That's not even slightly what was said. Unless i've missed a quote or something. He's pushed out the door here because of FFP/PSR. He's said numerous times he does not want to go and has turned down Brighton that proves that. It's obviously different when a Sky 6 club comes in though. Anyone booing him next season or giving him any stick whatsoever is a ****ing melon. Would be thoroughly embarrassing behaviour.

ScotFox1 Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June (edited) The whole mess is depressing.. I hate the Premiere League as it stands now.. the Greedy Six can do one in their own super league for all I care!! Selling our assets to comply with FFP just stinks and is anti competitive Boooooooo!! Edited 30 June by ScotFox1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Md9 Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June I don’t blame him for going either he probably doesn’t even have a choice in the matter and if he doesn’t go to Chelsea he will end up being somewhere he really doesn’t want to be because we have no choice but to sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copunk Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June A bit like with Enzo, I feel completely "meh" about it It's a shame to lose a homegrown player don't get me wrong and I rate him as a player But surely Chelsea fans must look at this and think "wtf is going on" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s chosen a manager that he had his best season under and a team that’s going to pay him stupid money. Let alone the fact he will live in London and re unite with Madders, Chilwell etc in London. You’re seeming to forget that we’ve effectively forced him out to cover our own negligence. So if you think that warrants stick then I don’t know what to tell you. No he is definitely a snake, after being told your surplus to requirements and getting shunted out the club because of the mismanagement of the finances, having been here since he was 8. What a cheek for picking the best option for himself. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been stated that Chelsea have gone after him after scouting stats and form nothing to do with Enzo - that is Chelsea in a nutshell to be honest but oh well.

Probably the same freaks that booed the returning title winners. It was reported (allegedly) that he would not go to Brighton once he was told Chelsea were interested and he would only go there. I also read he was desperate to go to Chelsea. Media is absolutely shameless. This does not mean he wanted to leave, but it was a stronger stance than not will I get to go to Brighton. Sure he would be staying if not encouraged to leave for PSR reasons. All this may or may not be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June (edited) Youd be fuming if you were Chelsea. Signing a lad who is basically a less good version of Gallagher for a fair bit of money. Edited 30 June by Chocolate Teapot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June Imperative we sign some replacements now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfu Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June £30m if it's on its own is just sad and would be Reason #301350620 for why Rudkin should be sacked. £30m with Golding coming on a free would be palatable, but the kid's only experience of senior football is a single minute in an FA Cup game against Preston, so it's a high risk to gamble on an unproven youngster even if he's highly rated. £30m with us having to pay anything more than a nominal fee (i.e. anything above £1-2m) for Golding wouldn't be worth it because we'd still have to buy a proper KDH replacement anyway. If we have to pay a fee for Golding *but* Chelsea throw in another player for free then maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Steve Earle Posted 30 June Popular Post Share Posted 30 June Never got the love for KDH. Yes, local, and yes, great engine but so, so many limitations to his game. Think £30m is great business by us. Can’t for the life of me see him holding down a starting spot in a top 6 side, but wish him all the best. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the main incoming on this is no big wages from now on without reason and stop acting like twats at board level and risk another PSR/FFP threat/punishment.

Why would you stay somewhere you’re not wanted? I’m lucky enough to have grown up playing football at academy level, but one thing that’s so clear seeing friends playing professionally is people treat footballers like robots, they are still human. Let’s put it in everyday terms, you turn up to work and get told you no longer have a role in a team and unfortunately they need to transfer you to another team and if you don’t do that effectively the company would be ****ed. Then you know moving forward management would believe it’s your fault for the mess as you refused to leave and everyday you have to go into work feeling uncomfortable. What would you do? Naturally you’ll either look elsewhere for a job or transfer to the other team as you are no longer wanted. It’s sh*t but your cards have effectively been dealt for you. I am struggling to understand how you are not seeing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going because he has to. That's my impression too. And, bearing in mind his destination, there's every chance that if we sort ourselves out he might end up crossing paths with us again someday. I can think of at least one example of someone we sold to Chelsea who had cause to regret his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_favourite Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June (edited) Serious question...who does that leave as CM? Winks, Choudhury (not counting Ndidi as I think he's going to leave) and Soumare.

frany104 Posted 30 June Share Posted 30 June The good thing about this transfer is…. KDH will probs let be available to come back in a couple of seasons. I can’t see where he fits in at Chelsea with the squad they already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
