What a question.  The top 4 clubs can field 2 quality first 11's.  We sometimes struggle to field one. 

But they also have long runs in league and FA cups and endless rounds of Chumps league games to give players game time. Ironically they then spend all their time moaning that they play too many games!

I dunno.  Selling 21 year old Romelu Lukaku to Everton for £31m and then buying 28 year old Romelu Lukaku back for £100m+ wasn't the best bit of business Chelsea ever did.

Because they have a large pool of talented players... Without the squad we won't be in Europe and the late stages of cups.

Exactly my point - they can afford to do it without even noticing the merest hiccup in their cash flow - reckon we could do likewise??.....

They'll notice a £70m loss.

They may have more scope to absorb such a loss because of their regular place in the Champions League but they couldn't keep doing that.
