There was an article other year about the amount of money that Chelsea made from loan fees it was eye watering.
I think it's really clear who we would like to move on the hard thing is finding someone who wants them they all have contracts and don't have to go anywhere. The easyist are the two loans if the agreements allow.
It would be a shorter list to say who I would want to stay and build a team with. I'd also like our recruitment team to go.
I can believe it mate, they’ve probably done better than anyone at making money through their academy
I might be alone but I rate Pines. I’d happily extend his contract. I think he’ll only get better with more games. Given his injury so soon after joining he’s effectively a summer signing. Why anyone would write him off so quickly is beyond me when he’s shown a fair bit of promise.
Agree about Connell off set pieces, he’s been shocking with them recently. Nwakali also needs to start, looks to have some serious ability. We just can’t afford to have someone like that sat on the bench every week. I must be in the minority in thinking O’Keefe has been largely decent. Not sure Lofthouse would be an improvement on him.
Okeefe lacks pace and general positional awareness, I do agree though mate he has been better just can't understand what we're doing with Lofthouse strange one
Yep, Lofthouse seems to have been used in every position apart from RWB which was supposed to have been his best.
He’s not even been best centre half never mind best player in team.......you not noticed Marc Roberts?
Don’t know what’s mental about that? The next time we get promoted, not one of those players will have been involved, is my prediction. Simply because they ain’t good enough (Phillips aside, who I think will be sold anyway) What I’m saying is, it’s going to need a rebuild job to mount a serious promotion challenge.
I’ll be honest and I was the same in the summer, I don’t particularly care if anyone leaves not desperate to keep any of em! There’s not one who’s performing consistently with the exception of Mael DG, lost patience with Philips, Connell not the same player, DKD has largely been a waste of time, Cosgrove is a total flop, Humphrey’s is a truer but is isolated on his own. I can’t believe we are missing Watters but we are, don’t get me started on Jalo never seen anything to suggest he’ll do anything.
I think that's incredibly harsh. He's not as athletic as he once was, but he's probably been our most consistent player.
Totally agree mate, give him a run of games and he'll be a good player for us, I'd be extending his contract rather than getting rid of him.
