    That's why you spent £30m on him, £60m on Di Maria

    But you play a £30m striker (rooney) in midfield instead. And a midfilelder up top (Di M) because Van Gaal says your £900k a week triumvirate of dad' s army strikers are too slow.

    Worst team-building in the Premiership?

    NoinRed, poquestion 7570551, member: 1021215"]Fair play on luis but zouma <laugh>. No.

    Edit - not saying zouma is poor. Just young and unproven which we dont need.[/QUOTE]
    Yes without question. No reasoning at all.

    I have said it many times but I still dont know why he dont just stick Rooney up front as the No.9.
    Falcao and RvP are Perennial crocks who both probably past their peaks

    Rooney up front, Mata behind him with Di Maria and Januzaj/Young either side of Mata

    It's getting painful reading all this "nah nah nah" stuff, this is supposed to be about Chelseas' sensible transfer policy. EC started with a good article, can someone stick to the thread? I'll give it a shot.
    Overall we have done very good business the last year or so, pretty much balancing the books. The first 11 does seem stronger though there are still a couple of glaring (to me) omissions. Varane is apparently on the radar for next season with Cahill to go. Back 4 next year predicted to be Azpi Terry Ivan Luis with Zouma and Varane.
    Is Atsu still our player? He had a blinder in the African game 2 days ago. With Ake , Loftus Cheek etc, maybe we might be getting close to that elusive buying only one or 2 players and promoting from within. A Cesc back up and a young striker with Remy either getting a bit more game time or being replaced, please Jose.

    Serious question CP, how much longer do you see Terry staying at the top of his game?

    When was your last league title again? 3 in the last 11 years? Conquered the PL? Baaaahahahahahahahahahaha
    no wait, baaahahahahahahahahahahaha

    You have to win straight titles for a decade and a half to match the successful clubs <whistle>

    Yes yes our last was a lng time ago, but we are not claiming to have conquered the PL

    As for FFP. RA put well over a £billion into players so that when FFP came along you had a huge stock of players, many expensive ones, that's how you conquered FFP

    Big clubs win 3 titles in a row. Then you can say you have conquered the league.

    You would be but too many of your players had perms. That alone nullifies all your success.

    We've got a blue kit!

    The reality is that big clubs play in red or a variation of red.. One or two play in white. Bar City and yourselves, who in blue is actually any good?

    I know, was ****ing about.
    Besides, just by being Rangers they by default have a 50% chance of winning the SPL every year anyway (except when they aint in the SPL as in recent seasons).
    So I wouldn't really call Rangers winning their league as a success.
