Bruce Buck has been explaining the decision to allow Arjen Robben to move to Real Madrid, and has praised chief executive Peter Kenyon for his work in the transfer.
'I think we got a very good business result there, we pretty much doubled our money in terms of the transfer fee three years ago.
'José said in the US in July we wanted Robben to stay. He's a very good player and made a real contribution to Chelsea Football Club.
'For reasons only he can answer he wanted to leave. We weren't going to let him leave unless there was an appropriate business resolution, and Peter Kenyon did some very good business there. We wanted him to stay, he made a contribution and we wish him well.'
Buck also reiterated that the club will not be held to ransom over prices paid for players in the final week of the transfer window.
'I think it goes both ways in terms of not being held ransom with respect to players we may be selling and not being held ransom with respect to players we might be buying. In all these situations we're looking to get a price we think is appropriate.
'There's one week left of the transfer season, I think José has indicated we're looking for possibly a new right back and we'll just have to see how the next week goes.
'It's a view we've had for several years. In the first year we spent quite a bit of money because we felt we had a lot of catch up to do. The plan was for the amount of money we spent on aggregate in each transfer window to go down every time, and it has. I think that makes sense for Chelsea. We're looking more to bringing players through the academy, and over time we'll have a better strategy and approach.'
角色互换也许就在瞬间，一贯被宰的主如今也拿起屠刀了，呵呵！36M欧元？真的还是假的啊！
