The Austrian league too.Players from the Portuguese, Dutch and Belgian leagues going for top dollar.
What Scottish Football could be if it sorted it's shit out and stopped hating itself to death.
Chelsea with £105 million bid for Benfica's midfielder Fernandez out the traps early.
Eye watering.
FFP. It's laughable isn't it.Chelsea need looked at.

Man City far better run from an outsider looking inThey are. The original oil club. No different to City. They've spraffed about half a billion on transfers recently. Odious
They’ve been looked at and the rules changed…not until the summer though!!Chelsea need looked at.
Oh yeah, without doubt.Man City far better run from an outsider looking in
There is none, it is a cock swirling contest.I don't understand how there is value in any player for that kind of money.
Cancelo apparently fell out with Pep when he found out he wasn't in the team against Arsenal last week. Other players weren't happy with him and he said he wanted out. Pep said his wish would be granted. City now looking at Robinson of Fulham.Things have certainly ramped up!
What’s happened that Man City are offloading Cancelo as he’s a great wee player.
There was something about Leeds spending more than Serie A and La Liga combined
It’s not. Abramovich induced a giant change in football transfers by telling clubs to name their price for players they wanted. Hence spending fortunes for players like Wright-Phillips. They’re no better than PSG, City or any of these clubs who’ve fast tracked their way to big titles via disgusting amounts of oil money.Pish.
And they'll still be lucky to finish top 6.Go on then. A middle of the road, average club until the Russian gangster came in and bought them the title. They've spent almost £500m since the new guy took over them in the summer. It is obscene.
Lol, football has changed,best get your head round that.Go on then. A middle of the road, average club until the Russian gangster came in and bought them the title. They've spent almost £500m since the new guy took over them in the summer. It is obscene.

To be fair the we’re buying decent players before abromobic took them over and won the cup winners cup the season before he took over. They were buying the likes to gullit, zola, vialli, de mattao and desailly so to call them a middle of the league team is slightly unfair.Go on then.

They were by EPL standards. Most of those players mentioned had passed their peak too, as good as they were.To be fair the we’re buying decent players before abromobic took them over and won the cup winners cup the season before he took over.

You're right, it has changed and not for the better. I get you're obviously a blooz bruvver but I suggest you revise your post above as it's littered with inaccuracies.Lol, football has changed,best get your head round that.
Chelsea finished in the top six,eight seasons on the trot and second the season before Roman arrived,including a European cup winners in 98.
Champions league semi final 2004.
So they weren't doing two bad for an average club:shh:
Chelsea apparently spent more in last 6 months than Liverpool have in last 10 years.We are on a watch list for a fraction of this amount over all our business, disgusting. Fine them an they will just take it.

3 FA Cups, 1 top division title and 2 league cups pre-2003. Average is being kind.blooz bruvver, lol.
That was off the top of my head, but it's pretty obvious that Chelsea where winning trophies and competing before the arrival of roman,unlike city,psg etc.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
They won't care. They love stockpiling players.What do Chelsea do with these lengthy contracts if the player isn’t successful or a new manager doesn’t fancy them?
It certainly seems a risky strategy.
You forgot two European cup winners cups, 1971,1989.3 FA Cups, 1 top division title and 2 league cups pre-2003. Average is being kind.
That's not correct. Abramovitch took over 2003. Prior to that Chelsea won 1 League title, 2 League Cups, 3 FA Cups, and 2 ECWCs.blooz bruvver, lol.

Yeah. Fabulous stuff.You forgot two European cup winners cups, 1971,1989.
Not bad for an average club,who had loads of world class players before Roman arrived.

Poor guyAccording to Ornstein, they're paying relatively cheaper wages so the player can be moved out on loan if it doesn't work. Mudryk, for example, is on around 90k.
Sure it wasn’t 4th? They beat Liverpool last game of season to finish 4th to qualify for CL ahead of the scousersLol, football has changed,best get your head round that.

Lol :shh:Yeah. Fabulous stuff.
I was talking about just before Roman arrived mate,Chelsea where a good side and how city where performing before their takeover.That's not correct. Abramovitch took over 2003. Prior to that Chelsea won 1 League title, 2 League Cups, 3 FA Cups, and 2 ECWCs.
Total 8 trophies.
Prior to 2003, City won 3 League titles, 2 League Cups, 4 FA Cups, and 1 ECWC. Total 10 trophies.
