of course mate, it's called Stamford bridge and it'll be in ruins the day abramovich looses intrest and takes off on his shiny copter.
But seriously, these billionaire owners are going to make the premier league implode and all these forigners are going to destroy the English national team(if it hasn't already been for the last 42 years, and even that was kinda lucky then)

So who do we suppose is paying for Robinho?

Sinawatra with his frozen bank accounts who is about to sell up or this new group who haven't finalised the buyout yet?

And how will Man City's insurers feel about them spending 30m on a player without him undergoing a medical?

you're right, he's not bad, but when you consider we could have bought alves a couple years ago for what, 12 million? And that we supposedly rejected an offer of 7 or 10 million for Kuyt? and pennant?! at least play him, he showed signs of actually starting to play at one point, instead, we get the golden retriever playing out of position, as a winger, instead of pennant, who at least can be creative and get past a man occasionally!

True. We suck in the transfer market.

I think it's a season long loan at first.

It's more than that. You lack quality. Especially in defense things aren't looking too great. Add to that the fact Benitez is a retard and it just might be an awful season. I don't see Liverpool getting very far in the CL and they're miles and miles behind the top teams in the EPL.
