Serie A's biggest earner is Daniele De Rossi at s £5.2m per year. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/09/daniele-de-rossi-serie-a-highest-earner" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.theguardian.com/football/201 ... est-earner</a> Yaya...

Lampard will be released and will join NYCFC. Sagna is 32, and signed a three-year deal in the summer, he won't go anywhere anytime soon. Jovetic' s stock fell considerably since his move. He did well in Serie A , but Italian clubs won't have the money to accommodate the kind of fee City would...

To be fair, your massive income has very little to do with your success/lack of on the pitch.Being a Chelsea fan, I know very well how hard it is to be profitable for a club with 'new money'. We've been the most consistent English club over the past decade if you look at the domestic and...

It was 21m plus Matic for Luiz, and we paid 21m to buy Matic back.

Have you ever reached a CL semifinal? You'll find out when you get there.

FFP is coming. The time of spending without consequences is over. I hate the idea of us selling Mata to United, but he can't adapt to Jose's system and is wasted on the bench. And 40m is a nice sum which could be used to strengthen areas where we genuinely lack quality and depth.

What happened to Team Bridge,then? No more love for a poor brokenhearted Wayne? That was some hysteria you lot get caught up in back then.

You are forgetting that if he becomes available, even with one year left, City won't be the only club interested, so his fee will reflect the demand in the market. And why would he choose to return to City if he wants playing time?

The rumor linking Sturidge to move back to City makes no sense for every party involved. Sturridge left, knowing he has no future at a new rich version of City, where an abundance of more experienced attackers with bigger names than his made his chances of playing non-existent. Did it become...

If Hulk comes, it'll probably be something like that Ivanovic - Cahill/Luiz - Terry - Cole Mikel - Lampard/Ramires Hulk - Mata - Hazard Torres

Re: Eden Hazard £35 million for potential I hope you weren't serious with this post.

Maybe you should concentrate on qualifying through the group stage first. Can't believe a sheer arrogance of some here.

What exactly is Hazard supposed to be punished for? Not that we could, since he's not a CFC player yet. The kid has a Twitter account and is sharing an info with his fans, like many other celebrities do. Don't blame the footballer, blame the millions of muppets who are willing to hang on to...

You won't have a stronger squad forever, you know. City won the title, fair enough, but other clubs will regroup and strengthen, it happens all the time.

And you think it's a good idea? What happens a year from now when another "flavor of the year" arrives to replace Hazard? I'm sure, Nasri will be ecstatic at the thought of joining the long line of City players rendered a surplus after being replaced with the newly bought star.

I never said only for the money. I meant he will have much better chance at a starting spot and playing time at Chelsea.

You're talking bollocks. Lukaku is 19, far from finished article and he knew he'll have to bide his time to become a regular at Chelsea, having the likes of Drogba in front of him. He loves the club and is happy there. Torres' biggest problem is his own poor performances over the last two...

Chelsea supporter here. First of all, thanks to everyone who supported us in the Bayern matchday thread, I'm well chuffed and still a bit drunk. Concerning Hazard, I'm quite sure he's going to City. Having said that, how do you think it'll affect the likes of Silva and Nasri? Isn't he the same...

Every footballer does some cheating, some more, some less.I'd say, it's far more important what a player is like off the pitch. Drogba has been heavily involved in charity work for many years and has recently donated £3m of his own money towards construction of a hospital in his war ravaged...

Re: So called penalty on Welbeck and Cahill's red card Here's a full quote from Cahill. "I thought the contact was outside the box anyway, and at the time I thought I had got the bottom of my studs on the ball," Cahill, a January arrival from Bolton, told Chelsea's official website. "I have...
