Chelsea miles behind Man U and Spurs in chase for Barcelona star

Chelsea are interested in signing Jordi Alba from Barcelona.

The full back is perhaps the best left sided player in his world in his position, and signing him would be a coup of epic proportions for the Blues.

The Sun claim that the Blues are chasing the Catalan star along with Manchester United and Spurs.

While it’s pretty unrealistic to expect United and Tottenham to sign him, the sad truth is that Chelsea are even less likely a destination these days.

We’re out of the Champions League and we don’t even really look like we have the budget to sign players of his calibre. That’s the sad truth of the matter.

Not only that, but from the player’s perspective, why would he want to join a team that’s as apparently directionless as ours? He’s winning it all at Barcelona, why move to a club that can’t even sack it’s manager competently?
