Creative midfield at least... who's going to pick a pass and drive it forward when we have got a midfield full of holding players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 As reported by Simon Johnson of the Evening Standard yesterday, Chelsea ended up making a total of four bids - £18m, £25m, £27+5m, and £35m — the last two on Transfer Deadline Day itself in order to finally agree a deal for Danny Drinkwater and then still had to sweat in the final hours of the window as Leicester tried to get their replacement signing, Adrien Silva from Sporting Lisbon over the line. Everything seemed to finally fall into place just in the nick of time, with Chelsea announcing at 1:30am on September 1st after being granted an extension. Leicester announced Silva several hours later, but now it looks like they’re having problems with his international clearance. The local media are pointing the finger at Portugal while they are reciprocating in kind, but until the two parties sort out the mess with FIFA, the 28-year-old midfielder cannot play. So that’s a bit unlucky for Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrighty22 Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 Absolute joke. We had all summer, we wanted him last summer. Why wait until the last day, and still miss the deadline. What a shambles. RUDKIN OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockneyFox Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 Not sure Rudkin and co. can be fully blamed here, there are at least two parties involved in any negotiation and Sporting may well have been playing a game of brinksmanship to secure the best price for the player so close to the deadline. In short we don't know nearly enough about what happens behind the scenes to apportion blame anywhere, and I doubt we ever will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel for Silva to be honest, finally gets the move that should've happened last season but might have to wait 4 months to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this shit the guy only cost 22m why not bring him in regardless of the DD situation we needed cover for DD anyway it's just a cop out to say oh well we were waiting for the DD situation before we could do owt? It's complete incompetence by the club, disgrace You make a fair point, but why do you refer to Silva as a Cnut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
