ponsaelius Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I was just thinking that last season Chelsea didn't spend that much. Checked; £80 million. Around £65 million net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Jo £18m SWP £9m De Jong £16m (in January, could have got him at the end of the season for £2.5m) Lescott £22m (7th most expensive defender in history or something) Adebayor £25m (fucked off) Kolo Toure £16m (drugs) Santa Cruz £17.5m Barry £12m Some of them are/were good players, but they threw around some fucking ridiculous money too.

madras Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 re chelsea spending spree and FFP. I'm sure I read a while back (world soccer or WSC maybe) that platini is waiting till he takes over from blatter (who doesn't want it, likes things the way they are the t***) to really enforce FFP. fingers crossed. Genuinely think you're clutching at straws mate. When all is said and done the clubs will call the shots. not so sure. platini called out the euro super league a while back and that is the only real weapon the chelseas and such have.

Interpolic Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Difference being Chelsea's purchases have taken place over the past 8 years...City's over the past 2 (ignoring Robinho). Take inflation into account as well though, and Chelsea have bought plenty of players that were less than £20m but not cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Jo £18m SWP £9m De Jong £16m (in January, could have got him at the end of the season for £2.5m) Lescott £22m (7th most expensive defender in history or something) Adebayor £25m (f***ed off) Kolo Toure £16m (drugs) Santa Cruz £17.5m Barry £12m Some of them are/were good players, but they threw around some f***ing ridiculous money too. I know they all weren't him but some of those shows exactly why Mark Hughes wasn't cut out for that job. Do you think Hughes had a great degree of control over who was brought in? Yep. Chelsea - Highest transfer fees paid Name From Fee Date 1 Fernando Torres Liverpool £50M 2011 2 Andriy Shevchenko Milan £30.8M 2006 3 Michael Essien Lyon £24.5M 2005 4 Didier Drogba Marseille £24M 2004 5 Juan Mata Valencia £23.5M 2011 6 David Luiz Benfica £21M 2011 7 Shaun Wright-Phillips Manchester City £21M 2005 8 Romelu Lukaku Anderlecht £20M 2011 9 Ricardo Carvalho Porto £20M 2004 10 Ramires Benfica £18M 2010 Compared to Man City btw: Name From Fee Date 1 Sergio Agüero Atlético Madrid £35M 2011 2 Robinho Real Madrid £32.5M[5] 2008 3 Edin Džeko Wolfsburg £27M 2011 4 Carlos Tévez Media Sports Investments £25.5M 2009 5 Samir Nasri Arsenal £25M 2011 6 Emmanuel Adebayor Arsenal £25M 2009 7 Mario Balotelli Internazionale £24M 2010 8 David Silva Valencia £24M 2010 9 Yaya Touré Barcelona £24M[6] 2010 Outside of Torres and Wright Phillips, none of these fees seem particularly high for the players at the point in time they were point. It is more the quantity of the purchases (especially with Chelsea and their crazy youth experiment) and the wages being handed out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah true Baba, I think a list of players that have cost Chelsea £10m+ would be more interesting, there must be fucking loads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Shock horror, a player that's been whoring himself out for 6 months has gone for the club that will shell out the most cash to him. Seriously hate him already. Fucking disgusting if it's true about the agent after the CL win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
