Meh. Couldn't care less who Roman Abramovich FC buy next or what honours they buy. It's all hollow, and the best thing about it, no matter how much their fans protest and say it isn't, when they go home and think about it, they know full well anything they "achieve" in the game is down to their sugar daddy's billions.

Our resident Brazil boy said £20m was far too much for this kid. Good enough for me.

It doesn't matter what it is down to, they still achieved it. Real Madrid have been subsidised By local and some say national government for years. It doesn't detract from their record 9 European cup wins.

They didn't achieve jot. A Russian bloke bought it all for them. It's like playing football manager with the cheat enabled. Tedious.

Funnily enough I admire Abramovich as a person, even though he has been rubbish for football.

Thats a bit OTT :ROFLMAO:

They'll be interesting to watch for the first time since Vialli was in charge but there's going to be some mid season shenanigans when some of the players realise they're not going to get a game.

So with the outs it is a 23 man squad as Caulker, Townsend and Kane don't count as the rest do

How can Ross Turnbull qualify as a youth player when he is 27 years old?

Damn he must suck as I only seen him play once & heard him playing maybe 6 times more.
Well, in his defence the only thing we know is that he's not as good as Cech - and few are. He was first choice keeper at Boro for a season before going to Chelsea, but really he plays so rarely that we don't know how good he'd be for a club say in the bottom half. He's clearly happy picking up a solid pay check for being the understudy to a goalie that rarely gets injured.
