So I’ll stick up for my side.
Chelsea have spent, approximately, £125 Million on around 12 new players.
Glen Johnson: £6m
Wayne Bridge: £7m
Damien Duff: £17m
Geremi: £7m
Juan Sebastian Veron: £15m
Joe Cole: £6.6m
Adrian Mutu £15.8m
Alexei Smertin: £3.45m
Hernan Crespo: £16.8m
Neil Sullivan: £500,000
Claude Makelele: £16m
Scott Parker: £10m
Total to date: £121 million.
However, what everyone seems to forget is that Mancheser United spent simply *ridiculous* amounts of money on Veron (£28.1m), Van Nistelroy (£19m), Rio Ferdinand (£30) and Ronaldo (£12.24m).
I mean, that’s £89.34 m on just 4 players.
I think you have made some excellent purchases with the exception of Makelele who you paid way over the odds for. Not only that but you have bought a lot of English / home based players. All credit to Chelsea for that.
Have you heard all the latest talk of Chelsea bidding for Beckham and Ronaldo? That ain't gonna' be cheap...
I have. It could be a very good purchase though. Particularly Ronaldo - you seem to lack a striker to regularly put the ball in the back of the net.
Word on Lampard; he's our best player. In fact, I consider our "main" players to be Lampard and Terry - both English.
I completely agree. Lampard has been excellent all season. Not to mention Terry. Wayne Bridge has come on leaps and bounds too.
