We can all agree that we hope the absolute worse for his career. I'm talking playing for Bestikas at age 26 bad.

Rigga Posted 30 August 2022 Share Posted 30 August 2022 He may go on to be an absolute star at chelsea.. Can’t help think though in his time with us that he’s not actually been as brilliant as some make out..BR especially… Got rinsed by Martinelli against Arsenal.. Couple times last season he would leave the defensive line in a bid to go win the ball and the space left would be exploited.. And I’m not certain he was actually that dominant in the air… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 30 August 2022 Author Share Posted 30 August 2022 It’s a few years since I’ve had a sports / football medical, however it covers many things. 1. VO2 Max / Aerobic fitness 2. Precious injuries 3. Running / Gait analysis to asses long term potential injury situations. 4. Body fat % 5. Flexibility / mobility 6. Speed / acceleration tests 7. Agility testing / 505 testing 8. Medication 9. Body measurements etc 10. Heart conditioning You get a report at the end that summarises the doctors findings, then advisable notices like a vehicle MOT basically. Players haven’t completed transfer because of Medicals. Van Nistelrooy I believe didn’t come out great before he signed for Man U, however he didn’t do too bad. Arshavin heart didn’t join Arsenal, as his first one showed a heart condition. Chelsea opted not to sign Arnautovic, after he had a damaged foot. Loic Remy didn’t get his Liverpool move due to a heart condition. It happens, however it’ll be because Chelsea pulled the plug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m not certain he was actually that dominant in the air… I love the fact that the posts are now turning to "he wasn't that good anyway". Feels like we're moving on with being able to cope with him going. The five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance and are are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. We went through denial as we didn't actually think we'd sell him this Sunmer so recently after signing the new contract. We've gone through anger at the little p**k forcing this transfer. I think we're now at bargaining, where we are reassessing what we are losing and making out he's not that good anyway... Maybe we'll get to depression when we find ourselves at the bottom of the table with him not playing?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkidsFox Posted 30 August 2022 Share Posted 30 August 2022 I'd prefer him to be a success, and then get bought up by Barca/Real/PSG a few years down the line, than to be a flop. We'd find it very hard to sell any players at all if we gained a rep for selling duds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he’ll fail his medical, but if he did I reckon it would be because of this. His thigh bones are very internally rotated. Might well affect his feet, knees and back at some point in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinterdream Posted 30 August 2022 Share Posted 30 August 2022 I think it was the scope for his development that impressed us. He’s very good but probably nowhere near his best, sadly he won’t reach it with us and hopefully not Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FosseSpark Posted 30 August 2022 Share Posted 30 August 2022 He's now moved into clubs that are more fickle than him though. No problem benching £50m + talent and ****ing them off for a new signing. Chilwell, Ziyech, Pulisic, Werner, Lukaku all benched, bit parted or loaned after injury or 6 or 7 bad games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 30 August 2022 Share Posted 30 August 2022 If we haven't negotiated any kind of loan deal for a chelski squad lad I'll gobsmacked. They have surplus talent surely. Even Brighton ensured that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, I try and ignore the guy, he's Bullshitter In Chief on the Transfernonsensedotcom carousel but I do remember something being circulated that we'd rejected two of Chelsea's earlier bids because the add-ons were unrealistic. I took that to mean they were based on winning certain competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxmeister Posted 30 August 2022 Share Posted 30 August 2022 Chelsea’s wage bill was £175m last season, assuming they sign Wes and Gvardiol, they’ll have spent about £260m this summer and there must be an extra £40m in wages for the new signings, total (very approx.) £475m. They’re still going to be 3rd favourites, at best, to win the Prem and could conceivably finish out of top 4 Has Boehly even heard of FFP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I'm making a distinction between him declaring interest and him actually saying something is happening. I ignore literally all rumours that say such and such club is interested or is watching a player, I mean who cares. But when Fab sticks his neck out and actually says something has happened like a bid has gone in, a player has agree terms, a player is having a medical or has signed - when was the last time he was wrong? Especially about us, given there's not much market for him to be pushing spurious rumours about us. He tends to only speak up when something is actually fact.

Would have been more interesting if another team had wanted him too. We've sold two centre backs for a total of £150m, that's tidy business in anyone's books.
