st albans fox Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 When was that FIFA meeting re player registrations planned to take place ???
Gerard Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 It's early days but Drinkwater could become one of Chelsea's worst ever buys. He won't oust Kante and Bakayoko out the team. Fabregas is also competing for the same position and maybe Loftus-Cheek overtakes him next season and a club like Chelsea are always looking for top class/ world class players and perhaps buy one in that position within a year. Also his "injury" will be a huge concern. He played all last season but never quite got it fixed. Maybe he can only play at 95% of his normal capabilities from now on and if that's the case he'll soon be looking for a new club when Chelsea want to offload.
Nick Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Surely if we had any kind of a real case the issues would have been ironed out by now... Seriously disappointing - not holding out much hope now.

I think he was a panic buy for Chelsea and will only manage to get a handful of starts/cup games etc. This will continue for as long as he can stick it out - Fabian Delph comes to mind. Do I blame him for backing himself and taking a chance on a big move? Not at all, and hope he can prove me wrong and really push his way into the starting 11. I just can't see that happening personally. More likely, Kante, Bakayoko and Fabregas will all be ahead of him for the next 6-12months, then Chelsea will go out and spend big on another CM or two that will also be ahead of him. He will most likely move on after couple of seasons with no real game time and join the likes of Scott Parker, Sidwell etc..
NotTheMarketLeader Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 We are scuppered ffs. Deal with it.

HighPeakFox Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 I know nothing, so refuse to speculate either way. I recommend this position to anyone who wishes to be less annoyed.

Seriously disappointing - not holding out much hope now. The main victim of this saga is the player, to a lessor extent the clubs. His career will be seriously damaged if he's not being able to play and his opportunity to be selected for his world cup squad will be gone, maybe for ever. Let common sense prevail.

CloudFox Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Sad it's not progressed yet, but glad he's at least allowed to keep his fitness up. Good show from our side, as he doesn't deserve to be isolated.

Utter nonsense Chelsea need a deeper squad, he'll play his part in that squad The most tackles by an English midfielder since 2015, the most final 1/3rd passes by an English midfielder since 2015 & a telepathic & perfectly complementary partnership with Kante Fabregas may be unhappy with being benched more often than not & may want to leave. Chelsea also want to change the identity of their club & Drinkwater fits that bill perfectly

Seriously disappointing - not holding out much hope now. Exactly what I think If we had a case that we thought had a good chance of winning, we would have wrapped it up & submitted it by now. The fact we haven't even contacted the FA yet is extremely worrying & would /suggest/ our case is weak

AyewJoking Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Have we given sporting any money? We've flicked ourselves by selling a key player but not replacing him and sporting have lost a key player but have no money to finance a replacement. Oh well, every day with **** all update that goes by is another day closer to January. And closer to relegation

Chelsea only signed him to make up their home grown numbers, of this I'm fairly certain so I wouldn't be surprised if he just didn't get picked. If he isn't injured and as a £35 Million Pound signing isn't making his debut or even on the bench against a team of that low quality you have to ask yourself as a footballer - Am I going to get much of a look in this season?

It is my right as a Fox to be furiously annoyed at all times, and not let facts get in the way.
st albans fox Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Shakey told the mockery that he hopes to get news on an appeal within 48 hours Presumably that's the appeal rather than the results of an appeal as he had earlier told them there were no developments !
dpjfox Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 so we havent even appealed yet!!! probably the appeal deadline missed.. mbloody useless Sila is better off staying at Sporting
