Still a little concerned about our defence though. Who needs a defence? We'll just win every game 6-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy G Posted 11 August 2023 Share Posted 11 August 2023 No need to throw him in tomorrow - even if he’s eligible I’d just wait until Cardiff. Huddersfield are poor and we have enough to comfortably beat them 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one can ever give any proper examples of this apart from Silva (Chelsea's fault for taking DD so late) and Nacho (issue with the agents and 3rd parties which dragged it out for weeks).

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that most or all of the directors and senior management at the club are generally slower and more difficult to deal with than your average Footballing set-up. Coady and Winks were both transfer listed and good to go. Club got them in as two quick wins. Since then it’s been slow and a lack of urgency, almost like the club are satisfied that these two signings will keep the fans happy. Hermansen took longer than it should, too.

It took me several minutes to realise it was Rick Parfitt. I also once had a brief conversation with a (very drunk) Roger Daltrey on a late night train home from Waterloo to Clapham Junction….

scinnell Posted 11 August 2023 Share Posted 11 August 2023 Casadei, KDH, Ndidi, Praet - won't get better options and depth than this at Championship level. Think Alves will flourish in this role when he is ready to return! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braybrooke could be that replacement when he returns. I agree Hamza has good defensive numbers at Watford that could help see out games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groby_Blue Posted 11 August 2023 Share Posted 11 August 2023 Chelsea have always been badgers arse's when it comes to transfers. Look at the Izzet deal for an example. They wouldn't sell him to us until they made him sign a contract so they could get more money from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
