play to win and not for the money like some ManUtd players

The only reason all these players joined Chelsea is to make a name for themselves and earn loads of money. Robben is a perfect example. Robben was supposed to join Man Utd. This time last year, Man Utd had "signed" Robben and was also being given a tour of Old Trafford. The next thing you know, Roman offers him loads of cash and the deal was cancelled. Man Utds players on the other hand have accepted pay cuts over the years.

like some ManUtd players(and his coach[that Fergunsson is so arrogant!]) and Arsenal.

Sir Alex isnt the one that considers himself as being "Special".

 

[Milanista]

Again i completely agree with Runedge. Duff, Robben, Kezman, Dorgba had previously proven themselves the year(s) before and were being chased by other top teams - robben and duff to united...remember? Chelsea paid a shitload for all their great players, and the end result was a good team. They built what Real Madrid couldnt in the past few years which was a team of superstars who could play as a team.

 

[RuneEdge]

This jealousy from all these other supporters are pissing me off. Yes, it is a fact that money was a factor in this seasons title race. However, Chelsea did not BUY the title, for that is impossible, so fuck off.

Im not jealous at all (OK I am a little bit). Others might be but I'm not.
It just pisses me off that so many people cant admit that winning the Premiership was all down to money. You can argue that the players and the manager played a big part but it was money that got them to Stamford Bridge in the first place.

 

[Glavisted]

Congratulations to the Chelsea, is a deserved championship. :applause:

 

[Revan]

They sure had proven himself before, they just didn't appear from nowhere. They wouldn't buy first XI players who where completely unknown!

But I can't believe people saying that chelsea players are superstars of the likes of Zidane, Adriano, Totti... etc... (read my previous post)
There nowhere near the quality of those players!
Understand that the coach is what made the difference! And to prove it that, Porto last two seasons!

And one thing, Ranieri WAS given credit for Robben, mourinho said it way back in the first months of the season!

And I'm not saying a thing bout this subject anymore. Chelsea are champions, the ones complaining are cry babies that won't accept the fact that chelski won fair and square!

Milanista if RM still had Del Bosque they would be a completely different team! In that I think you can agree!

 

[SPiTFiRE]

And what Abramovich wants, Abramovich gets.

Exactly my point. Roman wanted the Premiership and Roman got it using his money

My favourite club in England is ManUtd, but isn't Manchester United the most richest club of the world?

Let's forget my post, but you must admit, you're a bit jealous,
until I would be with envy!

 

[RuneEdge]

I already said that I was a bit jealous. Thats only because a team other than Man Utd won the title. If anyone else won the title, I still would be a bit jealous. I'm not jealous of Roman Abramovichs money. If he came to Man Utd, I wouldnt like it one bit. What I'm mad about is that no one here wants to admit that Chelsea won the title because of the free money they have.

Another thing is that just cuz Man Utd are the richest team in the world, it doesnt mean they can buy anyone. The reason why Chelsea arent the richest team in the world is because all the money is Romans personal money, not Chelsea's money. Theres a difference. Chelsea are not richer than Man Utd but Abramovich is.

 

[El_Taib]

FOR ALL YOU CHELSEA FANS I HAVE ONE PHRASE

AC MILAN

 

[SPiTFiRE]

...Chelsea are not richer than Man Utd but Abramovich is.

Yeah, but isn't the money who make the great teams, like Corithians and Chelsean in last season.

 

[Milanista]

One possible difference is that if Man U spent too much, the club is broke. If Chelsea spend too much, Roman is broke, but Chelsea would have all their own retained profit from before.

 

[mrdjkola]

milan is a rich club but they just keep extending old player contracts so they dont really have good time to buy new players.

 

[Milanista]

Milan does spend big yearly, but they usually sign bosman (contract) players and max 2 stars in 1 year. Usually they dont exceed 15m.

An example is this year:

Stam - Free
Crespo - Free loan
Dhorasoo - Free

 

[RuneEdge]

Yeah, but isn't the money who make the great teams, like Corithians and Chelsean in last season.

Yes thats true. But shouldnt you all admit that its that same money that bought you success including Chelsea's title?
Just admit it that Chelsea bought the title and we'll all sleep peacefully.

 

[SPiTFiRE]

They haven't bought the title, they had "bought" courage, effort to sacrifice and intention to win this premiership. I think than all Chelsea players must be congratulated(even the staff and the big bosses)! Let's see for next year who will raise the "mug".

 

[kingpug]

This is such a ridiculous arguement, that Chelsea bought the title because they do what every other football club does, buy players.

The only reason Chelsea spent so much was because they put in big deals to get the player asap, seriously, do you honestly think ferreira and Carvalho are worth about 30 million between them?..doubt it.

Plus, they were worth more than Robben?..bullshit, if they didnt come from FC Porto, they wouldnt have even been bought for half of that.

Plus, if you have money why not spend it?..just admit the better team won the league, its as simple as that.

And it aint all about having the best players, which quite frankly, Chelsea dont, look at Real Madrid?..

 

[RuneEdge]

You know what? I'm even gonna bother replying to that post cuz I'll just repeat what I've already said a million times here.
Whats funny is that Roman bought the club for £150 million and then spent over £500 million more on the team. And you guys still dont think that money is the reason why Chelsea do so well.
If it isnt about money, why cant other teams buy as many players and win the league?

 

[gerd]

What a funny discussion...a bunch of fans from very rich clubs all are sure that "their" rich club does not buy success...
Serious RuneEdge you don't buy a title otherwise it would not be necessary to play matches (and talking about "buying" things, i think Milan tried this once, remember the Tottonero Milanista???) But anyway that's a long time ago...).
Chelsea was fortunate to have bought very good "emerging" players...
About Robben and Man Utd: with hindsight Robben was right choosing for Chelsea...
I'm not sure that if a player has the choice between clubs like Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid,...money plays a big role. I think players want to win things...I think money is an issue if you have the choice between Albacete and Mallorca or between Anderlecht and WBA.

 

[nitr0]

Come on....if it's just about $ then tell me why can't Real Madrid win anything this season and why Man U is still 3rd after spending 27mil pounds on a hooligan?

 

[nitr0]

And I'd like to say you guys are totally talking crap, every managers wants to sign players who've proved themselves!! Who would wanna buy a player who plays like sh*t week in week out(aka Kle***son and Dj**ba Dj**ba)? But players who've proved themselves are not equivalent to superstars!

 

[noise]

All the money in the world cannot guarantee success. I'm sorry, but that is an impossibility. Give Real Madrid as much money as they want and what have they done in the past two seasons since signing beckham, owen, gravesen etc? Nothing, not one single trophy.

Another point. Everyone sayin drogba wasnt worth 24 mil, fair enough, i agree, but why arent people moaning about Rooney? Yes i agree Rooney is a brilliant player, but he has scored less goals this season than Drogba, and yet we payed less for Drogba? Why aren't people havin a go at Man U for spendin 30 mil on a superstar? And before you say it, Drogba is a good player, yes his finishing is not what it could be, but hes hold up game as a one man strike force is awesome. The one game where it really stood out was the Munich game, he was man of the match, but we dont usually play the long ball, so not so many people see him in action as much in one game.

Blah blah, chelsea bought the league, if thats what you want to say and be petty bitter losers fair enough, but one thing still remains the same..

CHELSEA ARE CHAMPIONS!

 

[Alucard]

Ronney is only 19 and english and everyone knows top english players cost a fortune. Drogba is 26 and has only played in french league which is weaker than premiership.

 

[Clockender]

No-one has mentioned the fact that Chelsea are currently running at a loss of nearly £90 million pounds. Financially they are spending more revenue than they generate. Lots more. This as we know is because they have a sugar daddy bankrolling the whole operation. Without Roman Abramovich Chelsea would be bankrupt by now.

The difference between Arsenal\Man Utd and Chelsea, is that Arsenal\ManUtd are self sufficient, financial revenue has been generated from within the club.

Chelsea on the other hand are just a rich man's play thing at the moment, money is no object to them. It doesn't matter about running at such a loss when the income stream is virtually a bottomless pit.

Therefore for anyone to say that Chelsea haven't bought the title is talking out their backside. Without Roman, Chelsea could well be dead by now. Without his money they certainly would not have won the title this year.

If I were a Chelsea fan, I would be worried about the future. What is gonna happen when Roman gets bored and wants to throw his money at something else? Chelsea will be in trouble because their income will be cut off and they will have lots of players on huge contracts with no money to pay them. After all, who would want to buy a club that trades £90million in the RED???

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

Gosh, i'm so worried. We have no future.

 

[noise]

Lets worry about that when or if it comes to it! Really are scraping the barrel now aren't we for putting chelsea down, not talkin about football but the finance behind the club! oh dear!
Is everyone forgettin the £50 million pound sponsorship deal we have jus signed with samsung? Its not for the fans to be worrying about the finance behind a club, we support a team because of the love of the football the team plays, and the players in the club.

 

[nitr0]

In the 1st place there is nothing much to be worried about, it's normal when u start to make short run losses and aim for profits in the long run.....

 

[Stringer Bell]

Lets worry about that when or if it comes to it! Really are scraping the barrel now aren't we for putting chelsea down, not talkin about football but the finance behind the club! oh dear!

Yeah you would say that when millions and millions are pumped into your club!

 

[Sulph]

So what formation do you think we shall play today?
Duff and Robb are doubts and I am hearing rumours that Geremi will start at right back, which I think is a good thing.

Worst Case Scenario (4-3-2-1)
-----------Cech------------
Geremi-Carva--Terry--Gallas
-Tiago-----Make----Lampard-
--Gudjohnsen----Joe Cole---
----------Drogba-----------

This looks like it should still be solid enough.
Im guessing Liverpool will be using a 4-5-1 as Djbril Cisse should still be on the bench. This would mean.
------------Dudek-----------
Finn---Carra---Hyypia---Trao
Garc-Bisc-Gerrard-Hama-Riise
-----------Baros------------
