I agree about the disharmoney because that is starting to spread like wildfire. But they have been dealing with Robben's tantrums since he first arrived, and Joe Cole is a luxury as opposed to a neccessity. Not sure how the rest will pan out, but to me it looks ominous that they have played so badly and yet are so close to the top. It would be encouraging for us all to think that it could be like a domino effect and the whole empire will come crashing down, but I'm not sure its that clear cut.
There is a spitefulness which shines through their transfer policy. Its usually a case of they want someone to stop anybody else having him, rather than actually finding someone to serve their own means. This will only continue should players leave in January. If the stories are true that the West Ham takeover is collapsing, then the Argentines are on their way shortly after thedecorations come down. Where to remains a mystery, but who else would be able to place down large payments up front? The release clause rumours are legendary, but in any case you are looking somewhere in excess of £40m for the pair. Only Chelsea could do this.
