....or a bit mental?

£400million investment, supposedly wants us winning the league within
3 years (or at least challenging for it), CL inside 5?

all i can say is he better put his money where his mouth is if that
are his serious goals.

well, arsenal aren't, but aye. sayin that, the glaziers at man u
haven't exactly looked like theyre going to dig deep for new players,
and the two yanks who own liverpool look like they might be a bit on
the tight side as well.

all comes down to what players we bring in really.

i think he's being somewhat optimistic myself.

£400 million is that on playing staff or does this money include paying 
off the clubs debts?

Hicks spent $252m on a player for the Texas Rangers. Now that IS a
transfer fee! Ok it was over a 10-year deal, but geez £13m a year for
a decade .... makes EMO look cheap ....

interesting interpretation you make there.

don't see how i said i was in favour of any such thing.

but then maybe it's cos i'm not a deluded blue.

i'd rather see us build a team, rather than buy one. it's easy to
spend a shitload on a few players, get some instant success, but
sustaining it is the hard part.

tho i guess it's hard for a chelsea fan to see that.

come on Chris, Chelsea will continue doing ok for at least the next
few years, they've bought the league yes, but they have a lot of
potential with young players like Mikel and others in their mid 20s. I
rather them winning than Manu or Liverpool or Arse dominating for
another decade.
 didnt man u in the 90s and liverpool in the 80s do the same?!
Liverpool had a filthy rich family who bought them success in the
80s.
Andy cole for FFS! he was shit hot and we let him go to the scum for
what 8m?!

i'd be happy if this guy pays 25m for a world class player. As Benitez
has found out, you cant win the league buying 8-10m players anymore,
Players like Essien are world class and transfer records have to be
broken to get them.

come on Chris, Chelsea will continue doing ok for at least the next
few years, they've bought the league yes, but they have a lot of
potential with young players like Mikel and others in their mid 20s. I
rather them winning than Manu or Liverpool or Arse dominating for
another decade.
 didnt man u in the 90s and liverpool in the 80s do the same?!
Liverpool had a filthy rich family who bought them success in the
80s.
Andy cole for FFS! he was shit hot and we let him go to the scum for
what 8m?!

i'd be happy if this guy pays 25m for a world class player. As Benitez
has found out, you cant win the league buying 8-10m players anymore,
Players like Essien are world class and transfer records have to be
broken to get them.

well, arsenal aren't, but aye. sayin that, the glaziers at man u
haven't exactly looked like theyre going to dig deep for new players,
and the two yanks who own liverpool look like they might be a bit on
the tight side as well.

all comes down to what players we bring in really.

i think he's being somewhat optimistic myself.

£400 million is that on playing staff or does this money include paying 
off the clubs debts?

Hicks spent $252m on a player for the Texas Rangers. Now that IS a
transfer fee! Ok it was over a 10-year deal, but geez £13m a year for
a decade .... makes EMO look cheap ....

i'm sure the 60mill we're in debt would be chump change to him if he's
looking to invest those amounts.

interesting interpretation you make there.

don't see how i said i was in favour of any such thing.

but then maybe it's cos i'm not a deluded blue.

i'd rather see us build a team, rather than buy one. it's easy to
spend a shitload on a few players, get some instant success, but
sustaining it is the hard part.

tho i guess it's hard for a chelsea fan to see that.

£400 million is that on playing staff or does this money include paying 
off the clubs debts?

Hicks spent $252m on a player for the Texas Rangers. Now that IS a
transfer fee! Ok it was over a 10-year deal, but geez £13m a year for
a decade .... makes EMO look cheap ....

i'm sure the 60mill we're in debt would be chump change to him if he's
looking to invest those amounts.

interesting interpretation you make there.

don't see how i said i was in favour of any such thing.

but then maybe it's cos i'm not a deluded blue.

i'd rather see us build a team, rather than buy one. it's easy to
spend a shitload on a few players, get some instant success, but
sustaining it is the hard part.

tho i guess it's hard for a chelsea fan to see that.

come on Chris, Chelsea will continue doing ok for at least the next
few years, they've bought the league yes, but they have a lot of
potential with young players like Mikel and others in their mid 20s. I
rather them winning than Manu or Liverpool or Arse dominating for
another decade.
 didnt man u in the 90s and liverpool in the 80s do the same?!
Liverpool had a filthy rich family who bought them success in the
80s.
Andy cole for FFS! he was shit hot and we let him go to the scum for
what 8m?!

i'd be happy if this guy pays 25m for a world class player. As Benitez
has found out, you cant win the league buying 8-10m players anymore,
Players like Essien are world class and transfer records have to be
broken to get them.

the tight side as well.

all comes down to what players we bring in really.
