A New Era of Sensible Spending?

It seems Roman Abramovich is finally getting the hang of this transfer malarkey. Just 3 days into the transfer window, and after collecting £12m for the highly average Daniel Sturridge, the signing of Demba Ba from Newcastle for £7m looks all but done.

Back in October, it seemed Roman would be pulling out £50m to sign Falcao, but I for one am glad he hasn’t. Yesterday’s loss to QPR confirmed my suspicions that we was simply not ready for a title challenge this year.

Terry has been missing for three games now, and whilst we have shipped 9 goals in them games, we have still managed to win two of them.

It certainly seems like Di Matteo is adopting the ‘we’ll score more than you philosophy’.

Luiz has been partnered with Cahill for those games, and he has been marked as very doubtful for the Swansea clash by Di Matteo today, meaning that the likelihood is that Ivanovic will push across, giving Azpilicueta a chance to star in the right-back role.

Nine points. Eight goals. Three games. One new hero.

To say Eden Hazard has taken the Premier League by storm may be an understatement. He has set up six goals and scored one in the first three games, and now, Chelsea fans have a three week break to take some deep breaths, and calm themselves down.

With former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas taking charge of Tottenham today, there are rumours that he is interested in taking Daniel Sturridge along with him as one of his first signings.

There is talk of a £10m bid being lodged, as AVB is apparently going to be given a £70m warchest to work with once Luka Modric has been sold. With us being in the market for Modric, could this work for us and could be negotiate a Sturridge + £ for him to join us? Im sure we will find out in time.
