Chelsea have made approximately 50 signings since the take-over of Roman Abramovich. About £470 million (and William Gallas) has been spent on these players – that averages out at just over £9 million (and one of Gallas' hands) per player.

In this time Chelsea have had some really disappointing players, especially when you consider how much have been spent on some of these players.

Sacha Kljestan's UEFA Champions League dream is over before it could even get started.

Kljestan's RSC Anderlecht fell in its Champions League qualifier to Partizan Belgrade in penalties (3-2) Tuesday after dramatically scoring twice midway in the second half to send the tie to extra time.

With four rounds remaining and 12 points up for grabs, the Bundesliga heads into its final portion of the season with a heated race for the championship. Bayern Munich picked up a point on the road against Bayer Leverkusen and took advantage of Schalke's humilliating defeat against Hannover 96.

Arnautovic Signs For Werder Bremen.

FC Twente's Marko Arnautovic has made the move to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen today.

Marko Arnautovic made 44 appearances for FC Twente and scored 12 goals. In 2009, Italian champions Internazionale took him on loan, where he seemingly failed to impress, making only three Serie A appearances.

Markus Rosenberg, who scored the vital goal in Werder Bremen's Champions League qualifying match against Sampdoria, has today been loaned out to Racing Santander in La Liga for more consistent first-team opportunities.

Rosenberg Secures One-Year Loan Deal To Racing Santander.

This summer, Werder Bremen have signed Austrian striker Marko Arnautovic, as well as German prospect Felix Kroos, and so Rosenberg's first-team opportunities would have been limited at best.

Schweinsteiger Rescues His Side Against Werder Bremen.

The DFB Pokal threw up some relatively straightforward results, but the pick of the round have to be Freiburg's shock loss to Energie Cottbus, and Bayern Munich's triumph over Werder Bremen.

Energie Cottbus 2 — 1 SC Freiburg

Bundesliga side SC Freiburg have suffered a shock 2–1 defeat to 2.

OK so let's start with an apology for not publishing a Bundesbag last week. To be frank, yours truly is experiencing a radical shifting of his work/life balance lately and simply ran out of blogging steam. Sorry about that.
Moving on then and probably the biggest news to update you on (apart from the sacking of Wolfsburg coach Armin Vey) is that Hertha Berlin are still unbeaten.

Virtuoso performances from David Villa and Sergio Agüero ensured the Spanish contigent of Atletico Madrid and Valencia passed through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. On a night full of goals, Sergio Agüero provided two of his own, as his one-man show in the first half was enough to push Atlético over the line.

Three rounds remain in the Bundesliga season and the race for the championship is locked between Bayern Munich and Schalke 04. The Bavarian giants picked up an easy win over Hannover 96 after crushing the visitors 7-0. Hannover 96 finds itself in the drop zone, but just one point from safety.

Werder Bremen Secured 3rd Last Season Under Manager Thomas Schaaf.

Manager Thomas Schaaf will be delighted with the fact that many of the youngsters under his wing have sprung to worldwide success in South Africa this summer during the World Cup. Mesut Ozil, in particular, was a massive success.

Kult Side St. Pauli Will Fight Relegation This Season.

For manager Holger Stanislawski, this season will be one that he will surely never forget. Stanislawski has never before managed a Bundesliga side, and so the pressure will be on him to show what he is made of. Since 2008, though, he has been at the helm of St.

Brago shocked Sevilla in the Champions League play-offs as a hat-trick from Lima allowed Braga to win 4-3 against Sevilla in Spain and progress 5-3 on aggregate.

Braga held a 1-0 lead following the first leg and goals from Matheus after 31 minutes and Lima after 58 minutes, three minutes after he came on as a substitute, put the visitors 3-0 up on aggregate.

Abbiamo raccontato ampiamente le gesta della Sampdoria, beffata nonostante una grande gara, e costretta ad "accontentarsi" dell'Europa League. Volano in Champions, invece, e attendono il sorteggio di Montecarlo, i tedeschi del Werder Brema che, dopo aver sfiorato le fiamme dell'inferno (perdevano 3 a 0 in pieno recupero), riabbracciano il paradiso grazie al jolly di Rosenberg prima e al colpo del ko, poi, firmato dal leader dei verdi di Schaaf, Claudio Pizarro.

The Footy Factor team unhooked themselves from their computers last week and enjoyed a well-earned holiday. A working holiday, of course! (We bet you didn't even notice we were out of the country.) Our team travelled to the land where Inca ruins dot the landscape, where guinea pig is considered a delicacy, and where Nobby Solano is hailed a hero.

Bereits gestern Abend wurde der 6. Spieltag der Fußball-Bundesliga vom 1. FC Köln und von 1899 Hoffenheim eröffnet. Zwar brachte Nationalspieler Lukas Podolski "seinen" FC in der ersten Halbzeit mit 1:0 in Führung, doch in Hälfte zwei konnte Demba Ba im Trikot der Hoffenheimer zum 1:1-Endstand ausgleichen.

Will Olic End His Goal Drought This Weekend And Put Bayern Munich Back On Track?

Saturday's Bundesliga action featured the highs and the lows of Bundesliga life: from Mainz taking their winning streak to seven in a row and equalling the record for best Bundesliga start of all time, to Felix Magath's Schalke stumbling to a disappointing loss at Nurnberg.

Simon Rolfes Leads His Side To A 2–3 Comeback Win Against Wolfsburg.

Great drama in Saturday's Bundesliga games, and goals to go with it. Mainz's winning-streak ended at the hands of Hamburg, St. Pauli showed they can score goals, Bayern Munich's second string proved themselves, Werder Bremen picked up the pieces, and Bayer Leverkusen confirmed themselves as a genuine title threat.

Marko Marin Returns To Haunt His Former Club.

With the champions stuttering yesterday away to Hamburg, some of the league's stronger sides had the opportunity this Saturday to take a lead over Die Roten and confirm their title aspirations. Also, the relegation dogfight got a little bit scrappier as some of the league's less fortunate sides were condemned to further defeats.

Apparently there was a certain degree of manufactured hype for those safari boots. What a disappointment.

As we head into another weekend of footballing bliss, let's have a look at the best build-ups that led to goals from the past week. That's right, here are your Assists of the Week. Whether it was Claudio Pizarro or Sergio Aguero's inch-perfect "no big deal" flicks that cut entire defences or Francesco Totti's first time 40-yard through ball to Marco Borriello, which assist was your favourite?

Werder Bremen 3-0 Inter Milan ( Sebastien Prodl, Marko Arnautovic, Claudio Pizarro) Werder Bremen heaped more pressure on Rafa Benitez as they beat Inter Milan 3-0 in the final Group A fixture between the two teams. The 3-0 defeat did not have any effect on Inter's qualification chances, but the Nerazzurri go into the Round [.

With top spot on the line for Schalke, a win was imperative in Portugal against a Benfica side who have looked far from their best in the Champions League. Elsewhere, Werder Bremen were playing for pride in front of their home fans against last year's European champions, Inter.
