Nah, that's exaggerated IMO. It was a symptom rather than the cause. Chelsea wanted a yes-man who is fine with little input on transfers and things immediately outside of picking the team etc. and Poch ostensibly felt he was better than that. Given how things were starting to click, he was doing a good job there and had earned their trust, I feel. I'm less worried about Chelsea next season than I was before the news came that he was off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Villa spend £50M I would expect a game changer….someone really special. Let Chelsea spend huge amounts on normal players because we can’t/wont do it. didnt we spend 50m on DIaby? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen somewhere recently that we paid £35 million... wether that will go up with add-ons not sure, hence why I think Buendia is still our record signing at £38 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia was originally £30 million plus add-ons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs that have FFP problems are surely the clubs that have to sell other wise they will breach....right. We just have to sell to buy as i see it. Not a problem more like enforced good practice.

Just would seem mental we signing a 50m player while we failing to address our current accounts. Tbh if it is 6 clubs in trouble then it shows this ffp is just too low a number and needs to be increased like we have proposed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Didn't think he'd be keen on the move away from Chelsea. Especially if the move was forced by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again this is all based on if it's true that he wants to wind down his contract. Edited June 7 by TreeVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest if I was him I'd wait 12 months and take the windfall. He will have plenty of options next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
