This is my first stab at web journalism, and I really like the feel of it so you can rest assured I will most certainly write again. And I will definitely add a generous dollop of neutrality next time around too. See you guys when I see you

I wonder why we care in the first place

Overall, Karan, hope you write again mate, although picking a more neutral topic next time would at least get the bias accusations out of the way (which really take the conversation no where, as do Sid’s comments, who only comments here to bitch, not to add to the discussion).

Furthermore, your argument regarding RVD’s success is severly flawed. You claim RVD was brought in and turned into a star, whereas Chelsea failed
to make Kezman a household name. You claim this is representative of the entire argument. However…

the real argument exists where Chelsea does not believe Nani has a good reputation before being bought for that much money. Whereas the RVD/Kezman debate is based on how the clubs coached or did not coach them into stars, the question of Nani is totally different: Chelsea believes Man Utd overpaid, Man Utd believes Nani will be a stud.

Therefore, erally, your entire argument is flawed based n an example that doesn’t even hold merit with the point of the article. A club’s ability to turn RVD into quality or destroy Kezman’s career has no ties to wheter or not a club feels a pleyer was overpaid for or not.

I suggest that before you pen your enxt baised article, you actually take the time to find an example to your argument apprpriate enough to highlight your thoughts, rather than grasping for straws in an attempt to pin the tail on Chelsea as the root of all evil in buying expensive players.

UTD never commented ..they proved they were the best in the field thats where a great club is differentiated from a club which achieved greatness through overnight money and no hardwork…utd is known to develop great young guns..chelsea is a suicide for so many players….we reigned in the EPL throughout 90s through bunch of kids who became footballing legends….we gave new life to king eric…(brilliant footballing brain from the great sir alex)..unlike chelsea who bought success through hijacking players ,utd executives,….by paying huge cash….some ridiculous spending such as 21mill for SWP,24mill for drogba(miserable for 3 years),27 mill for essein (man utd find),12mill for mikel and 15mill for veron spoiled and ruined duff,kezman,gudjhonsen,etc…utd also flopped with veron..becoz he could not find place in utds first team thats all,forlon the same problem,about kleberson he was considered to bet the best for brazil..infact before chelsea going for african and south american players it was united which started bringing these players into EPL,kleberson could not adapt and he did not prove to be a loss,…..in the case of anderson who unlike kleberson has european experience with porto and a great talent nani has been an exceptional talent and it seems a great investment becoz they are here not to create instant success but history (take note of that chelsea)….chelsea cannot groom any world beaters…they can just hijack players..so they have to be very cautious about commenting infact im not bothered about them because…barking dogs seldom bite..the way they are having mind games like their boss their scout all having a dig on man utd itself suggest that they more than their football skills believe in all these cheap mind games which is a symtom of surrender,and reconfirms my staunch belief that no matter how many roman come and invest billions in chelsea, they cannot dethrown united who are the kings of ENGLISH FOOTBALL( through hardwork,adeptness and moreover through footballing ethics).

This has obviously been SAF’s goal, and obviously Chelsea comment on that, and of course they’re not too impressed. That’s the way of the media. But he did say that Nani has what it takes, as long as he can get his **** together, which obviously he will at OT as so many youngsters have done before him. He’s at the perfect club for a player of his talent, and so is Anderson (who no one doubts btw).
