Tbh, I think it's more about the hypocrisy of the reporting. I'd think (hope?) that City fans were more aware of the legitimacy of Chelsea's dealings.

only thing i'm genuinely envious of chelsea is they can sell players for way more than they are worth somehowIt would be difficult to claim Chelsea are ruining the market when they've got a positive net spend this summer.
They have sold Abraham for £35m. Tomori for £26m. Zappacosta for £8m. Moses for £5m. Giroud for £1m.Now Zouma for £25m.
Honestly I find whining about people spending is even more grating when it's coming from City fans who should know better than when it's Arsenal or Spurs fans whining about us.

Anyone older than about 25 should remember Chelsea got plenty of "ruining football" and "buying the league" talk from 2003 onwards.
They get less now because 1) They aren't the biggest spenders by any measure and 2) They bring in more money through sales than almost any other club in the world. and 3)They only win a title every 3 or 4 years.

don't get disappointed bro. These things happen. I normally do not see newspaper for transfer update. I get the updates here and mostly the informations are by you. We receive information 2/3 days prior to the reports of newspaper.Said my piece on Ronaldo a day or so prior to the Kane collapse.
Will respectfully leave whatever accountability is desired on here to Sky Sports News and Twitter for the remainder.
It's all because of you and mattyb of course.
In other side if u want fame u must take the blame as well. But never give up.

Perhaps, but we have done reasonably well in Kev's absence in recent times.imo Jack was bought to lighten Kev’s role

I agree with most of that, apart from the blame bit. There should be no allocation of 'blame' to the forum ITK's, they all post in good faith any little snippets they get. They don't have to, but I guess they are all blues like us and want to share.don't get disappointed bro. These things happen. I normally do not see newspaper for transfer update.

I love the cut and thrust and conjecture, but 'blame' - nah just take it all with a pinch of salt and be grateful you dont have to rely on just Twitter and the DM for info.
I get that some blues disappointment might spill over to need to blame someone, but eet eez football.
