Essien another Drogba

GoonerMan · Jul 5, 2005

whoever chelski buy they will pay way over the top for because teams see them coming from a mile off. drogba was over rated because he had a decent season and same as essien. paying the amount that chelski payed for drogba shud have warrented a much better input from the player last season and alot more goals. therefore he flopped. but he has more time

As for your post - its even more irrelevant than the first one in this thread. Because the point is that it doesn't matter how much money was spent on Drogba relative to his market value, because $$ isn't a constraint for Chelsea at the moment. You may dislike that, but its true. Feel free to whine about it if you like. But realize that judging Drogba as a "bust" because we "overpaid" is stooopid.

This is too true. I'm tired of all the complaining about Chelsea's money. They've got it, and we don't (though most teams in the premiership would love to have our funds).

But, it will be enjoyable watching their fall, whenever it is.

You're right. 99.99999 was excessive. 99.999 is a much more accurate number.

And since the other 0.001% are encased in concrete blocks at the bottom of the Volga, Abramovich has nothing to worry about.

Just because Chelski can afford to pay overly large sums doesn't mean that the player wasn't 'overpaid'. If I was a millionaire, I could afford to pay $100 for a Hershey bar. Just because paying that amount of money didn't significantly effect my bank account doesn't take away from the fact that I paid waaayyyy to much for that Hershey bar. Same basic economics apply to Chelsea. If they paid the wages for a player of Class A ability and got a player that performed at a lower Class B, they overpaid for that player. Bank reserves isn't an issue.
