How much would it cost to buy the entire squad of superstars from Chelsea or Barcelona? Well, Transfermarkt have done their homework and they have come up with the answers.


Topping the list is Roman Abramovich’s Chelsea, who are valued at €410.2 million thanks largely to the likes of Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, Frank Lampard and John Terry.

Despite boasting superstars such as Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto’o, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Dani Alves and Thierry Henry, Barcelona would only rake in €408.5 million to come in at second place.

Still... anaverage of 15million euros per player is about right for Chelsea - we sold off Bridgey for close to that sum :p

Genius.

If both teams had to sell all their players. Barcelona would get more money than Chelsea. Somehow i dont see Lampard, Drogba, Essien or even Terry being sold for 50 Million.

Terry and Essien I can see beeing sold for a bundle of cash. Drogba and Lampard not so much as both are in their 30's and losing value quicker than a Peugeout. Then again, I woulda thought that Malouda would have broght down the aggregate by quite a bit - seriously... I think you'd only get rid of him if you payed someone to take him.

Argh...
