If he's been lined up for this all along then I'm very worried. Did seem a 'luxury' purchase at the time. Before chelski's interest was revealed, James was being talked about as a mover to Derby or villa. That soon went quiet. I fear we have prepared for this move for a while now and have just been stalling to force the price up and up. disappointing but ultimately inevitable if the player really wants it.

Not so fussed if Slimani, Musa, Mendy, Benny etc move on. I think they're more easily replaced. At some point however, the rest of the title winning side will break up. Unless we keep the lads together and get back into Europe. We might not be far away....

HighPeakFox Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 Amazing to read someone describing £40m as 'useless'.
Albert Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 Chelsea can offer whatever they like but unless a replacement is lined up the Drinky deal won't get sanctioned by the owners

He really should be on the bench today - let's see if he has suffered a 'reaction' to training after his injury .............
Webbo Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 I think its fairly obvious that unless Chelsea change their mind then he's going. This injury that he's had since the speculation started is a bit of a clue. All we can do is get the best price possible and hope his understudies are adequate.

Strokes Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Delph would be ideal for us, and is a bargain in today's market at £12m.

Koke Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 If we sell him for £35m our net spend will be £10-12m. That's nothing. Really hope the club has a plan in place. Delph wouldn't be a bad signing for £12m. Selling Drinkwater without replacement and giving Ulloa a new contract in the same week - the meltdown will be too much.

Maybe we wanted to have the option of playing three in the middle for tough away games. Look at Arsenal, he wanted to go to three in the middle and bought Amartey on, that would have been Iborra if he was fit.

Well considering we haven't changed tactics this season have we really spent £12m on a 29 year old to be a cast iron substitute because that's all he can be if he's incapable of playing in a two man midfield.

Vardinio'sCat Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 The window is dragging a bit now... I have a bad feeling today, we could go backwards quite rapidly if the club don't get this right.
