    OK, maybe 'ambitious' was the wrong word:o

    Ive been saying for a while that our league position flatters us, it wont be so close next year if we keep up the half arsed performances, sometimes the league table does lie.
    But I think we've been found wanting at at right back far too often this season, so for me a world class right back is top of my wishlist(well, right behind Messi), that is of course if we can keep the rest of the squad intact throughout the transfer window.
    Your right about Benzema, I havnt seen much of him, but what i have seen I have been very impressed. Also there's no smoke without fire, if the whole of Europe wants him he cant be all bad, plus hes more likely to be available than say Etoo for example.
    I also said i could be wrong about Bosingwa and i hope i am, i just havnt heard of him thats all


    I'd imagine Eto'o would actually be more available to Chelsea than Benzema, the lad will have his choice of clubs and has already indicated fairly definatively that he favours a move to Barca or Real (Spain), then either AC or Inter (Italy) and then, a bit back, England. So not gonna happen.

    meh... if you think Ferreira is a poor player then don't get your hopes up. by the sounds of it most Porto fans would rate Ferreira as the better player.

    We need some wing forward spunk back in the team of the likes of Duff and Robben, there is only 5 letters I want to see at the bridge next season:

    its about proper use of the
    resources rather than increasing the spend if you ask me
    Chelsea dont need to spend £80m on new players, they only need 1 or 2
    Probably wont stop them doing it though.

    Exactly, thats what i was goin for,i made a fair ballz of it though:D

    Well if players like Ben Haim, Sidwell, Pizzaro and Belletti are the only ones leaving then we dont need big name signings to replace them, we should be bringing in youngsters. I think our biggest signing will be Drogbas replacement if he is going.

    Any plans for watching the game in Dublin. Would love to watch it with a majority of blues fans. Most pubs will be dominated by manu. ktbffh.

    Romans Rubles arent entirely free


    In all seriousness though, thats an astonishing creditors list the club has, 3/4 a billion is huge regardless of how much of that is owed to Roman.


    I was under the impression he was just a free spending nut? If he;s looking for money back then things could get interesting for Chelsea. Having said that, at least the "loan" is interest free, unlike Uniteds, who are paying the loan interests back using the gate revenues :(

    Chelseas "debt" looks meagre compared to uniteds.

    Well I've been saying this for a long time but people on here just dont listen at times. There is this notion that Chelsea is just a play thing and he will put it back down when he is finished. After pumping all that money into the club this is a long term investment by RA. We know he doesn't need the money but people like him dont think that way, we do because we dont have billions in an account!

    He has made an investment and sooner or later will want a return on that investment. He isn't stupid when it comes to cash. Either by hook or by crook he gatherd an obscene amount of wealth and unless your david beckham that takes a high degree of intelect. Chelsea will always have to repay that money, its just a question of when.

    Blue is the colour, football is the game
    We're all together and winning is our aim
    So cheer us on through the sun and rain
    Cos Chelsea, Chelsea is our name.

    Here at the Bridge, whether rain or fine
    We can shine all the time
    Home or away, come and see us play
    You're welcome any day

    Blue is the colour, football is the game
    We're all together and winning is our aim
    So cheer us on through the sun and rain
    Cos Chelsea, Chelsea is our name

    Come to the Shed and we'll welcome you
    Wear your blue and see us through
    Sing loud and clear until the game is done
    Sing Chelsea everyone

    Blue is the colour, football is the game
    We're all together and winning is our aim
    So cheer us on through the sun and rain
    Cos Chelsea, Chelsea is our name.

    hmmmm.... i personally wouldn't be surprised if it were the case that they are in the form of 'interest free' loans for tax purposes. Chelsea is a long long time away from being able to repay Abramovich. no doubt he wants them to overtake United in the long run and reap the returns, but i don't think he'd be foolish enough to burden the club before they are able to repay. remember, to someone as rich as Abramovich it's all just a game.

    Not according to Kenyon, the clubs assets are making huge waves and the adidas kit sponsership was worth 300mil I think, he reckons in 3 years Chelsea will be totally self sufficient
