It would have decreased a lot. Drogba, Anelka; you're looking at 90k-120k each. Kalou, Bosingwa and Meireles; you're looking at 60k-80k each. Only Hazard has come in who will be earning a lot.

And yep, we do not pay AVB anymore.

what kind of wages are oscar, mata and hazard on too?

Hazard is on like 170k. Mata would probably be on around 70-80k. Could be less. Definitely not more. Oscar will be on around 50k.

Still think you're way too open defensively but City and Utd are poor right now so you're definitely a contender. A legit one? Still not sure. Would have been interesting to see where the game went at 2v2 with 11v11. Can't blame the ref for the first red card though but the 2nd ruined what was a genuine test for Chelsea as title challengers. If you're still with the pace after the xmas fixtures then yeah regardless of how well Chelsea, Utd or City are playing. Still think you'll go out of the Champions League at the group stage though. The European teams make you pay much better for the openness. We were exposing you more or less every chance going forward and we should have finished the match off before the red cards if our midfield could keep the ball better and defend a lead.

Other than that, I pretty much agree with what you're saying.

I can't remember it exactly but I remember teams putting an attacker in an offside position off free kicks and then running back and claiming they couldn't be offside. Or something. It was offside anyway.

If the attacker isn't interfering with play then it won't be offside.

As long as Chelsea are relying on Torres they'll fall short IMO. They're a Falcao away from being huge, huge favourites.

Was the goal disallowed for offside or for Coates climbing all over the defender. Obviously wasn't offside but it did look a clear foul by Coates.

celebration was brilliant.

Was disallowed for offside. Wasn't a foul by Coates either.

Football management? Easy.

how on earth do you send a team into administration in fm. Thats some serious mismanagement

@ Joel, Hazard is on about 170k, Mata is less than 70k.

[Kiz]

hazard a touch under 200k, Mata about 50k (no doubt will be looking at negotiations) and Oscar about 20k. Terry is on about 170k an Torres close to that.

[JOAL.com]

I think Torres is our highest earner. One of the top earners on earth, i think its higher than Ronaldo and messi in wages

So even after that transfer fee, hes still murdering us

Also, God bless Oscar and his minimum wage. I love that kid

It's strange, turns out those 48 month payments actually do come back to bite you.

Poor Wolves, it was a great climb but a tough fall. Made worse by the fact that I signed all of their best players with Madrid, which included Eriksen, Hazard, Doumbia, Balotelli, Doyle etc.

Doyle actually still outplayed Balotelli, scored a fucking brace away too Bayern the hero. Jamie O Hara and Roger Johnson were hilariously good.
