| http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/chelsea-fanclub/ It makes such a refreshing change to see another club taking over the headlines where spending money is concerned – even if it is our players they’re planning to buy. Since taking over at Manchester City, the Abu Dhabi United Group have already signed Robinho in a deal that saw their financial clout muscle out a less lucrative offer from Chelsea, and statements of intent in the press suggest they continue to browse their Panini sticker book in search of next year’s signings. We’ve already had names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Essien, Steven Gerrard, Messi, Kaka, etc bandied about by the ridiculously rich Arabs and assuming they have the pull they seem to believe they have, we’re now being informed John Terry’s name will be added to their squad next year. Because, according to recent reports the ADUG are preparing a ‘bold bid’ for the Chelsea captain and are prepared to pay him around £200,000 a week for his services. As we all know though, John Terry has been at Chelsea for the past 13 years. He’s risen through the ranks over the years and his status at the club is now legendary, so would an increase of around £50,000 a week really persuade him to defect? I personally don’t believe it would. What really makes me smile about this particular ‘story’ though is the realisation that if these new City owners actually knew anything about football, it’d be our best centre-back they’d be after |
