Thank you I have not been able to work out his argument either.

Blimey, it's not that complicated!!! The point is that to criticise Chelsea for buying players is a ridiculous argument. Every team in the Premiership, including Palace, buys success. You buy players to stay up( success for you). I merely pointed out the hypocrisy of criticising us when you do the same thing (with a lot less success )

It's all relative. We have two players we paid nigh-on £30m for in our squad, but don't seem demonstrably better than we were with players picked up from the lower leagues for two mars bars and a ticket for the Selhurst Super Draw.

Even our wage structure has been largely blown out of the water.

We've spent, and we've spent big, just not necessarily wisely (not knocking Sakho and Benteke, but I think the money could have been spent better, and for the money the board have thrown in, I'd be hoping to see us at least secured as a mid table mediocrity team like Stoke by now)

Just wondering if 'Chelski' will be gracing us with his comments tonight. Or has he now reverted to supporting Man Utd?

I don't think you know what we mean by buying success. We are not talking about simply buying players in order to gain success, we are talking about the way that Chelsea under Abramovic have spent hundreds of millions of pounds in numerous transfer windows in order to win trophies and if that has failed, he just spends more. Yes every team buys players but the likes of you, City, PSG and Real Madrid and some other clubs just spend stupid amounts of money in order to win trophies.

Exactly and having 40 odd players out on loan and they are now bemoaning their lack of squad depth. Unbelievable, couldn't make it up. They can spend as much as they like but passion for your club is priceless.

Football is about winning!! Winning trophies preferably!! We have won a lot in the last decade and if spending 'stupid' amounts of money has achieved it then so what!! Passion isn't based on money spent. That suggestion shows a high level of ignorance. Man City fans seemed to show a lot of passion at Aguero's last seconds goal to win the league!
In terms of players on loan. You will find the majority of Chelsea fans complaining that we are producing potential world class talent out of our academy and its going to waste! Smaller clubs like yourself are benefiting from the likes of Reuben when they should be at Chelsea.

Sorry not noticed you on this thread before?!?!

I'll give an honest analysis as always on the game on Saturday. You were the better team and deserved to win!

When's the parade around Croydon??

But that isn't really football is it, that's more like a business, lets face it if you didn't have Roman's money, you would not be where you are now

That's very gracious of you, mate. Thanks. I feel a bit bad about teasing you now!

I think it may be a bit early for the parade just yet....

Football is a business!! That's why its called professional football!!!!!! Chelsea FC as a business and a professional football team is now massively successful. Of course we wouldn't be where we are without Romans money. Your point is??

Very gracious response.
Unfortunately we only normally parade when we beat one of the big clubs.
