There is a looming new stadium coming up and that is quite an extensive task, the club is being safe with all its finances, just like Arsenal when they built their new stadium. Besides, haven't you seen how the club is operating recently? Hoarding players, loaning them and then selling for a profit. The club is trying to become self-sufficient without the sugar daddy money, but it is there is necessary. That to me translates to less purchasing power - you are just providing the reasons. i agree with you that these changes are necessary, but we need to get used to how things are Atm. chelseafan26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpassnmove 924 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Xhaka will never be as good as Gundogan, but he does hunt people down in MF. To me, Xhaka is nowhere near the top level when faced with a top opponent, but I'll admit that my view is limited based on the number of times I've watched him AND the circustances of his side (lineup changes, injuries, etc). Krychowiak might be a better choice in that role however. I supported Schniederlin coming to Chelsea after his first season in the Premier League with Soton, but if you gave me the choice between MFs from United right now, I would take Blind.

He'll put in a 8/10 performance for 1-2 games then go missing for a few games (sort of like one of Chelsea's current midfielders) Leif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Only Real Madrid are the all time big spenders. I can recall only one brief period in the late 60s - early 70s when they were not buying everything across the board. Even players they hardly needed. Barca also during the last 10 years. I don't know what makes them so rich. We seem to be a poor house at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MefiX19 1,092 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 We can't really sign anyone, because we don't know who will be our manager next season. We just can't buy tons of players and then sell them, because they just don't fit into our sistem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluearcher79 2 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The Texteria deal has fallen through, Liverpool are in advanced talks. Pato being described as a sick note player with an attitude problem. So we miss out on a player who's scored more than Lebonowski for someone who was too slow for Italian football.

The present one dates from 1976, but it's better now than it was in 1976. The biggest sports arena in Europe they were saying back then. Stadiums get old. I 've been to the old Amsterdam Olympic stadium. That was the stadium in which the Olympic games were staged once upon a time. It looked like the stadium of a fourth division - Isthmian league team. Now of course they have a new one. But I don't get it why the bridge is considered old. The way you describe things we are in for a huge drop in class.

The extra revenue on the increased amount of corporate will be massive. On top of extra corporate, extra supporters through the gates are not just about match ticket sales. There will be extra revenue gained in the club shop, food and drink stalls plus potential revenue from other sports such as boxing, American Football etc etc wanting to hire an iconic stadium Edited January 21, 2016 by Rhino's Skin Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
