Babylon Posted 2 July Share Posted 2 July 1 hour ago, LCFCJohn said: So if you were to pick two clubs to put together for a transfer deal and think they could f*** it up, it’d be Leicester and Chelsea Chelsea could try and change the structure very last second, so who knows. With so many parties involved all wanting a slice, it's not an easy one. I mean, if you are KDH's agent, and you know City need to sell, you would demand a huge chunk of change to make it happen.

I mean we're talking about an 18 year old kid that's probably only ever gone North of the M25 on a Chelsea team bus and a Leicester lad that's been on the books at City for sixteen or so years. Possible the deals were all signed and sealed a couple days ago but they're just being given time to go talk to their families and get their affairs in order before they get bombarded with PR obligations, especially given it's summer holidays at the moment. Everyone gets super impatient about all of this stuff and forgets the human element. It's being styled like transfer deadline day but it isn't actually, it's still very much the off season and as long as the accounts are balanced, the big announcements can wait.

iancognito Posted 2 July Share Posted 2 July Fair play to him. It's a buyers market in June so it's a fair fee for a player with no caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adejo92 Posted 2 July Share Posted 2 July It's always sad to see us part with a player who genuinely cares for the club. The transfer is a direct result of the clubs negligence but I can't help but feel Drinkwater vibes. Enzo will likely persist with him to try and show faith in one of his own signings but I really don't see him good enough, or consistent enough for chelsea. What's the consensus of chelsea fans? Underwhelmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyshireFox Posted 2 July Share Posted 2 July A needs must deal unfortunately. Incompetent decision making at the top, diverting from what made us a success, combined with a set of rules seemingly only devised to protect the status quo. A fair fee and a heartfelt goodbye from KDH. We need to get back to what made us successful in the first place, with some of the rumours flying about, maybe there’s hope we are going to do so, but it’s certainly going to be a big uphill struggle. We need to be smart with wages and recruitment, which up until last summer, hasn’t been good for a while now. Hopefully that changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jattdogg Posted 2 July Share Posted 2 July Much respect to KDH for taking it for the team, literally. Clearly, didn't want to leave from what we know. Hopefully the extra £ he might get with the potential to win something will serve him some happiness. Always welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cropwellfox Posted 2 July Share Posted 2 July The article on the website is an absolute ****ing shocker. Only a couple more sentences than Lewis Brunt got, written in the most neutral, meh tone of voice, almost feeling like an afterthought. **** the PR shitshow that we have to put up with from this godforsaken club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lcfc278 Posted 2 July Popular Post Share Posted 2 July Disgustingly poor statement from the club and the social media team. Happy to put up crap posts every single day about some ex-players birthday or some random game we played in 25 years ago, yet one of our own home-grown players leaves, because the s**show of a club needs the money, and they post a half-a**ed sentence like that, almost as if they're not happy he's leaving. They must think us fans are thick. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well get AI to write it at least it would come up with something more fitting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to qualify first - this isn't a go at KDH. He's definitely one of a very few players in recent years who has had an affinity for the club. However, you don't support your home town or parents team and then have a back-up more successful team cos you're team aren't prolific enough. I grew up with LCFC mostly in the 2nd division (80s), but I never once felt the need to say I was a Liverpool or Everton fan (yes kiddies, Everton were once a top team!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
