Therein lies our problem. We cannot constantly compete when it comes to signing top quality like that. We have to find someone of a similar level who is a lot cheaper.

 

Cant wait til Rashid enlightens us all in this thread aswell. :wallbutt:

The only reason we weren't in for him is because Rafa is obsessed with squad players, he doesn't want players for the first XI. He wants to buy three slow and shit right-backs for 5 mill rather than paying 15 for an ace one.

 

That's spot on. Rafa doesn't care about the League but has worked out that the sure way to feed his obsession with CL success is with journeymen squaddies.

To be fair though, look at Chelsea's right backs since Abramovitch

 

Glen Johnson - 7mil - Shite

Ferreira - 13mil - Shite

Belletti - 6mil- Shite

 

All had huge hopes, huge prices, all proved absolute piss. We've had..

 

Josemi - 2mil - Shite (But cheap and sold a year later)

Arbeloa - 3mil - Good

Finnan - 3mil - Very good (I know its a GH signing, but he's shone under Rafa)

Kromkamp - around 2mil - average, but sold on for double 6months later

 

I think that goes to show that despite the huge money theyve spent at RB, they are no stronger than us whatsoever. Who's to say this Bosingwa will be any good? Probably a new flavour of the month portugues signing.

If spending 16 million on Bosingwa is competeing I don't ever want to.
