Danny 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 We also have to consider that Chelsea tend to pay inflated prices for their signings given how the market knows to exploit them and their millions when they're in for a player. So when they pay £20M for SWP his true value is probably closer to £10M at the most. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 yes, but when you examine who were the biggest spenders the years arsenal won their leagues, i can assure you that they bought amongst the biggest in the country. dont think gersfem is comparing arsenals spening to chelseas because you cannot compare. it`s different seasons, different years. but arsenal HAVE indeed bought leagues too. reyes anyone? forget about him when you went over viera and henry gav? This has turned into a bloody good debate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Same applies to Duff I think. Arguabely their best player in the last two seasons is home grown in John Terry. (Lampard the closest) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Aye, dream on. How much are the red tinted glasses btw? Wayne Bridge (�£7m), Glen Johnson (�£6m), Damien Duff (�£17m) and Geremi (�£7m), Joe Cole (�£6.6m) and Veron (�£15m), Mutu, (�£15.8m), Crespo (�£16.8m), Makelele, Smertin (�£3.5m), Makelele (�£16m), Scott Parker (�£10m), Cech (�£7m), Ferreira (�£13m), Kezman (�£5m), Drogab (�£24m), Tiago (�£10m). At this point Chelsea have now spoent more than �£190m. Carvalho (�£19m). Then there's Essien, SWP, Shevchenko, and anymore I've missed out. I calculate that they've spent about �£250m on players in 4 seasons. Jon, so you still think Arsenal have spent more on players in the last 15 years? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colshy18 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Chelsea have spent about 4 times more than Arsenal and have achieved less - so far! Until Chelsea do something in Europe then I'll plersonally class them as failures. How long did Roman Abromovich give Mourinho to win the CL, 3 years? Tick tock Jose, tick tock! right then, so success is achieved by what you alone think of them then? what have arsenal ever done in europe? won a mickey mouse cup in a third rate competeion? is that what your gauging arsenals success on? so, by the same token then, i` personally will deem arsenal a FAILURE domestically until they actually show they can RETAIN a title then.....the TRUE sign of a great team! as for tick fucking tock. who told you that pish? mourinho is here until 2010 AT LEAST. but if thats what you want to believe in your warped little mind, then so be it. more like wenger is in danger of leaving before mourinho. it`s quite apparant by your domestic results last season that he`s over stayed his welcome. what did you win last season again? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I havent really. Just enjoy watching a decent football match an will offer my opinion when it suits. I think your wrong and have tried to explain why. Campbell was signed on a bosman. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 won a mickey mouse cup in a third rate competeion? Which is exactly what the Uefa Cup is and that's what we want to win this year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Good stuff Gav, how much have Arsenal spent and can you compare the markets at the given times? As has already been said, Chelsea have spent shit loads and have been foolish enough to pay a ransoms fee compared to any other club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
