    Not too much? If any investment I made dropped by over 35%, I would consider that a disaster!

    Well, you forget we had Carroll, so a 35% drop is nothing compared to that catastrophic investment

    that was a "**** me we sold Torres for £50 million so we need to get a replacement in at any cost" panic buy. if you had paid £20 million it would have been fair price imo for a big English striker and there aren't too many of them around. at least you sold him on and he is west hams problem now. he is probable worth **** all as always injured or about to be injured [he is like Diaby is for us!!]

    and as for Torres that was £50 million well spent by Chelsea lol, wonder what he would be valued at if put on market. £5 million anyone

    You've never bought a new car?
    Soldado is 28 and on a four year contract so has limited resale value. You would expect him to fall in value by £7m each year.
    Despite that, with some of the others going up we'd get at least 100m if we sold all 7 today.

    If you bought a new car though, you'd expect it to perform, otherwise it's just a waste of money

    Also I don't think you'd even recoup 100m, I think it's more like Sir_Red's figure of 65m and even then he was being slightly generous with one or two players.
