Hot on the heels of one of our rivals going on about us buying our success, it looks as if we just might be giving them something else to write about. Or will we?
I suppose the answer to that depends on Carlo Ancelotti because whilst Chelsea have confirmed he can have more money if he wants it, so far this summer, despite increasing injuries and a decreasing squad, he’s only spent £5m on Yossi Benayoun.
Following our recent spate of injuries, Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay has said “If Carlo wants to bring a player or two into the squad then we will look at that. It has to be the right player to fit into the squad and obviously at the right price. If these things all come together then fine, we’ll strengthen the squad. But only if Carlo feels it’s necessary.”
However, whilst I could happily spend a few million or sixty on the club’s behalf, Ancelotti so far seems to be a bit more prudent. He’s already made a few vague comments about our double-winning squad still being good enough but with that squad a little more depleted and the nod to shore it up a bit, will the Chelsea boss have anyone in mind to spend the money on?
