It is a decent article. The best hope that I think the Premiership has is that they self implode. More and more I think the signings that are being made are not typical 'Mourinho' signings. As good as Shevchenko is, £30 million is a scandalous amount to pay for a 30 year old whose value will depreciate greatly over the next couple of years. Unless Chelsea win the Champions League (which is by no means guaranteed) they will not see any impact from Shevchenko.

For all the money Blackburn spent, they still had a manager in Dalglish who could pluck players for next to nothing (Le Saux for £300k and Tony Gale on a free) and they made a profit on every player they sold.

Chelsea are just playing fantasy football and it will catch up with them.
