Just have to trust the club on this. To buy him for 16.4million and then sell him for a really hefty profit (at age 29) is sound business. It hurts some fans that we don't splash the cash these days, that is not sustainable. Let's not forget that we have tied up the core of our squad for 4 to 5 years by which time we have to be in a position of developing our own talent. Funny after all the abuse levelled at us for spending so much and evidently ruining football I doubt Utd or Liverpool will suffer the same! What the Reds have spent over the last four windows is ridiculous. Trust is the key and I for one trust those running our club.

We can trust the club and yes they do know more than us...BUT they have taken a calculated risk letting Negredo go and not having cover...and not even Tixi can guarantee Aguero and Jovetic will stay healthy for the full season....knowing this the "money men" should not have weakened the position if they want us to fight on all fronts...Can Tixi guarantee that Aguero and Jovetic will be able to carry the club over 60games?....The answer is No!...which is why we should not have made this move, without replacement...

We couldn't splash the cash because of the UEFA sanction.

We can splash it in January - up to a point should we be able to find a player at the right level. No more restrictions

Celebrate that. It's something

Lots of City fans annoyed we are down to 3 strikers but please note he can't play until October at the earliest and would miss the Champions League games, so if we lose our strikers between October and December, we could buy in January

The risks about going through an entire season with Only 3 strikers are being over-stated.

We are also forgetting that this player left at his wish, and he had not scored for an eternity. Had we needed him this season, which Negredo would we get? Legitimate question I think

We've done right by the player, got a great financial deal.

Short term pain admittedly

Unnecessary short term pain that could last until seasons end.

Will be hard pressed to get a quality striker in January.

Maybe Torres will miss England (LOL).

18 outifeld players to carry us through until Jnauary, Sinclair , Boyata and Nasty are unlikely to feature much unless we have an injury crisis when we lose YAYA and Lampard.

Looks like we might have do a fair bit of business in January if we are still on Chelsea's heels.
 
Can someone answer me about this obligation to buy please. There is no way in hell that we can force him to sign permanently for them if he didn't want to in 12 months. I get that if he does the fee is set but say something happens like he falls out with the manager or similar and he doesn't want to go there.

I thought we paid over 20 million for him .
I don't think we will make a profit of 7 million .

I believe the fee was initially 16.4 plus add ons up to 20million relating to both league and Champions League wins - I presume with him only being with us for one season we would only have to pay a small add on. Either way it makes a change than the 16+million we threw away on Jo!
Mr Platini will think we've been very good boys. So will Jose and Roman

Still we'll get the better of them in the end.

Today was Chelsea and Manchester Utd's day, but financially we're stronger, the bogey of FFP has been laid to rest once and for all and if we're unlucky and injuries strike between Coct and December we can react in January

Would you mind terribly if I told you to fuck off you huge c**t?

If it's ok with you like.

Hang on..I'll pop on Chelsea's forum to see if I should be offended or not

A well humoured response to some not so well humoured c**tery.

You might do well to note it was him who started the not so well humoured c**tery.

'Homesick' on a hundred grand a week.. I've changed my mind on this, fuck him.


TBF none of us have a clue why he might need to return to his home country. He hasn't gone awol and the club seem happy enough to sanction the deal. Could be serious personal issues beyond his control.

Even if 1/2 academy players come through every few years that are good enough for our squad,big money will always have to be spent. It's just the way of the world

Yes but you cannot keep spending so much. With the model the club want to run we will always buy 1 or 2 major players but some must come through our academy. I predict we will still buy big and break the 100million barrier for one player someday, but that will be after revenue streams are so big it will be self funded especially if we sell players who come through but don't quite make it. Unless our owner departs we should all relax a bit. I sense a lot of posters are upset yet the reality is we have shifted a lot of fringe players on huge wages.

Pretty stupid to let Negredo go without having a replacement lined up. It's not as though Aguero or Jovetic haven't had a injury problems over the last 12 month's. I hope we get away with it, but I doubt we will.


That's not been said before...

And you are? Apart from being a prick?
 
Just watching the special football focus on transfer deadline night and the guy just said:

"Negrado to Valencia on loan, not with an option to buy, but an obligation to buy?"

What does that mean & why - anyone know?

I mean an obligation to buy???? Why not just a permanent sale? (is it cos he's currently injured?)
