Shouldn't we all thank Abramovich?

Question

He is a wonderful person who has been contributing loads financially to other teams world over thru buying players for astronomical figures and reselling them at beat down price. Isn't he such a wonderful charitable guy?

Every Shevchenko goal cost him 2.6 Million Euros. Milan gained 36 Million Euros from his sale and went on to win 3 trophies that year regardless.

Crespo, bought for 28 Mil Euros, on loan for 1 Mil

Duff, bought for 25,5 Mil Euros, sold for 7,5

Makelele, bought for 24 Mil Euros, left for nothing

Mutu, bought for 25,5 Mil Euros, fired

Veron, bought for 22,5 Mil Euros, left on a free loan

Parker, bought for 13 Mil Euros, sold for 9,75

Wright-Philips, bought for 31,5 Mil Euros, worth 11 now

Boulahrouz, bought for 12,75 Mil Euros, sold for 5,6

Sheva, bought for 44 Mil Euros, sold for 8

Ivanovic, bought for 18 Mil Euros and hardly played or plays

OFQ: Who lost out of the Sheva deal from the beginning to now (i.e taking in consideration the 44 Million AC Milan got in 2006 and the fact we won CL, World Club Champ n European Supercup in 2007) ??

Answer 1

Actually I feel sorry for him. He's spending millions and millions yet coming up empty handed.

Answer 2

hahahahaha very good point

abramvoic needs to start funding a real team like everton! as a wise caller from 606 commented, chelsea are more like a championship side who won the lottery

Answer 3

obviously, he should find a good GM :)

Answer 5

It is his money, so i don't really care, if it was anyone else's, we wouldn't of spent as much. But we do have A LOT of room for error in the transfer market, so as long as a few flops here and there who cares. More often or not we get it right.

Crespo played well for us at first, pity how his career ended up.

Duff was great at one point, then had a shocking season.

Makalele was well worth every penny.

Mutu..sniffing b*****d. He has to pay us compo

Veron..flop unfortunately

Parker..no room.

SWP...no room either.

Boularouz..wasn't that good to begin with.

Sheva..should of never been brought in, was Romans own buy anyway.

Ivanovic..hes got soo much potential..but there's no way he'd start infront of Terry, Carvalho or Alex..or any of the fullbacks for that matter. I was thinking, maybe Milan should of loaned him instead of Senderos.. :s

We made money on Robben at least :D

That 40M we payed for sheva obviously went very far in getting you guys to the UEFA Cup though..

Answer 6

it would be better if that money actually got him somewhere in the premier league table

Answer 7

I see you've done your homework. If I can add something... don't forget they managed to rob 13.5m back off Mutu recently.

Btw Ivanovic is busy at the US Open, and I would have bought her just to have a perv. :P

To be honest I never looked at it that way, and you make a good point.

Answer 8

Money isn't everything in football
