Financially-Ill Chelsea To Axe Drogba, Malouda And Co This Summer
Chelsea’s Didier Drogba, John Obi Mikel, Florent Malouda, Yuri Zhirkov and Jose Bosingwa must watch out: the arrival of £50M Torres and €25M David Luiz may force the quintet to quit Chelsea this summer.
Billionaire Roman Abramovich played a dangerous game on the last day of the January transfer window. The Chelsea owner splashed £75M on the table to make last minute deals with Liverpool and Benfica for Fernando Torres and David Luiz respectively. Reports even claim that Chelsea had planned to hit the £100M transfer fee mark as they were looking forward to capture Anderlecht’s Romelu Lukaku for £25M.Ironically, a loss of £70M had been announced in the morning on January 31; so to hear the Blues spending so big in the evening sounded as a “illogical” and “insulting” to UEFA and to Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger who is known to be very cautious when it comes to financial matters. What are Chelsea’s plans, then, on the financial front?
