I'm beyond pissed at this. You *****/moan about the GD buy-back option, and then you have the opportunity to buy him back FOR LESS than what you sold him for, and let him go to a GD direct rival.
It's absolutely inexcusable.

the big problem is that they bought özil for 50 million... they have a great midfield and it is hard to justify another multi million deal without upgrading the positions with much bigger needs...
I still think that they overpaid big time for özil and that they would be happier with cesc but as a spurs "fan" I like it

Chelsea has really upgraded by selling David Luiz (big plus) and adding Diego Costa and Fabregas. I've always thought Cesc was overrated, but adding Costa while subtracting Luiz is big on its own.

I don't like it because I hate Chelsea. Do they even develop their own players anymore?
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
I know it's not an exact analogy to baseball's farm system because of the sport structures, but I apply the same general principles. They don't necessarily have to have signed the player to his initial professional contract. But if he goes straight onto the A-club roster when he's acquired or if he's already been playing at the same level, they don't get credit for developing him. If he's been playing at lower levels and gets farmed out on loan for awhile before making the top club, that would be similar to a baseball team trading for a high-minors prospect and giving him some more seasoning -- partial credit, I guess.
