Awh I thought we were the richest. You sure we aren't?BlueMo' said:PSG don't give two shits for FFP and have, in no uncertain terms told Platini so
50m fine is fuck all. They are the richest club without doubt. Backed by a sovereign fund
We're owned by Sheikh Mansour and whilst he is very wealthy he is no match for Qatar.
If they give us 50m for Yaya and we get Fabregas I'll be happy.

Demichelis got better late in the season but no way should he our starting CB.....I think he best fits a backup role or short term starter....you only need to watch the Barcelona game to see why we need to improve this area.....
That's how I read it too. If MDM is good enough for the Argentinian squad then he's good enough for another season with VK, and hopefully in this period, MP can run the rule over a fully fit Nastasic(!) and the returning Dutch International Rekik. The defence should now be on the same wavelength from the off, unlike last year, and we might save a packet by keeping things as they are at the back, especially if we land Fernando to protect them.bluesince76 said:Mancitybluemoon1 said:I'm no cynic said:So Demichelis it is then!

He improved massively from the Hull game onwards, as he took charge. Prior to that, he was playing a different line that Kompany. When Kompany came back, Demichelis was leading the line and Kompany followed the line he set. If they carry on like that next season, they'll make a great pairing and Demechelis may help to bring Nastasic on.

Is it done? Is Cesc Fabregas a Chelsea player?
Catalunya Radio are reporting on Saturday evening that Barcelona have accepted Chelsea’s €33m bid for midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
Should the story prove true, it will come to no surprise to the masses; particularly after Gerard Pique was recorded telling Spanish boss Vicente Del Bosque that Cesc had agreed to leave the Camp Nou for €33m during a press conference last week.
The news that Chelsea had finally got their man was first reported by Catalunya Radio’s Tot gira, who tweeted: “BREAKING. The club has decided to accept the offer from Chelsea for 33 million for Cesc Fabregas.”
Many Chelsea fans see the acquisition of 27-year-old Cesc in light of the club’s decision to allow Frank Lampard to leave Stamford Bridge this summer after 13 years at the Blues. Cesc is seen as the successor to Lampard in the Chelsea midfield.
Don't think it really makes a difference in football terms. The Sheikh himself is only worth about the same as Malcolm Glazer, but it's who he represents that is important. Both ourselves and PSG have access to bottomless pits of money when it comes to the expenses of running a football club.whyalwaysyou said:CitizenTID said:Awh I thought we were the richest.

I dont think there is much difference between the 2 but I am positive I read somewhere PSG are richer. Individual wealth, the richest owner in the world is Deportivos i think, worth about 55billion. Only Usmanov and Abramovich from England make the top 10 for individual wealth.

The Deportivo guy you mention is only a minority shareholder, not the owner.
Random, off-topic question - who is the second richest club owner of a French football club?

Demechelis marking Fabregas and costa?......Think he will struggle badly......Chelsea taking care of business........No flapping guys but we need BIG upgrade along side Kompany if we want to repeat as Champs this season......35 years a fan and bleed blue but I got to be real.....Demechelis is Pellegrini's boy so it wouldnt surprise me if he starting next season, which will be a massive mistake and cost us big time.....City need to make moves to stay one step ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool.......
