BlainSA alistair I don’t think anyone wanted him to go, but no blaming him for joining a team like city where you’re going to get silverware Vs our (clusterfuck) transitional phase
alistair They need to reduce their huge amortisation bill to meet PSR and have put their highest paid players up for sale. It’s clear most of the football decisions are being taken by Boehly. Total clown show.
Hursty Where is Sterling off to then? How much is he worth these days? Surely Ali Al Kebab will be moving in for him?
alistair As a purely football decision, there is no way Sterling doesn’t make that bench. He has three years left on his £325k a week contract, one he signed under Boehly. He could stink the place out if he wanted to.
Smallman1 alistair He could stink the place out if he wanted to. Not sure he’ll want to spend 3 years training with the U-21s.
alistair Sterling has a far bigger public profile and more influence in the dressing room. Whatever Bogarde was being paid, it was a fraction of that. There’s always Piers Morgan!
bosstrabs alistair Bogarde was apparently paid 15 million for not playing for 3 years, no small sum at the time. They had signed a Dutch international from Barcelona.
RichM alistair plus Chelsea buy another player as part of the deal!! Got to keep that squad numbers up
Hursty RichM it’s absolutely ridiculous, funny to watch though It stinks of Boehly acting like Aegon Targeryen, wild decisions left right and centre with no thought given to the overall strategy
alistair RichM why you’d go to Chelsea right now if you have other options is beyond me and that’s discounting the “fans” penchant for turning against their own like no other.
BlainSA Getting João Felix should be good. Shame we couldn’t buy him before, but the manager didn’t want him.
Mad_Cyril BlainSA Shame we couldn’t buy him before, but the manager didn’t want him. That won’t be a problem again with Todders at the wheel
