Yeah so we had a bad start. We had alot of injuries plus we never replaced Vieira.
I just feel Chelsea have ruined the game. Noone can buy a player without having to wait for Chelsea to make a bid or not and whether you want to believe it or not, you bought the Premiership.
In the sense that we wouldnt have won it in the time we didwithout Abromovich's money, then yes, i must admit you're right. But to say nobody can buy a player without Chelseas approval is ridiculous. We have our squad, it's now a case of catch us if you can. Also, we do not get everyone we want as everyone has been led to believe. Just because we
could afford to spend 80 million on Shevchenko or Adriano doesn't mean we will, otherwise it would have happened by now. Chelsea do not have much more of a chance to strengthen their squad as other players, as as soon as we try to sign a player, the price doubles because the club knows we can afford it. We're becoming alot more sensible with money, and only spend excessive amounts of money when we're forced.
In my opinion, Chelsea's money and sheer quality has raised the english game. Look at the money invested in the big clubs this season to try and keep up with us, and the quality of the players in the premiership is the best since it's creation. Newcastle spent more money than us this summer, Liverpool came pretty close, it's not as one sided as people may have you believe.
