Man needs calculator…
Once again, Peter Kenyon has proved his worth as one of the lord God’s most unnecessary creations by insisting that Shevchenko might even have been a good bit of business for Chelsea.
“I’m not giving a lesson in accountancy,” he grumped, “but you do write money off over the term of a contract.”
It’s an interesting point. But, unfortunately, even without one of his important accountancy lessons, we can’t help but sense some slightly bad business in the sum below:
£28.1 million (Veron to United)
+ £7.5 million (Forlan to United)
+ £7 million (Smith to United)
+ £5.9 million (Kleberson to United)
+ £3.5 million (Djemba-Djemba to United)
+ £12.8 million (Saha to United)
+ £8 million (Tiago to Chelsea)
+ £8 million (Del Horno to Chelsea)
+ £21 million (Wright-Phillips to Chelsea)
+ £7 million (Boulahrouz to Chelsea)
+ £13.5 million (Malouda to Chelsea)
+ £30 million (Shevchenko to Chelsea)
= Whoops!

Sheva was Chelsea’s top scorer last season goals
per minute played way ahead of Frank Lampard
who was next best.

It’s sad the internet gives a voice to writers of drivel of articles like this. Sad.

Liam, if he was that great then why did Chelsea never play him? A guy can score one goal every ten minutes but if he only gets paid for half an hour a season then that doesn’t mean the club are getting their £30 millions worth.

THE PLAYERS WERE IDENTIFIED BY THE MANAGER, KENYON BROUGHT THEM IN AT THE PRICES THE PLAYERS CLUBS QUOTED
