All down to the wage bill really and the length of contract he would have wanted. Never let Bristol City down though. 


Wouldn’t it also be down to a changing of the guard - he was very much a Pearson signing so Manning was never likely to keep him on.

The marketing copy for that kit was very keen in playing up west London's links to the birth of punk rock and Vivienne Westwood's SEX boutique on King's Road.

Chelsea FC are the very furthest thing from punk rock!! 🤣🤣

they're also not west london as much as they try to convince otherwise

Not really. He was captain last season and one of Pearson's other signings has been made captain this season. However with it known that Bird was coming in from Derby during the summer and aspiration overall to bring the age down of the squad with a view to future player saleability, it was him or Joe Williams for the more elder statesman contract extension.

lol Legend. Big Dan refusing to board planes and ducking out of back doors to avoid having to go to Saudi Arabia.

Besiktas spokesman Huseyin Yucel has expressed frustration over Daniel Amartey’s failed transfer attempts during the summer window, calling him "a strange person."

 

Yucel revealed that Besiktas had agreements with a Saudi club and Eyupspor, but Amartey refused to board the plane and left the facilities unexpectedly, saying he preferred a move to Germany or England, despite the transfer window being closed.

 

"Amartey is a strange person," he said. "We made an agreement with a team from Saudi Arabia, but they did not get on the plane. We agreed with Eyupspor, he escaped through the back door of our facilities. He [Amartey] said, 'I will go to Germany or England.' When he was told 'the transfer window is closed', he said 'how will it close?"

 

Amartey, who joined Besiktas last season and made 27 appearances, struggled with consistency and has yet to feature in the new season following his exit attempt. The 29-year-old Ghanaian rejected offers from seven clubs, holding out for a potential move in January. His contract with Besiktas runs until June 2026, but he remains open to reconsidering his future.

Why would a devout Christian want to play in Saudi?
