Anyone else notice how tepid most of the criticism about Chelsea's soending spree has been. I am not talking about anyone on this board. I am talking about journalists, supporters, etc. Where is the derogatory name based on the owner's national origin? Where is the speculation over the owner's ethics and morals based on how much money is being spent? Where is all the yelling and screaming about bringing in all those foreigners for big money instead of giving the youths who have come through the ranks an opportunity? The most damming criticism I have seen is that it is a risky strategy.
Maybe everyone is waiting until this weekend to start but I have not seen it yet. I am not trying to be all whatabout-ism. Just something I have noticed. I think we have to be honest and say if other clubs both in and out of the EPL had went on a similar spree they would have been CRUSHED!
