| Has Manchester United and Chelsea ruined the premier league?
This is mostly in regards to clubs being able to buy quality players and more importantly keep their home grown talent.
Now a lot of manchester united fans will probably think that Chelsea are worse for this... but the truth is that Man Utd started it all and Chelsea just took it to the extreme.
Manchester United - Although not many of the tranfers worked, they did have a habit between 1995-2003 (pretty much on their own) of poaching other clubs talents. Dwight Yorke and Wayne Rooney are 2 of the 'better' examples.
Clubs like Liverpool/Spurs are trying to keep up with this trend, but they cannot do it, Spurs fans are more realistic, some Pool fans are totally deluded that they can compete at the top level.
Anyway... in short, it pains be to see great players that MU and Chelsea have going to waste - SWP and (What was Alan Smith) are 2 good examples. |
