Watched Gilchrist a few times for Sheff United and he was their obvious weak link - Chowdhury player there toward end of the season out of position.
Watched Gilchrist a few times for Sheff United and he was their obvious weak link - Chowdhury player there toward end of the season out of position.I wonder if we could get George, Guiu, Vega and Gilchrist. Just a thought
It doesn’t specify we were the team that placed the bid. I agree it wouldn’t make any sense if it was us.Find it extremely surprising that we were seriously offering that sort of money to sign another keeper. How reliable is that source?
I mean it seems implied that we made the permanent bid but I agree, not explicitly statedIt doesn’t specify we were the team that placed the bid. I agree it wouldn’t make any sense if it was us.
I would say. I am very surprised Lampard seemingly hasn't tapped into his Chelsea contacts once since he's been here. Also surprised we haven't signed any 'big named' washed up PL players, with Lampard as the pull.
Clear DK is making us stick to 'the model'
How to ask a question and then answer it all in one postHear an awful lot about this lad. Has anyone actually watched him? Or just seen he used to play for Barcelona youth team and assumed he’s class and ready for men’s football.
Probably wanted to sort the keeper role first and thought we were using it for that? Maybe we will nowIf we have got 5.5 million kicking about why haven't we pursued Bertanucci?
It is a very different situation at Chelsea now - Lampard had a lot closer ties to the previous regime than this one
There is also that Derby were willing to pay high wages for the loans - something Doug won't do
He played and scored for their first team and they wanted to keep him but he had a silly low release clause and Chelsea tempted him away.Hear an awful lot about this lad. Has anyone actually watched him? Or just seen he used to play for Barcelona youth team and assumed he’s class and ready for men’s football.
Still better than Wilson or Collins in goal. When Dovins back I doubt he would be interested in staying number two.No option apparently for Rushworth
still don't believe that figureNo option apparently for Rushworth
Mental but good to know we aren’t as potless as we e been lead to believe.still don't believe that figurewould've been mental spending that on a keeper
his age? he's 19 and turns 20 during the next seasonMarc Guiu will most likely go to a lower prem team. Even at his age he'll most likely wipe the floor in this league.
Watched him score a hattrick in Europe last year, other than that noHear an awful lot about this lad. Has anyone actually watched him? Or just seen he used to play for Barcelona youth team and assumed he’s class and ready for men’s football.
At a real stretch I could maybe see that being the fee after incentives and promotion clauses etc, even then the base fee would surely be too high.still don't believe that figurewould've been mental spending that on a keeper
'The model' was broke when we signed Grimes. £3.5m on a player we will never get a penny back on.I would say.

It's more important to most of the big clubs where their players go than how much they can get towards their cost. We're going to be challenging at or near the top.Wages were just the tip of the iceberg. They paid millions in loan fees to get bring in those players.
Lampard's connections mean very little really unless he has an owner which is willing to essentially write blank cheques as he had under Mel Morris.
Vast majority of PL clubs now will either want to move their youth players on permanently for PSR or farm them out to the highest bidder on loan.
According to Cov Live, Besiktas had a bid of €6 million rejected by the club for MVE. €6 million Euro is around £5.2 million in sterling ?'The model' was broke when we signed Grimes. £3.5m on a player we will never get a penny back on.
We shall see very soon if and where the loans are coming from. I would put us at the top of Chelsea loans because we're a top Championship side and the Lampard factor.

If he ends up being as good as he looks he could be then £5.5m would be a bargain.still don't believe that figurewould've been mental spending that on a keeper

Yes.the one against shamrock rovers? ok
This isn’t true.
the model is not that we will only ever buy players with a big sell on value. Just as it isn’t for Brighton who have Milner and Wellbeck.
The model is we will invest predominantly in players we can improve and sell for a profit to fund further investments and we will add experience where it makes sense to improve our chances of promotion.
The big pay day for owners is owning a Prem League team the transfer business in between is just how you try and fund getting there !
If we get to the Prem I expect Doug to try and sell the club at that point.
Unless someone is lined up to leave.Mental but good to know we aren’t as potless as we e been lead to believe.
Did we ever get players direct from Chelsea due to Adi Viveash?, I think it was more his knowledge of the youth players that had already moved on.
