Ummmm…. you can say whatever you want about Chelsea’s transfer policy, but the fact of the matter is right now we have the strongest squad of payers in england. take out the scolari factor, JT’s penalty miss, a dodgy ref against barca, and this team would have dominated football the past 5 years. now that ronaldo has left utd, why would it even matter how many signings we make? he was their best player by a mile, liverpool arent getting any stronger, and we have brought in a decent maanager. if anceotti is a reasonable manager, theres no reason why we cant win the the league with this same squad of players.
as for players not wanting to come to chelsea… who cares? if the 1st galictico era tought us anything, its that it doent guarantee success. essien, lamps, JT, cech, drogba, robben … NONE of them were WORLD names when we got them. so keep on your hating, we will find the players to make our team that little bit better than it was last year. that should be enough to win us the league at least. the CL is nothing but a lottery, but we have a good chance their too. keep on hating us. it feels great to be hated, its just a sign of jealousy :)

Your an idiot for posting this. We have made no official bids for anyone apart from Glen Johnson and didn’t move because he had a bad experience at the club. Ribery hasn’t choosen anyone yet, and I don’t even think we have put in a bid for him. We never had a bid accepted for Gerrard, Kaka or Ronaldinho so what your saying is utter s*it.
Get your facts right before posting blogs in future.

sick as u are thats what you think? Chelsea has big players already, Anelka , Drogba, Lamps, Terry, Essien, Ballack, Cech , A. Cole all big names who would want to fite for a place with such guys? Thats the only reason some fake players like Gerrad, would fear to join the patriotic champions.

the biggest problem is people believe the rumours in the press, chelsea have been linked with so many players that wouldnt even get on the first team at chelsea even before ancelotti has officially started work.
Chelsea probably did go after kaka but werent willing to pay the stupid amounts offered by madrid.
They will probably go after ribery but again they would not pay the extortionate prices.
In all chances chelsea could end up with maybe 2-3 signings, none of which are world class but still very good and are willing to act as rotation players

Russian mafia? That’s not so bad. Liverpool will likely have arab owners soon. What will those arabs have in common with English football fans? About the only thing I can think of is Lawrence of Arabia. I don’t know much about him, but I think he lived around the time of Liverpool’s last league triumph.

Essien chose us over Milan. Malouda chose us over liverpool. Ballack chose us over Real and United. And dont forget, we can say similar things about united: Ronaldo has left. So has tevez. Villa doesnt wnt to come. Ribery will chose Madrid. Who will sign for United? Antonio Valencia :p

Haha at Chelsea fans. You think your club is so great and almighty and yet you hand out these flags to make an atmosphere for champions league quarter finals and semi finals. Cerdos you fuckin facist, real football supporters dont need these props and shit to create atmosphere. The bridge is an embarrassment with its artificial atmosphere and fans who claim Cashley cole has integrity as one of your fellow ’supporters’ pointed out earlier.

Chelsea supporter”
You have to remember football players are only human with human frailties. Money is the driving force for everything. Players and good players as such are only commodities and as supply and demand dictates, the good players have more value than the average player. Hence any team with serious intent will need serious money for transfers. Club history has no relevance when a player of value chooses to ply their trade to that clubâ€¦money counts. So money matters and history will show that the clubs who spend bigâ€¦win big. Yes, you do have exceptions to the rule i.e. bad managers/coaches with poor judgement.
Reading some of the comments posted are hilarious/stupid. Where statedâ€¦ reason why players are choosing other clubs over Chelsea â€¦..Who is qualified, knows what happens behind closed club doors, to write this crap. People read the news paper and take whatâ€™s written as gospel. The only people who are qualified to talk on such matters, club owners, general managers and people in the know stay quite. Exception to the rule is that plonker who now runs MADdrid.. So to end, in general, Chelsea supporters live in London, Man ure fans live in London and Liverpool supporters live in the PAST.

“We would send text messages to each other about the clean sheets. I told him I would swap all my clean sheets for his league titles.”

wow relax guys, i think what ollie is doing here is merely stating that when chelsea’s no longer the only club willing to spend big money, they become less competitive in the transfer market, and he’s just putting across that point in a slightly exaggerated and funny way, take it easy!
in my opinion perhaps the primary reason why players are choosing other clubs over chelsea is because of the fact that chelsea’s been going through a lot of management changes lately. if ancelotti sticks around long enough then i think chelsea’s still got its pulling factors.
i am not sure but if i’m a top player right now i won’t really be very bothered with the history of a club but i just want to play in a team that can win medals in the coming seasons and get paid very well doing so. i think this should be a better reason explaining why everyone’s going to madrid and barcelona, coz they also happen to be the only 2 clubs right now which seem to be doing/buying whatever it takes to win medals.
