I don't understand how everyone has it set in their mind that Chelsea have loads to spend? When did that happen? Last I checked they have been making cheap/value signings ever since Roman Abramovich told Chelsea that they should be self sufficient.. They signed Zirkhov for around the same amount of money we signed Valencia for.. They are getting rid of Cole, Ballack, Baletti, Deco etc to make space for whom? Benayoun? Are you fecking kidding me? Chelsea are as Financially tight as we are..
P.S I think we can easily afford Ozil and IF SAF is interested we should be the ones snapping him up unless Barca or Madrid have something to say about it.. And since we have more or less come to the conclusion that almost all of the other clubs can either not accommodate or afford him I would be very bullish on this transfer going through.. Once again that is if SAF is interested..
Also I don't know why but there is still something very iffy about Ozil.. I can't quite put my finger on it though..
Those were the rumours around MArch or so, that Roman was presparing a summer war-chest of 150m or so. Could well be bogus. Then again, he desperately wants the CL, so who knows?
Letting 3 of his roster go to trim the wage bill and clear up squad space for new talent suggests the rumours were true. We'll have to wait and see of course.
