st albans fox Posted 17 August 2017 Posted 17 August 2017 Shakey will have to comment in the morning based on what he said a week ago he should be fit for Saturday. If he is still out, the speculation won't go away

I'm sure most of our wishlist players aren't sat by the phone desperate to play for us. Similarly, Chelsea must look attractive to some of our players too. I can't waste energy worrying about this. Que sera sera. That post was philosophical with a tinge of I need the Samaritans HPF

Dan Gliballs Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 17 hours ago, foxinsocks said: If he's happy to stay he should say so and make the speculation go away Why should he? From a fan's perspective it's great. From the player and agent's perspective, doing so achieves nothing positive. if he declares himself 'happy to stay' he cools interest, and pushes away leverage for an improved contract further down the line. He may well be perfectly happy to stay, but why would he close the door on potential suitors interest that can only do his valuation and worth good. In either circumstance in which he stays (having stated he's happy, or just said nothing), he'll be under contract at this club for the foreseeable future, and the fans won't resent him for having said he'd stay or not.
st albans fox Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Chelsea are getting desperate so they may do something silly like offering us 35m and him 130k/week on a four year deal. How could he turn that away? Even if he is a disaster there he gets a move away next summer and they have to pay him the money he is due on the contract he signed there less what his new club is prepared to pay him. Its his job remember - he doesn't bleed blue like we do.

A player in his prime... on verge of international call-up in world cup year & on £100k/wk here anyway, not £20k Scott Sinclair Fabian Delph & others are the lesson an ambitious player needs

Me yes But I'm past my prime & no longer ambitious.... and value other things over the equivalent of actually playing each week & potentially getting an international call-up in world cup year Would a footballer entering his prime though, when you're already on 85% of that wage anyway

HankMarvin Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Does Jose know something Antonio Conte can't blame Chelsea's problems on the sale of Nemanja Matic, insists Jose Mourinho: 'If you lose one important player but you buy Tiemoue Bakayoko and Danny Drinkwater then what’s the problem?' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4803706/Jose-Mourinho-Chelsea-s-Antonio-Conte-t-complain.html
dannythefox Posted 19 August 2017 Posted 19 August 2017 He'll be gone in a few days I can feel it coming. 35M

surrifox Posted 19 August 2017 Posted 19 August 2017 I refuse to believe that the season's planning (assuming there was any)involved selling DD. Looking at the other deals in the offing in the Prem the money offered so far is far from adequate for such a key player tied to a long term contract . ATM we are dependent on Matty keeping form and fitness having been out of the game for over a year. It would be so "Leicestery" to come up with a really surprise signing but this is looking less and less likely now

I'd tell DD he only goes if we get someone in that we really want, if not you go nowhere.
