So, Chelsea offered £100k a week, and West ham offered more, Joe Cole took 90 at liverpool and now he's a mercenary? John Terry flirted with Man City last summer to try and get a huge wage increase, and he got it, then he was absolutely shit last season. Don't you realise Chelsea are one of the main reasons and contributing factors to the mercenary culture in british football? Roman Abramovich came in and spent over £400 million on Chelsea, to assemble a band of mercenaries, that's how Chelsea became successful. Don't Chelsea far and away have the largest wage bill? One Roman can't afford anymore? Now you're attacking a player based on his wages? That's absolutely hilarious! Maybe Joe Cole wants to further his career, at Liverpool he can play 90 minutes a week at least twice a month, rediscover his form and further himself as a player. That may have been quite important for him. Let's face it, Chelsea may be in the champions League, but they're certainly not gonna win it. Get found out in Europe year after year with the exception of 2008, but we all know what happened there. Anyways, the sheer hypocrisy coming from some of you is alarming. If Abramovich hadn't come in and thrown around extortionate amounts of money, the landscape of English football would be different. Ashley Cole is a perfect example of a player jumping at the pay packet. You only have to look at his off-field problems to see what kind of individual he is. John Terry as well, almost left for Man City last summer, why? £££££££ Why have Chelsea won 3 leagues in the last 6 years? ££££££££- not Chelsea's money though, Roman's ££££££. The club is currently unsustainable and needs a sugar-daddy to just survive, disgraceful really. Anyways, before you berate Joe cole, take some of this into account. I'm not here to start a war, just point out some home-truths. I won't respond to any comments, just passing by.
