Man U are trying to steal Hargreaves off Bayern Munich. Chelsea pobably won't sign anyone.

You cant say the same for chelsea - the best chelsea's detractors can hope for is that the players they have flop and they have to put up with them for max, half a season. I doubt someone like Heinze would have lasted as long at chelsea with his mistakes - and i doubt a player like fletcher would even get the CHANCE to develop as a player despite pressure of being at a high profile club.
You are basing these statements on nothing.

(2) Youth and youth systems. As hinted at before - although they havent had much real success - at least in the last 3 years (which we all hopefully agree is a start of a new era in the premiership, since abramovich took over chelsea) - ferguson has at least tried to bleed in fletcher, richardson, and to a lesser extent bardsley (before being shipped to rangers) rossi (newcastle), and wes brown. Chelsea? No one. For sure, no one. John terry i think is the only one that comes to mind thats been with chelsea his entire career. Both Arsenal and Man Utd use the lesser cup competitions to bleed youth players and such - for chelsea its a chance for swp, cudicini, wayne bridge and other international quality players to actually get a game.
He has owned the cub for less than three years. Do you really expect him to bring through brilliant talent in that time? Man U had a really lucky spell where hey managed to get a load of good young players in one go, that doesn't happen every day. In a few years you may be able to criticise in that regard, but not now.

(3) The Manager. Oh sure, Fergie is an arrogant mother ****er, and a prick to boot, not talking to the bbc all these years. But he has also assembled pretty much 3 completely seperate teams in his time in charge of Man Utd. He has played attacking football, bled youth, and shown acute transfer and tactical awareness - solskjaer fits in both categories, both in his fee, and his cameos (99?). Mourinho has came in - with a uc and a cl trophy under his belt - but with a fantastic history of leading a bunch of divers to success. Hes had to demonstrate NO transfer awareness given that he's been allowed a blank chequebook - and has wasted a shit load of money. Tactics wise, chelsea have been found lacking on several occasions and sheer brute force has won them games because of the quality of player they have, rather than the way he has them playing. He has been with chelsea only while the going is good - whereas ferguson has been close to the sack and earned his position as untouchable.
Either he's won throrough brute force or he's wasted a lot of money. Which is it?
