pede54 said:yeah man but if you had an ounce of intelligence ,you will realise that players use our club as leveredge to improve their contracts.Their agents spread the word that Chelsea are after their man and the clubs in question then up the players wages.There aint one player linked with us so far that we were sorry we didnt get.For instance,Essien.A very average player but once he was linked to Chelsea he suddenly became world class and his value went up.Its all politics my friend and you must be very dim not to see that.As for being dull and without tradition......let me remind you ,that we are the current Premier league champions and your s.h.i.te team finished only second and many points behind us.So if we are s.h.i.te then that makes Arsanal mega s.h.i.te dont it.Wanks
Well, one can hardly call Chelsea's moves on the transfermarket succesful so far this summer. Not a single great signing. And to call Essien average before he was linked with Chelsea is ridiculous. Essien is a class player and has been for a year or two.
And yeah, Chelsea were by far the best team in the EPL last season, but that's no guarantee for the future.
