The irony is you and the rest bring up that 50 million pounds we spent on Torres you fail to see that he makes Chelsea millions in shirt sales infact the third most sold shirt in world football last year was Chelsea 9 Torres.
There is only one player in England who is bigger than his club. His name is bale and Spurs are too small for him
London's third or fourth club always was a selling club and small fry.
Poor deluded souls
Given your user name I guess you can remember when Chelsea were London's fourth club just before the Osgood era when West Ham won a European trophy, Spurs.ruled the roost and Arsenal were just a sleeping giant. I concede its all changed now but I'm sure it will all change again
Sorry mate I have to keep it simple what with you being a thick shlemiel.
I don't suppose you know any other way but simple. Simple is as simple does!..
If that's true, fair enough. However, my point was that it was Abramovich, and Abramovich alone who arbitrarily decided to cough up £50mil for a player who clearly had already lost something of what he was. If he has recouped some of that on shirt sales, I would guess that is more by luck. And, if he has recouped something he's certainly done better than his last impulse buy - a certain Mr Shevchenko!
Oh! Come on. You know as well as I do that he owes much of his fortune to his manipulation of a sad old drunk by the name if Yeltsin.
Because he heard it from his friend who heard it from his brother who heard it from the bloke down his local who heard it from is missus who heard it on a ski trip to Switzerland .
Luck dont come into it Torres still sells shirts because there are still lots out there that still idolise him even if he's gone off the boil over the last few years.
Rules what? You had 2 good seasons and did very little in the next 50.
Chelsea have never been London's 4th side, even when 2nd division.
You haven't ruled the roost since 1961 pal and they didn't even have colour when that happened
Maybe you can console yourself by watching the Spud cd review of the season which runs 36 games.
Ok, quick history lesson. In 1996 Yeltsin was about to be deposed by a resurgent communist party. In return for their support, he offered very lucrative state assets at knockdown prices to Abramovich & Berezovsky, especially.
To be fair, it was essentially Berezovsky who stabbed Yeltsin in the back by creating he Unity party & promoting a certain Mr.Putin. We all know how that one turned out.
Where Abramovich has been smart is in that he hasn't attempted to play politics. He also "agreed" to sell back to the state, in the form of Gazprom, his majority stake in Sibneft. Not that I think Putin gave him too many options!..
