Yh some of my arsenal heads are happy and some Chelsea heads are unhappy.
Most of Chelsea's arrivals have 6-9yr contracts and on relatively low wages. Murdyk ,for example, is 88m/8.5yrs. That's under 11m per year and he's only on 100k.
This shows Boelhy is willing take advantage of a practice is rarely utilised in the sport. Also shows his faith in the scouting and coaching department that they won't turn into liabilites, so get used to Potter.
It's also another example of Kroenke's reluctance to spend. Top of the league, now is the time to go for the jugular. 88m for a guy on 100k is peanuts to a club of arsenaL's stature. Having said that, the window isn't closed yet.
