January Transfer window , Post here your wishes and other stuff

Middlesbrough. They need a decent goal scorer who doesn't need five chances before the first goal goes in. From tee to green they're playing the best I've seen for at least 8 years, but just can't hole out. Ideally, one that can lead the line and hold the ball against tough opposition

Could get worse before it gets better - triggered by King finally buying into the ownership! He's owns 50% more of the club, but Ashley has far more influence on the Board! Of course, King's purchase has been of zero benefit to the Club!

Both (factions, if you like) only have control of around 35% each. It does look like King etc would have the backing of the fans, coisty, Smith etc which would bring him nearer the 50% though.

Seats on the board should be a given now, if not they'll possibly trigger an EGM and remove Ashleys representatives. Methinks the removal of Laxleys reps could bite Ashley on the bum. But who knows.

It might not be of immediate benefit but if it secures the club and protects it in the short term it will be of benefit. King has said he will invest (as has Park etc) he just won't give the current incumbents the cash.

Not saying I support King over Ashley (that partnership might be a workable solution), but I do want the Easdales out.

you can take Danny Graham or Altidore from us in a neighbourly gesture mate

For us I'd just like a centre forward who knows how to put the ball in the net and a manager who goes out to win games

I'd be happy with a New goalkeeper and then keep the powder dry for the summer so we can strengthen some proper quality.

No point panic buying in january.

Yes and If they pay back the Russian what they owe him they be bust to many times to even try to count , only way they can spent like before is for the Russian to give them the money thats why this season they sold Mata for 37 million and Luiz for a Silly 50 million to fund the cecs and costa deal , years ago they would have kept both at chelsea then let a another club have them , only on loan would anyone get those 2 , things have change , don`t fool yourself it has not , clubs rule once , then came Bosman and later the Rich owners and now with recession every where comes new rules , FFP is here to ensure that what happen to leeds and Pompey do not become common place

Isnt the "fit and proper persons test" that was introduced "supposed" to make sure the above doesn't happen?

What a fine understanding of Chelsea's finances from the Forum's very own expert on the FFP regulations.



On the other hand it could just be the rantings of a bitter obsessive. Decide for yourselves.

Er....Twaddle!

Firstly, they don't owe 'the Russian' as it's all equity! He does, after all, own it lock, stock and barrel!

Secondly, they made about 4 time as much profit in 2013/14 as Arsenal did! http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/11/chelsea-fc-announces-annual-profit.html

There's certainly an element of FFP involved in driving some of their strategy, just like every other Club wanting to compete in Europe. But they've been pretty successful in managing both the Financial and the Football side of the business!

I agree. Best we've played for many a season. Really good to watch, going forward in droves and creating lots of chances. However, in the league I think we're lowest scorers from the top 6 (conceded the least though) so are obviously not putting away our chances. It's a tough one though as we don't want to upset the fluidity of the team when bringing new signings in. Plus I actually like Bamford, Kike and Tomlin as they all offer something different. I'd settle for keeping hold of our in demand gems like Reach above new signings. Also with all these management sacking it is imperative that we keep Karanka who is possibly our biggest asset.*

Correct but they cannot spent like before , those days are over , They have to carry on as now to stay within the FFP , that`s what the likes of Leeds and pompey did not , they just carried on spending without a plan and in the end they were forced to stop and very nearly went bust

UEFA, who proposed FFP, couldn't give a toss about the likes of Leed and Pompey! That wasn't what FFP was brought in for - but it was adopted and adapted to attempt to prevent such disasters.

Oh and Leeds and Pompey DID go bust - more than once in the case of Pompey!

Time you dropped the obsession! Chelsea don't actually need to spend big!

We need a centre forward now that Murray has gone back to Palace. Must be some decent forwards at some of the top teams that need a bit of first team experience ? Alternatively perhaps we can have Shane Long back where he belongs.

And scored today!
