#CFC have spent most (£673m - gross) in PL since Jan 03. #MCFC i2nd (£572m), #LFC 3rd (£414m) then #MUFC £352m

Anyone have any idea where we could find the spending figures since 1992?
Im sure those figures would tell a different story

The next 5 years will be most telling, we have a young outfit with really good kids coming through. United lost a lot of promising youth and have dross in the ranks aswell as having to replace Rio, Evra, Vidic, Giggs etc.
 
We're in a luxurious position at the moment where having won the league very few players actually have the talent to improve our side. The problem is that those who do have the talent either aren't available (Hummels, Subotic, Vermaelen) or aren't value for money (Agger, Silva, Martinez) so if you can't get someone who can improve you right now you have to go for a younger player who has the potential to be moulded into the player you want (Nastastic). It's the same with wingers, which is why we are now in the market for Sinclair.

There is absolutely no point buying a player at a ridiculous fee that isn't going to drastically improve the team, otherwise you'll be left with the next batch of Adebayor's, Santa Cruz's etc...

You should post more often. Total sense in a sea of flapping.

I like flapping.

My only regret, and I'm sure most at City will probably agree in hindsight, is that we missed out on Hazard. For the sake of an extra few mil in agent's fess we should have wrapped that one up when we had the chance. Shame.

Whether we like it or not we have pretty much stood still this window. Yes there's still time but why are we going for full backs and wingers when anyone with half a brain knows we need a world class central mid. All the teams around us have strengthened and done it well. Imo we won't win the league again this time around unless something happens regarding he midfield, hope I'm wrong but just can't see it.

still two days to go!
 
Agreed, the sooner we stop paying these 'Premiums', the sooner other clubs stop trying to milk us dry. Look how Real managed to get modric at a much more acceptable cost than what they were quoting for him. Barca never seem to pay over the odds. I understand that we are building towards this but if the player isn't going to improve us by £30m worth, for example, then don't sign them.

will cost chelsea 90 million pounds over 5 years though , granted he`s started well but just dont think we were prepared to offer him wages on par with tevez and yaya ..chelsea are paying him similar to torres , lampard and terry , it was a big risk for an unproven 21 year old although things are going well for them at the moment time will tell.

Hazard's looked very good so far, but up against not very much. He didn't look special in the Charity Shield against us, did he.
I don't understand Chelsea's transfer policy though, and overall, I don't think they've bought well for 2 years.
Will Torres return to his best? Will Hazard keep it up for more than half a season?
Mata is lightweight, and they have Oscar, Moses and Marin (Is it?) who are all similar nippy players at geat cost.
Meanwhile they have fading Czech, Terry and Lampard, and an inadequate Luiz, with a no better than steady Cahill to make up the spine. They got away with it last year, but, I can't see that happening again.
I won't believe in any Chelsea renaissance until they've come up against some of the bigger boys.
Also, I agree with Fatbloke 100%.
 
Right then.

Looks like we are going to add Sinclair and Nastasic to Rodwell.

Rodwell 12mil
Sinclair 6mil
Nastasic 12mil (plus Savic)

Now I'd assume we then have money in reserve for a relatively big signing which one would assume would be the deep lying playmaker.

Javi Garcia or DDR.

Would be a good window if we land these.

Just thinking the same, with rodwell in, Sinclair almost done, hopefully maicon and a top midfielder and it suddenly doesn't look like too bad a window. Then the flappers can rest easy, myself included :)....oh and nastasic.

Oh aye, I forgot about Maicon. Maybe we'll bring him in on loan with Nige going other way?

Yeah hopefully, neva been dejongs biggest fan myself but definitely think we need another midfielder if he goes....Barry had a good year last year but getting on a bit now and has never been blessed with a lot of pace

Well for a start this managed to miss out the £30M United spent on Ferdinand because he signed in 2002. And their figures have been helped by the £80M they got for Ronaldo.
 
Rodwell 12mil
Sinclair 6mil
Nastasic 12mil (plus Savic)
Maicon 3mil

I think the De Rossi deal is dead though, they said 3 players this week and thats 3 players.

I bloody hope not. Witsel at CM is needed!!!

We have it in the kitty too, a biggie is still on the horizon imho.
 
These signings should leave us with about £30m to spend on a marquee signing if we so choose. Not saying we'll get on, but we have a structure in place to allow it if our transfer budget figures are to be believe.
