Veron Released By Chelsea

I don't know about you, but the fact that Juan Sebastian Veron (a mercurial midfielder well known for playing poorly for English Premiership clubs) has been released by Chelsea is a bit of shock.

The shock is that I thought they'd sold him years ago. I had thought that Inter had bought him, but it appears that Inter loaned the on loan Veron to some club or other in Argentina.

Ho hum. Next stop: Hernan Crespo.

What is it about these Argentinians?

Money Isn't Everything...Even in The Premiership

You may well have several hundred million pounds to spend on a bright, shiny, new Premiership football club like Randy Lerner at Aston Villa. Or Eggert Magnusson at West Ham. Or even Thaksin Shinawatra at Manchester City.

The thing is, though: Manchester City, West Ham, Aston Villa. In the global football world, these are not exactly names to conjure with. Your average top class European footballer doesn't see any of these clubs as the way forward in their careers.

You can have all the money you want (as West Ham found out when they tried and failed to buy Darren Bent from Charlton), but it isn't going to do you any good if noone wants to come and play for your club.

Premiership football teams that are not challenging for Europe are just not an attractive proposition for the real talent in the footballing world. The Aston Villas and West Hams will end up with overpriced British players who aren't truly proven at Premiership level (Ie: Ashley Young). Alternatively, these clubs will get fading European stars attracted by offers of massive wages (as in the rumour of a move by Man City for Christian Vieri).

Money isn't everything...even in the Premiership.
