Chelsea's youth development system has been a joke as well. They've spent a canny bit of money on poaching kids from quite a young age and they've reaped no rewards whatsoever. Also I remember when they reigned their spending on the first team in a bit then they stopped winning things so they just went proper apeshit again.

At the moment Chelsea are worse, because they've been doing this for nearly a decade while claiming they'll become self-sufficient. Man City have made similar claims which are largely based around building those amazing training and youth facilities, so we'll see but it's probably a bit doubtful. Chelsea did build from a better starting point but it can't be said that they'd had an elongated period of success and achievement before the Russian arrived.

Oh good Lord, what have I done.

Gervinho.

Maiga's another one it could be, at a knock-down price. Reckon Erding's the most likely.

Spot-on usage, that GIF still rules.

Head's about 50% too big.

:lol: WTF Dave, mental that like.

Can't underestimate the London effect, it seems quite important to certain players.

Tonight's Standard had a quote from a Chelsea bigwig saying the Champions League win earnt them hundreds of billions millions, no shit. They then used this to justify them spending £62m on Hazard and Hulk, this is the article here: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-close-in-on-62m-swoop-for-eden-hazard-and-hulk-7793476.html

Horrendous scenes there, fuck's sake.

Nah I don't know tbh. I know he had an up-and-down season overall, but I do remember him playing in CM at QPR and he was brilliant, totally ran the show imo.

Semblance dosnt really work there. There is no need for that word at all tbh, the sentence works without it. Thanks mate.

Every time I see this guy's name I think "Debuchy coochy coo" in the stupid voice you'd expect for some reason, not sure if I can handle him signing from a selfish perspective.

But I don't know which players to pick.

Run it by sicko2ndbest.

These forum bets are hilarious like. Stabaek had 1 point from 10 games and a goal difference of -22, nice one.

:lol: @ both posts.

So brutal, this place. I know I'm as bad as anyone else, just saying.

What a great idea.

It's not very respectful to Lille either tbh, hadn't even really thought about it. Imagine one of our lot doing this, there'd be uproar.

That's not real, is it. I'm on Twitter now, this is proving to me once again that I don't understand Twitter.
