Hope I'm wrong though As per... We do right, too. I find it ludicrous that Chelsea (supposedly) want 5mill for a player who has never played for them AND is in the last year of his contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problems have really stemmed from our lack of pace and ability to create sufficient chances for the strikers to put away. We have been saved at times by the ability of some of our players to score worldies out of nothing situations. Our strikers will be better this term as the supply line is starting to look better. This may well be true (it is) but our lack of pace has come not from a lack of pace down the flanks, but from the slow build up from mid-field. We are far too slowwin turning defence into attack. This is shown by one of out favourites, Bannan (though not him alone, i stress), whose many speedy runs are unfortunately, across and not down the field. If we are going to have a couple of speedy wingers, we MUST have some speed in the front middle, so that , after they beat their man, there is someone on the end to pass to. Our lack of speed has often been down to slowness of thought..This can be seen when we have been defending, when the Keeper gets the ball and attempts to throw it out, only to find our players wandering slowly back up-field. It's almost as if our players seem to think that, when we have been defending successfully, that's job done for a while, and they can have a breather.

The players who have left Chelsea this summer, have all been reasonably priced, so I can’t see them making an exception over Hector More likely to be us, with some Norwich style wee wee taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but they shouldn't be demanding an unrealistic fee. They aren't running the business very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think Chelsea will be asking for an unrealistic fee? You’ve seen how much players like DaSilva, Palmer etc have moved for, hell they only want £8m for David Luiz.

Hector, on the other hand has NEVER played for Chelsea, is in the last year of his contract and are supposedly asking for 5mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 What are Chelsea playing at? Absolutely no chance of even making the squad registered for the PL. Take £3m and stop being pedantic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share your frustration mate, but this is how Chelsea make a bit of money on the side - hoard players, loan them out and sell them on. £5m is a lot to us but just tops up their bank balance slightly. It’s obvious Hec wants to come here - so it should get sorted somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with DC's stance though, and not paying 5mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
