I don't see the point of signing big names in January anyway. All the decent players are pretty much cup tied. Neymar, who everybody is wanking over, would bring so much disharmony to an already unstable dressing room. He has a massive attitude problem! A club as big as Chelsea should have some of the best scouts throughout Europe who are professionals at bringing in players who are ready to perform. Not guys who have performed in the past and made a name for themselves at rival clubs. Players like Lampard, Drogba, Essien, Robben, Ash, Cech were all bought before they had hit there peak. they were hungry and in form when we signed them. Players like Torres and Shevchenko had either already peaked or were not in form before arriving. If you notice, Fergie never signs players that have won anything. All the players he signs come from mid-table clubs and are stand-out performers which he turns into superstars. We on the other hand, will sign any player that comes to mind, even if they don't fit the system we have in place. I use to laugh at City when they would literally sign anybody that had an awesome highlight video on youtube or pinch every player we were being linked with. Now i just think we have become the laughing stock after forking out 50 million for a bloke who looks like he is running through dry sand. I think missing out on CL place next season is exactly what the club needs. It will give AVB and the new players a chance to start from scratch earn there spot in the Champions League, not take the spot of player that got us there last season.
