Sabac Red said:So his agent quotes £110,000 - £150,000 a week for "the best defender in the world"

Are you his Agent?bbbybx said:don't understand what your saying? I didn't say he was the best defender anyway?

Not only are Chelsea destroying the level of competition in the country, they are ruining football for everyone with their cash. You're right Phase about the inflation of wages cuz if everyone at Chelsea receive big pay checks, players and managers all over the world are gonna demand them. If players like Rio dont recieve them, they know that they could just join a club like Real Madrid or Chelsea and get all the money they want.phrase said:For once,I have to agree with this Gooner.Couldnt have put it in better words,Butatista."Thats the thing with Chelsea, all this money and they have no class.",exactly what they are.To make Mourinho the highest paid manager ever is such a farce,the man will make 31million in one year! This action will cause a chain of inflation of wages,I tell you.Not good for football,not good at all.

Alucard said:If i was a chelsea fan i would not feel satisfied knowing my team won everything in first season after spending millions of pounds. Its sad really that a team has to get success that way.
IceMan_Bergkamp said:Funny thing is, 3 seasons ago when we beat them in the FA CUP replay at Stamford Bridge (3-1 i think), they were at their apex considering their team. If Ambramo-bitch didn't come in, i could say they would have gone the way of Leeds. They were like £30-40mil (not sure exact amount) in debt, which the Ru$$ki cleared when buying out Father Christmas (Bates). They weren't exactly setting the world alight, and now they are even trying to buy themselves in the G14... Money seems to buy all things - but not class and etiquette.
P.s., Sorry Mancs for kinda adding a North London perspective in this discussion![]()

Vannizzlefashizzal said:sounds like sour grapes to me, yeah they have a rich benefactor, inter are backed by the owners of pirelli, milan have the Italian President FFS, madrid have had debts wiped out in dodgy circumstances.
Revan said:yeah they're too good. That's how they are goona destroy the level of competition! Mourinho get's paid that cause, chelsea want's to pay him that. It's over the line, sure, but fergie gets a much as him, or more if not mistaken. If you say he earned, true, he did, but did mourinho by utterly dominating european footie with a team with no stars, also earned it! He made them become stars! (well 1 one of them
A few years back teams used to pay alot more for players, especially wages. people seem to forget that. they spend millions after millions, but u won't see them spend has half, well less, next season, simply cause they already have a great team.
Strange is that their best players are Lampard, Terry, players that, guess what, where already there. Of course there are other players that got this year and are among the best. (Robben)
They also spent millions on Veron, and that came from... Man Utd, and Crespo, and both these players failed at the club, so they needed new ones.
Oh and Rooney came for free for Man Utd, ohhh and since we are talking about Rio, he sure wasn't the most expensive defender ever in the EPL! :|
You see, they can, they will and they must! (where did that came from)
I'm sorry if this was a little harsh, but c'mon, they are 11 points clears, and they are currently the best team in the EPL. Buying players is required to do that.
I still remember a season when Milan spend about as much as chelsea in one season, quite some time ago. the difference is that Milan failed completely, and chelsea is succeding.
Peace!![]()

northstandhero said:Chelsea have deserved it this year.......simple as,
and as a Utd fan , i aint gonna moan about how much they spent, cause we've done the same.
Milan spent aproximately in one season what chelsea also spent in one season. It's wasn't the same value, chelsea went a couple millions higher.Alucard said:Also i dont recall Milan spending 220million in two seasons on players i think chelsea are the only team in the world to do that.
Butatista said:Well we've spent bugger all and are still above you. At least Chelsea have something to show for it! :mrgreen:
Revan said:Milan spent aproximately in one season what chelsea also spent in one season. It's wasn't the same value, chelsea went a couple millions higher.
Just to show that a team needs more than simply money to win.![]()
Butatista said:Well we've spent bugger all :mrgreen:
Metallica said:I suppose the money shows when the two teams meet! :mrgreen:
