During the off-season, money-flush London "Chelsea" has so far only acquired two high-profile players - they borrowed Radamel Falcao from "Monaco" and purchased Asmir Begović for 8 million pounds sterling.
The actions of their closest competitors in the football player market has angered "the Blues" coach Jose Mourinho, who urged them to "not try to buy the Premier League champions title".
The reason for "Chelsea's" frugal summer, according to the press, is the team owner Roman Abramovich's purchases in New York.
The "New York Daily News" reports that the Russian bought three neighboring houses for almost 80 million US dollars and plans to demolish them to build impressive mansions.
