It isnt a dodgy deal though. Lets be honest. This is the same Chinese league which paid best part of 50m for Hulk. 40m for Alex Teixeira. 15-20 for Gervinho. 30-40 for Jackson Martinez.So Chelsea is out of money again, need to arrange a dodgy deal to not come in conflict with FFP or what?
Actually my post was mainly bitter jealousy. I wish we had the same ability as you guys when it comes to doing big sponsordeals and selling players expensively.It isnt a dodgy deal though. Lets be honest. This is the same Chinese league which paid best part of 50m for Hulk. 40m for Alex Teixeira. 15-20 for Gervinho. 30-40 for Jackson Martinez.
12-15m for Demba Ba. Same for Paulinho.
AVB is a massive admirer of Oscar. Also helps having an absolute ball crusher doing your negotiations in that Granovskaia woman; who did the £900m Nike deal
Yeah, but most of those players weren't at clubs that were particularly looking to sell. Oscar's hardly Chelsea's star player. They have this incredible ability to sell players that spend most of their time on the bench for ridiculous sums of money. £50m for David Luiz. £37m for Mata. And now £50-60m for Oscar. It's really the equivalent of us selling Dzeko or Bony for £50m. I can understand the Chinese clubs having to pay ridiculous money to the player, but why should the transfer fee be any higher than any other club? Unless (quite possibly) they deliberately spend too much to get a headline grabbing fee and convince everyone that they have loads of world class players.It isnt a dodgy deal though. Lets be honest.

me too, the thought of spuds winning the prem...........Never really minded Chelsea to be honest.
If we don't win it then I'd want them to over Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Utd.
