True. In Spain they can all "play" football, in England they are stronger and more likely to just kick the ball away (although it was worse a few years back).

Chelsea have a bad reputation among fans for hoarding talented attacking midfielders and causing their careers to stagnate. These players who choose to sign for Chelsea over a slightly smaller club are criticized for chasing money instead of regular playing time.

Ahead of Financial Fair Play's implementation, fans wondered how Chelsea were going to cope. They'd spent years spending freely, often on highly priced flops like Fernando Torres and Andrey Shevchenko. And even in the post-Roman Abramovich vanity buys era, they made a habit of creating a huge squad and loaning the players they didn't need to various corners of the globe. They're still doing it.
Chelsea's (http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/teams/chelsea) critics are being proven wrong on all of these fronts. This strategy isn't causing Chelsea to come up against FFP regulations, it's making them money. It's also not ruining the careers of talented players, but elevating them. Chelsea are smart, and they're playing the transfer market game better than any other club of their status.
Andre Schürrle is the latest Chelsea luxury buy to have his status in the football world elevated by his move to Stamford Bridge, even if he didn't play particularly well when he was there. He went from a starring role at Bayer Leverkusen to a bit-part one with the Blues, regularly struggling to get shots on target when he did play. His reward for this was a £22m move (http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31087979) to Wolfsburg, who reportedly increased his wages. The £18m (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2340971/Andre-Schurrle-joins-Chelsea-18m-Bayer-Leverkusen.html) Chelsea shelled out for Schürrle 18 months earlier was widely seen as an overpay.
He joins Kevin De Bruyne as a player who Chelsea signed even though they didn't need him, then sold for a solid profit after a string of very average performances. De Bruyne joined for £7m (http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7467271/Genk-confirm-De-Bruyne-sale), then moved to Wolfsburg for £16.5m (http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7467271/Genk-confirm-De-Bruyne-sale) shortly after arriving.
Juan Mata (http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/players/141784/juan-mata) was thought of as a more necessary pickup when he joined Chelsea for £23.5m (http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/14600979), and the club was criticized when they flipped him to rivals Manchester United (http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/teams/manchester-united) for a tidy profit at a fee of £37m (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25882972) two and a half years later. Since joining United, Mata has been a solid, if unspectacular attacker who's yet to live up to his price tag or match the level of performance he attained at Chelsea.
NOT RUINING THE CAREERS OF TALENTED PLAYERS, BUT ELEVATING THEM
Even the players who haven't worked out well for Chelsea aren't costing the club much money, are making good salaries for themselves and will have chances to move on to smaller clubs where they'll be given bigger roles this summer. Marko Marin and Victor Moses (http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/players/112513/victor-moses) have been disappointing, but aren't currently having their wages paid by the Blues, and will have markets for their services in the summer. They were relatively inexpensive gambles for Chelsea that didn't pay off, they're costing the club nothing right now, and they'll probably collect some sort of fee in the summer.
And what about the supposed luxury buys that haven't been shipped out? Willian and Oscar, supposed overpays at £30m (http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/23814060) and £25m (http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/18990002) respectively, are two of the club's most important players. If Chelsea chose to move on from either player this summer, they could get their money back for Willian and make an enormous profit on Oscar. They were panned as unnecessary purchases by a team with more money than sense and weren't expected to crack a team that featured the also newly-purchased Eden Hazard (http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/players/156726/eden-hazard)and Marin, along with Mata, but quickly became integral parts of the side.
Juan Cuadrado came in this winter to replace Schürrle, at a reported fee (http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31103597) of right around what Wolfsburg paid for Schürrle, and on reportedly lower wages as well. The club was interested in Cuadrado this summer, but chose not to jump on the post-World Cup (http://www.sbnation.com/world-cup-2014) hype train. The result of waiting until January -- when transfer fees are usually elevated -- was getting Cuadrado on a reasonable fee. With six more months run off his contract and the World Cup no longer fresh in anyone's mind, Chelsea didn't have to break the bank.
Heading the other way on loan was Mohamed Salah (http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/players/241981/mohamed-salah), just 12 months after joining the Blues. He got a big wage hike after leaving Basel, was a useful backup for Chelsea for a year, and will now get a chance to start every match for a Fiorentina side chasing a Champions League place. If they buy him from Chelsea, they'll probably pay more than the £11m (http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25868272) Chelsea had to spend to bring him in.

All of this stands in stark contrast to the dealings of the club Chelsea are most often compared to -- Manchester City (http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/teams/manchester-city). England's other oil-rich club with plenty of history, but none as a top club, has actually been found to be in violation of Financial Fair Play. They didn't find ways to keep Scott Sinclair's value high, but simply buried him, much like they did with Jack Rodwell. They didn't find someone to take Stevan Jovetic before buying Wilfried Bony (http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/players/173929/wilfried-bony), but simply kept him and left him off their Champions League squad :wow. They're wasteful, both with their money and talented players' careers.
Chelsea are not hoarders, career killers or a wealthy oligarch's plaything. They're a football club run as a legitimate business, they're making a profit by playing the transfer market game better than anyone else, and they're elevating young attacking players in the process. They're much more Udinese than Real Madrid, and they're really good at it.

It's true though. Why are people mocking Piers for saying this? (although he is fun to mock)

Kane is excelling in a team where there aren't a lot of star power. He isn't going to make the Arsenal bench.

Edit and format it. Change the color of one letter to black so it would look like the cunt that Szczesny is.

Scrubs play harder when there's a bigger target. Much like NBA scrubs play harder when they're playing a defending champion or a heated rival.

Yeah he's slightly better than Akpom at this point but only because of experience.

Just because he scored a brace against Arsenal means that he's good enough to make the Arsenal roster.

FA Cup Quarter Final Teams:

West Brom, Reading, Blackburn, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Bradford, Arsenal (unless they screw up big time vs Middlesbrough, which I guess is plausible) and either Preston or Man Utd.

Looking at that group, it's conceivable that Arsenal could potentially repeat :wow

What do you think Arsenal fans? Repeat or choke?

They'd probably choke against Man Utd after dominating the game, like earlier this season.

Saying that, they'll probably win either way, like usual at the last minute.
