They had a solid defence to begin with though... something we haven’t had for a fair few seasons!
I suspect i transfer committee wasn’t needed to highlight those 2 potential signings...
Matic is also a vital piece in their jigsaw... he hasn’t been there a year yet!
I’m not jealous of Chelsea, I’m just a bit pissed off at the ease of another club needing certain players, and then actually going out and getting those exact players... seems so easy!!
That's because those clubs are willing to offer the wages required to attract top players.
It doesn't even seem to be a case of transfer fees with us, as both Fabregas and Costa both went at very reasonable prices. As did Sanchez. Alonso went for 8 mill, but we weren't in for any of these players bar Sanchez, who we seemed to give up on as soon as the whole 'London' thing came up.
Instead we pissed away on 'potential' again and then expect to win the league against far stronger teams.
Sorry for going slightly off topic, but it's pissed me off how we've gone about our business again.
