Its the volatile nature of any foreign transfer , most down to chance if the homework has not been done. Any, well most European, African or South American players are not coming here for the Club, only the money and maybe, just maybe a big buck transfer to Madrid or Barca..Agreed. And it's not difficult to understand it really. Mind there's no reason why we can't build their likely attitude into our planning if we're looking at recruiting from that area. Short contract, big sell on and buyout fee etc. It's only a bad thing if we don't prepare for it.
My current understanding of club strategy is to get in good youngsters and sell them off for a big profit... hence becoming over a period of time self-sustaining.
Its a good theory.... which is hard to make work let alone have the club climb up the division/leagues... time will tell.
Whilst hindsight will inform how good/bad we have been in this window, in about a months time.
Imho, atm our transfers in are not sufficient ... if we are to have a decent squad and successful season I await with anticipation what transpires!

Give it a rest man, you are trying to make this into something that wasnt intended, and ruining the threadSo most French speaking Africans are the same then ? People from Essouaira are pretty much the same as the Senegalese who are pretty much the same as people from the Congo ?
Don’t be apologising mate, once apologise they’ll have you doing it for everythingI apologise to everyone....my remarks certainly weren't intended to be racist...which I'm not.....more a cautionary comment as sometimes incoming players don't settle and can be disruptive....as I said...we do have examples not so long back. Please accept my apologies....I didn't mean to offend.

Not getting at you, just trying to make a point. When I read the original post the term “African” conjured up black people, then I had second thoughts that a lot of Africans are white. I think most on here would have assumed the same thing thus my reply. Just making a point.I never said they were, Sandy. What makes you say that?
That’s your view.Give it a rest man, you are trying to make this into something that wasnt intended, and ruining the thread
It is mind boggling mate. It isnt just Chelsea, it is the premier league, and in particular the usual 6 or 7.Teams like Chelsea for example make me sick and are everything wrong with football. 20 year of riches from dodgy money,then few weeks of "oh they could go out of business, (absolute bollocks),we can't pay the tea lady", billionaires lining up round the block to buy them, chucking bids in the bin left right and centre.Pay BILLIONS for the them,come in and it's just business as usual, 63 milling quid on Left backs etc. Clubs like Chelsea fall in ****e and come out smelling of roses.Meanwhile the Bury FCs go out of business. I know you can't compare the two, ones in the North West, and ones in West London.
Mate just so you know I liked your apology because I can see you meant no harm. I was with a group of East African kids at the commonwealth games yesterday and security were a disgrace with them. Calling them a gang when they were a football club and accusing other random people who happened to be African heritage of being in their gang. It caused a lot of upset and they left so I’m a bit sensitive today. No intention of upsetting the thread in fact I tried to get it back on track, just thought it was a dangerous throwaway comment I needed to challenge but nowt personal.I apologise to everyone....my remarks certainly weren't intended to be racist...which I'm not.....more a cautionary comment as sometimes incoming players don't settle and can be disruptive....as I said...we do have examples not so long back. Please accept my apologies....I didn't mean to offend.
