What would Mourinho have said about the antics of Paulinho and Adebayor at the weekend............I reckon they would have been sacked on the spot.

I'm trying to understand why the hell they got rid of Lukaku. 21 years old with bags of future. Instead they have a 50 year old Drogba and no spring chicken Remy for backups to Costa. Very stupid decision. I'm delighted that he's not with Chelsea for his sake, he's far better off with everton. Chelsea are just really really good at offloading good young strikers with a bright future, first Sturridge and now Lukaku and for that reason we can laugh at them.

Just read a headline quoting jm as saying those clubs who breach ffp should be docked points. Whilst it's easy to agree, the irony is incredible. Which he's fully aware of the trolling bastard.

Mourinho said that Costa cant play 3 games in a week and that he needs 6/7 days to rest his hamstring

Surely he cant be Ledley King's level already

Only a matter of time before Piazon, Chalobah and Thorgan Hazard are sold too.

Yeah, but those sales would make a bit more sense, as their midfield/forward group has a bit more future about it than their strike group. Surely if any of those players you mentioned starting showing some real ability, they'd get rid of the likes of Ramires and Mikel before sending them young lads packing. It's like they don't know the meaning of the word "future." They really do seem strangely incapable of recognising promising talent.

The irony is that if the rules exisited earlier Chelsea would never have won any leagues or CL title.

The only reason Chelsea are able to compete now whilst adhearing to FFP is because of years of huge overspending without any comeback

Think gb spurs has this covered already, just apply a wider perspective and you'll not be far off. The trouble with ffp is that the oil rich clubs will circulate established top level talent among themselves. If those morons hadn't valued David Luiz at 50 mill that might well have restricted the Russians spending.

It's a good job Chelsea have money to buy players, because I tell you what, they have got no idea what they're doing with their young/undiscovered talent.

First we have Daniel Sturridge. They bring him in in 2009, keep him for 4 years except for a 2011 half season loan spell at Bolton where he only features 12 times in the league. 4 years and only a half season loan spell? Yeah, that's really good for development. Then they hand him over to Liverpool last year where he has since excelled.
Great work Chelsea development team (y)

Next it's Romelu Lukaku. Brought him in in 2011. They handled his development through loaning far better than Daniel, but it seems they did underestimate what he could become. If they were ever in any doubt, loan spells at West Brom and Everton from 2012-14 should have left no doubt in their minds as to his ability in the top flight and his very promising future. So what do they do? That's right. They sell him. Pure madness. Why not just loan him again for the season? That way when Drogba finally dies, they could bring him in along side Costa for next season. I difficult to imagine they sold him because they're desperate for the money.

Chelsea could have had THIS very enviable strike force this season and for further seasons to come:
  • Diego Costa
  • Daniel Sturridge
  • Romelu Lukaku
Lastly we have Ryan Bertrand who is still with them. This is an example of the other end of the spectrum: hanging onto players for far too long and is just evidence that they don't appear to know what they're doing. 25 years old and well, this graphic should explain everything:

That's just ridiculous. They let Lukaku and Sturridge go but they keep Bertrand! For ALL THIS... we can laugh at Chelsea.
