Nobody accused us of buying the title when we bought Frank.... :S
£11m from West Ham in 2001/2002.

At least drug boy kept out of Brothels.... mind you, spose he was a romanian model.... He was only 14.7 million I think.... Well something like that, but it didn't work out unfortunately.

He was no good for us before, who know what will happen in the future. But I think that one is a little hypocritical. Don't know who you support but if you're defending Rooney... United paid a lot more than we did for Veron, so I'd say he was more of a flop at Old Traffor....
> the scott parker flop.
Scott Parker was genius last season. And has been this season. He's just injured....
> kezman aint scored much
Kezman doesn't play. That's the one time I disagreed with Mourinho. Kezman gets his goal and finally some confidence (cocky penalty) and then he doesn't give him a run in the side.... Stupid man. Ah well, spose I'll let him off. Look at Kezman's record, you don't score that many by being awful, so I'm sure he'll start scoring soon....
> drogba was out for ages.
Explain to me how that makes him a flop. Didn't look like a flop last night.... (no jokes please...)
> your best player,mr lampard, was already at the club.
What about JT.
> SO DONT TELLUS CHELSKI ARENT TRYING TO BUY THE TITLE.
Surely you just contradicted yourself, saying our best players were already at the club. JT was homegrown (hurrah) and nobody moaned at us for trying to buy the title when we signed him....
Methinks everyone is jealous.... awww.....
*Stops being patronising....*
:D

That's the point Mourinho was making. He doesn't want big players, and to be fair to him, he hasn't bought any. He's just used money to buy these smaller players. I guarantee spurs could have bought all of the players we bought for half of the price, it's only because we are Chelsea that we had to pay so much.
How many of you had heard of Ricardo Carvalho before Euro 2004? Or Paulo Ferreira? (no doubt someone will come on and say they stay up til 4am every thursday watching portugese league games...) How many people actually rated Didier Drogba? Or had heard of Tiago? Or Jiri Jarosik?
These were all relatively small players compared to today's world of Zidane's and Gerrard's. (PLEASE COME TO CHELSEA STEVIE. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A BIG NAME PLAYER) Was that out loud....?
Anyway we just got ripped off, but we didn't buy big names, so you can shut up about buying the title. Mourihno moulded that team. We could have had a team of champions, but that wouldn't win you anything. You need a champion team. A what a cliché....
> Cech the super centre back?
I class the keeper as part of the defence as well, he's the one 'defending' the goal primarily.
Tell you what. £3.5 million + Nunez and Diao for Rio, and we'll give him £40,000 a week, plus a chance to write on Cisse's cast in purple felt-tip. Deal or what?
> daily express reckons Rio will move to chelsea next year on 125K
> a week wages.
Therein lies the problem.
As much as I like Cezchs like Baros and Berger and Poborsky and Rosicky, I wish Cech would get injured so Cudicini could get back in the team. Wizard keeper, that guy.
