Cajun Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Is that even necessary from Chelsea? What the hell?! Football is proper nuts, it's never "You earn £50k a week, we'll off £70k", it's always "You earn £50k a week, will £130k persuade you? Reminds me of the Leeds Seth Johnsons story or even us offering £16m for Owen when Liverpool wouldn't budge over £8m.

Tooj Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Costa and Fabregas will make me change from City to Chelsea for who wins the league. Two great signings, and I'm sad. Depends on where he plays Fabregas though surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Costa and Fabregas will make me change from City to Chelsea for who wins the league. Two great signings, and I'm sad. Still City for me as favourites. Loads of title winning experience, unlikely to have a shocking away record for the first couple of months this time around compared to last summer, and most important of all.....they got 0 points from their h-2-h from Chelsea last season and can only improve on that, no matter how many players Chelsea sign.

Parsley Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Unreal signing for Chelsea imo. He'll be quality there. Mata is better than Fabregas imo and he couldn't cut the mustard under Jose.

There was a tax-cut available to foreign-born footballers (and thus Fábregas wouldn't have been eligible) that was removed when the sovereign debt crisis began. It halved the taxes those footballers paid. Cronaldo for example was benefiting from it until he signed his new contract, since his old one had been grandfathered. The tax cut was aimed to attract foreign managers to Spanish companies and make them more competitive, it ended up being used to bring in rich footballers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Nah, be worse news for Oscar imo, don't think Mourinho is that big a fan of his stamina and patchy form. Mainly just because he pure loves Willian. Oscar was his favourite player, so much that he sold Mata. I can see Oscar moved to the right, or Ramires moved to the right to accomodate Fabregas centrally and Willian relegated to the bench. Obviously I would put Oscar on the bench since he's had a shit 2014, but at the same time Mourinho seems to love him always praising him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
