Chelsea Told: Anelka Move ‘Wouldn’t Be A Question Of Money’

Paris Saint-German president Charles Villeneuve either likes to exaggerate a bit or he’s been smoking something he probably shouldn’t at his age.

 

You see, the 67-year-old, who’s been a member of the PSG board since for just over a year believes things have gone so well in that time, that they’re now part of football’s elite in terms of finance and pulling power.

 

So who would he compare them to do you think? Well, why mess about with paupers like Chelsea when you’re clearly on level terms with the big boys—like Man City.

 

Oh yes, they’re that big according to Villeneuve who says, “PSG are worth more than Manchester City. Therefore it is worth more than 200m euros. We are speaking about Paris. A Paris which is working well and a Paris playing at Champions League level—believe me, that would be worth a lot.”

 

 

Er, what planet is he on? He might well value the club at 200million, but City could spend that much in a day without it even denting the Arab’s bank balance.

 

But why would I be writing about his delusions on a Chelsea blog? Well because with one of Chelsea’s most influential players signing for them already in the summer, Villeneuve has just added one of Chelsea’s current players to his wish list.

 

Makelele left Chelsea for the French club in the last transfer window, and for the other player he’s got his eye on, Villeneuve says;

 

“As for Anelka, the doors are always open to him. As he is the leading goalscorer in England, he is not making things easy for us. That said, if he returns to PSG one day, I don’t think it will be a question of money.”

 

Is it just me, or is there a flaw in that statement somewhere?
