Afraid I did read it right. You just need to be a bit more clearer with what you say.

Chelsea have basically built their side over 2 seasons, spending just over 200m. That's not much more. And they don't have the advantage of a good academy, although they have invested in that as well. What they have done, is bought British and Irish though (Duff, Cole, Johnson, Parker, Lampard for example). They've also spent wisely unlike the extortionate sums Munich have spent on crap like Taibi, Silvestre etc etc.
