FC Porto a farm team for Chelsea?!??!

[Gooner_Milton]

Absolutely ridiculous.

First PSV, now Porto. What next? Juventus? Real Madrid?

'As part of the agreement ... Porto announce the establishment of a partnership with Chelsea for a period of five years, with exclusivity in the Portuguese market, with respect to the detection, training and promotion of young talent.'

Yeah I read this in France
With money you can do every partnership you want
****ing chelscum

Chelski can do what they want. They won't win anything like this.

 

[Gooner_Milton]

Hating Chelscum more and more each passing day.

They're everything that's wrong with modern football...greedy players, ridiculous transfer monies, player/coach poaching, arrogant fans, Peter Kenyon, professional actors like Makalele/Desaily.

I won't be surprised to see Carlos Alberto, Deco etc to sign at Chelski soon. They'll win great players !

 

[quattro]

doesn't matter. you can only play 11 players at a time.

 

[GoonerLuke]

**** Chelsea and **** whoever they decide to buy. Football is a team game, let them buy all the individual players they want. Arsenal is made up of teammates, Chelsea is made up of mercenaries.

 

[GoonerLuke]

. . . and yes, I am slightly bitter.

 

[Gooner_Milton]

I'm not bitter at all. Roman should know this isn't the way to run a football club. I'll give him a couple more trophyless years. Sooner or later he'll tire of his toy and throw it out the window. Hopefully, his shady business dealings will catch up to him before that ever happens.

yeah

 

[Soler]

Chelsea have no class

You've come to expect nothing better from them these days.

 

[Gooner_Milton]

No clue either.

I mean....Peter Kenyon?!!!

 

[KingReyes]

They can do as many partnerships as they want the ones they wanted the most they ain't gonna get. Wenger, Henry, Vieira etc.

 

[Mark]

Chelski can get great players but they will all need time to gel, and the board don't seem to understand that. Mourinho will probably go at the end of the season if they don't win anything, along with more players. They are a complete mess.

 

[MightyArsenal]

It can go two ways really, they can either improve upon last year and win almost everything or they will fail miserably and have won nothing having spent over 200 million.

 

[Gooner_Milton]

Rumor has it they're scraping their local youth system in favour of foreign 'partnerships'

would be interesting and a serious blow to English football if they really do that.
