Am i the only one who has been having issues accessing Nairaland lately?

Not only you fam.

It's an MTN issue.

Since I have switched to Airtel, it's been flawless so far.

Havertz10:
i dont think net spend matters, cause we were lucky to get rid of a few players, we aren't bringing in enough good players into the team that become mainstays, chelsea used to have a core, every teams needs a core, drogba, lampard, cole, terry and cech, you can add players on the side but those players were mainstays in the team, now the team keep moving from player to player, i'm tired of strikers, even haaland self might end up flopping

You are right though about core players in the team.

raumdeuter:

City is using Zinchenko, Chelsea don buy Palmieri, Alonso, Chilwell for Left back. SHey you think say na only you sabi play that game
City is still using Aguero and Jesus while you have bought Morata, Batsuayi, Werner, Giroud since that time

None of them won UCL twice without being honoured by FIFA, unlike Boathand. Fifa never honoured Boathand because he was terrible on the pitch.

How many times did Raul, Scholes Muller and Giggs win the CL?

So when Raul became the 3rd best player in the world, it was Ogbomosho FA that honoured him.

That is why you have to see the comedy in Chelsea fans claiming its because of money or lack of money why they are so far behind City in the past 5yrs

You will see Chelsea fans like the one above claiming one is board signing one is coach signing
City 3rd 1st 1st 2nd likely 1st
Chelsea 1st 5th 3rd 4th fighting for 4th

That is the result of 50M difference in spending

What's the difference in net spend? We are talking difference of £500m.or above.

Where Pep bought to add to his KDBs, we had to sell out Hazards and co to even come within £50m spend of him.

This is the luxury which makes a telling difference on the pitch. That's why our expensive signing like Havertz is a do-or-die affair while for same price Cancelo is just another player added for Pep

It is only someone who likes to lie to himself just to win senseless arguments that will compare Chelsea transfers with that of city.

If we had not sold hazard and Morata, I can bet my life savings that Chelsea will not spend the money they spent to buy Havertz and Co.

Roman no dey give free money again. Those days are long gone.

The net spend argument has an inherent flaw because it assumes both teams are starting on equal footing in marketable assets and contract situation

Did you consider the age of the team Pep inherited vs the age of the team at Chelsea? He inherited the 3 oldest team in the whole league while Chelsea was relatively younger
So what transfer value was he expected to get from selling Yaya Toure, Kompany, David Silva, Sagna, Zabaleta Clichy, Joe Hart, Demichelis

Chelsea had the luxury of inheriting a young team off a huge spend in previous years while Pep inherited an old team that needed to be overhauled

Chelsea spent, City Spent about 50M difference and the difference between them on the field is heaven and earth

What transfer value did Chelsea receive from old cargoes like Terry, Cahill, Pedro, Willian and Fabregas who were mostly starting players in the team when Pep joined the league.

Pep has told you his money is making the difference and you are still arguing.

Pep has told you his money is making the difference and you are still arguing.

In 2015/16 season Man city was the 18th oldest squad in the league while Chelsea was 7th. That is the fact meaning there were more younger players in Chelsea than in Man city, which means the younger players have a higher resale value.

Chelsea was able to sell Cortouis for profit while everyone in Europe from Torino, West Ham Burnley was tossing Joke Hart around

Pep said money is making the difference because he spent his own well, Why is this money not making a difference for Chelsea? Answers lie in fees for Bakayoko, Zapacosta, Morata, Harvetz, Werner, Palmieri etc

You spend 250M in 2016/17 to finish 5th, this season you spent another quater of a billion to be fighting for top 4

If in 2016 we both got $10k gifts, you invest yours in bitcoin, I invest mine in MMM

Congratulations to Pep for buying better than Marina.

And yet, he still spent more than Marina.

Go and ask City what they declared to UEFA as Danilos value to make Cancelo fee £60m. If you are suggesting they did wuruwuru on Danilos transfer fee, it's no wonder they they keep getting dragged to court for financial doping.

City spent just 50M more than Chelsea and their results is like heaven and earth

Chelsea is like the parable of the talent guy who buried his own talents and was pointing at someone who spent his own better
Its actually funny to see Chelsea fans of all fanbases to be pointing fingers at someone spending money

2016/17 Chelsea 93 City 78 = -15
2017/18 Chelsea 70 City 100 = +30
2018/19 Chelsea 72 City 98 = +26

Pep knew they are very salty that he has turned the EPL into punching bag and he always gives them what they like

If you ask Pep that does he think he developed his players to be better, he will likely say the players develop themselves at home and he is just paid to sit and admire their football

City got Danilo for 27m GBP (30m euros) in 2017 and sold him in 2019 for the same amount. If you are saying they did wuruwuru when selling him to Juventus then RM did wuruwuru when selling him to city. Meanwhile, this Cancelo was also a squad player for Inter and Juventus. I just needed to add that.
