Why do they just keep buying very good players, when they could buy excellent players with the near "unlimited" funds they have to spend with. I mean, they've just bid 24 million for Drogba, OK he is a very good striker, but, quite frankly, Chelsea could easily do better. Your views on this?

Name an excellent player, that we:

a) haven't got
b) would actually leave their current club.

HAHA. Why on earth would we want him? All he'd do is start fights and demand more money. Drogba over him any day.

No.

> u cud hav got davids but inter got him(yay)

Would anyone choose him over Super Frank....?

> vieri could have been bought from us b4 we bought adriano

How many goals did he score in Euro 2004. Too old.

> owen would leave liverpool

HAHAHAHAAH. We said good players.....

> looks like vieira may leave

He wont. And even if he did in like 4 years time, he wouldn't come to Chelsea.

> the list is loooooong

No it's not.

I don't rate Didier Drogba quite as highly as everyone else seems to right now. Fair enough, he did have a brilliant last season in the Champions' League alone with Marseille - but, is that all it really was, this one-year?

I know he's still quite young, but how many people knew who he was before he made a name for himself in Europe? Is he really worth over £20m after one good season? We've seen this kind of thing happen many times before with players failing to deliver after one good year. Look at Michael Ricketts' Bolton-inspired move to Middlesbrough...

And, even after a number of years in Serie A and with Argentina, we found out Hernan Crespo was just an over-rated waste-of-space after all, didn't we. He couldn't cut it in the Premiership?

Will Drogba be the same? El-Hadji Diouf; Titi Camara... Not all players make the transition from French Football to the Premiership quite as smoothly as you'd like to hope - and, even after a good start, Fabien Barthez completely lost it.


They're currently tying up the deal for Marteja Kezman, and there's more speculation Ronaldo may be unhappy at Real Madrid - could indeed be the biggest single-player waste of money yet...

Why can't he be worth 20 million after one good season? Rooney had one good tournament and suddenly he's worth 40-50 million pounds

Heh, very good point! ;D

At least it's only Abramovich's money, and not United! ;)

Yea seeing as it's easier to get a degree in advanced quantum physics then it is to get money off the United board. (unless of course it's for the youth team in which case money is no object, i tells ya United will be wiping the floor with everyone come 2010 :-D)

12 goals from 21 starts is hardly a waste of space in a heavy squad rotational club.

And in the prem he only started 13 and scored 10.

Looks as if he's gone anyway.

Be sooooo funny if they get knocked out of the champions league with Crespo scoring morientes style!
