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

RichM Sometimes I wonder if there was anyway I could hate Chelsea anymore then I do, then I look at Nkunkos celebration and it reminds me there is always a bit more to hate about the circus https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c623g3e0885t
hugopal RichM then I look at Nkunkos celebration and it reminds me there is always a bit more to hate about the circus In fairness, it turns out he does it for his two years-old son who loves balloons. Which is quite a nice gesture.
