Hi guys, been lurching around for years on the site now. Great reading even with the negativity, it is all banter at the end of the day, we know we are the top club in England, fact, we proved that massively last year. I know it's not our money, and we shouldn't get to wrapped up in transfer news, but it's all good fun. Although who else is proud to be a Chelsea fan now we are showing great net spend compared to other top flight teams, i certainly am. We can brush of the stigma of "buying titles" and see it all as great investment. I personally see 2-3 more signings this year, maybe 1 youth, a wing back and a midfielder. Granted nothing spectacular, but depth.
Barkley would be a good English addition, in the market £40-50 million, is not a huge amount for a home grown premier league standard player, with great potential. Sorry for the wall of text. COYB!

This must be net spend, we've definitely spent more than that.
