Castiel said:RDM seems to really rate Mikel. I believe Romeu is a lot better than Mikel and hope he gets opportunity to prove it, but he hasn't featured much since AVB left.

Castiel said:Chelsea announce a profit in the year ending June 2012, marking the first profit made in the Abramovich era.

A lot has been spent but a lot has also been liberated in wages. Hazard, Oscar and Mata are not earning anywhere near what players like Drogba, Ballack, Carvalho, Anelka and other old names were earning. Torres, Terry, Lampard and Cole are really the only bloated wage packets we have left - which makes an enormous difference.LoveCity said:Chelsea expected to turn in a profit earlier but realized they had to spend to keep up and did so, which is probably the best move they have made since hiring Mourinho as players like Hazard and Oscar have transformed them.
Be interesting to see if they announce a profit next season, Champions League revenue vs. a lot spent on players.
