gurujuan Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I’m not sure this 5 or 6 new players adds up. If it’s right that we have lined up Odubajo, Borner and Bidwell, as the first three in, and the interest in Onomah, Downing and Hector is genuine, than that could be us done.

There are other young lads who are on pro deals too who can’t keep turning out for the 23s (Hughes, Borokov, Damba and the new intake). If you add Odubajo, Borner, Bidwell and Onomah to that - in total 33 players in the squad. Whether the young lads are near the first team or not, that’s far too many professionals at the club. Preston, Stobbs, Lee, Kirby, and even Baker, probably won’t be around, or at least shouldn’t be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be top on his priority list. I just hope we see players move on in the coming weeks too. Despite all those we released our squad is still very bloated. I think Hector would be Bruce's top priority but clearly he's got to see if a deal can be struck with them and this may not be resolved until August.

With Odubajo joining he will be on his way out you would have thought. Kirby and Preston need a loan spell. Doubt they'll make it at Wednesday but for the sake of their own careers they need to go out and get some first team experience. Not sure why we offered Stobbs a new 2 year deal last season. He must be 22/23? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason he said 5 or 6, it’s just a rough guess. It could be 7, he could move some out and it be 8 or 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stadium a million miles from anywhere, may as well have played on Mars. With hardly any regular Chelsea or Arsenal fans present due to costs. The fat cats of UEFA and so on sat in the boxes loving it. The fans a bus ride from the pitch. Then finally, Chelsea fans back home saying it's ok, but we are better than winning the UEFA cup. WTF. Money, Money, Money. Stopped watching at HT,put “Chernobyl” on catch up and then realised it was probably UEFA s chosen venue for next years final!

Player contracts don't run out until the end of June. No idea, just what I heard. I’ve seen clubs announce signings before though saying that a player will join them on a certain date.

Player contracts don't run out until the end of June. You are officially allowed to talk to players with a month remaining on their deal is why I'd imagine. Although that doesn't stop Borner as since he's from abroad it's from Jan 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 1 hour ago, SallyCinnamon said: I’d say we are bloated in midfield and upfront. We have 3 goalkeepers (presuming Westwood has signed) which is too many. Plus we have a shed load of young players on professional contracts who either need letting go of or sending out on loan. We are light out wide and a centre back short (even though we have Lees, Thorniley and Van Aken still to choose from). and Iorfa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEdwards Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Bruce and Bullen have both said we need 6 players. So far we seem to have sewed up 1. Börner 2. Odubajo Really solid interest in 3. Stuart Findlay 4. Jake Boswell Fitting rumours about 5.Benjamin Kololli One more player for a fee if we don't move anyone out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Can see Börner , Odubajo and Bidwell coming in Don’t think we will spend the ££ required for Onomah, Downing would be a massive shock and against everything Bruce has said he’s looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
