Transfers and their Stature Implications

[sharonorn]

After what many fans seem to consider the bemusing choice of Chelsea to invest over 25 million on another attacking minded player in Anzhis Willian, the questionable motives of this transfer seem particularly key. As the effects of stealing the Brazilian International from under the noses of rivals Tottenham, may not effect the bank balance so directly but give a startling impre sion of the method behind the apparent Chelsea madne s to sign him. This signing as many are was not only about securing the player but giving a sense that as close as Willian was to joining the Lilywhites that Chelsea barged in and stole the player. Even though the transfer came to nearly 30million it seems that they were more than willing to complete this transfer more than Tanner Roark Jersey anything to put Tottenham in their place in the minds of Chelsea fans and the deal was hugely popular around Stamford Bridge for this reason. Not only this deal has this implication, the obvious effects of 24 million man, Robin Van Persie, last season were not only about Manchester United winning the league and taking Arsenals best player to subsequently weaken them but there was a larger than life effect on the Arsenal fans to really hammer home to them the fall they had taken that they were no longer on a par with Manchester United and not only boosted and stature of United but left the Gunners feeling dejected and inferior. Several examples exist of such stature implications in transfers, Manchester Citys raid from Arsenal was clear to push Arsenal down the Premier League hierarchy as Adebayor, Clichy, Nasri and Toure left North London for Manchester that was not so pivotal on Carter Kieboom Jersey weakening Arsenal due to the money they gained but the rejection of staying at the Gunners to move to City was painful for many fans to take. These deals are common, when Real Madrid have previously bought players with the key intention to stop their rivals having them but to promote their own image as a bigger club, which Chelsea have tried to do over Spurs with the Willian transfer a vast amount of money to waste on such a project but such is the way that the sport is driven by egos with bottomle s pits of money.
