Surprised we have offered a contract to a 'Meh' signing...

And that’s a ‘meh’ comment

Abramavich puts Chelsea up for sale

Probably more chance of getting Salter

 

[SkyblueDad]

What about Leo any chance of a return?

No, I liked the look of Preston’s Sepp van den Berg on loan from Liverpool looked quality wouldn’t mind nicking him next season.

 

[ccfc1234]

The lad did not due hugely well at Birmingham and it's probably fair to say he is playing his best football in a while under Robins. Hope that counts for something to him.

Hyam - Osti - JCS

'How they looked after players'?

Overnight before every away game , training ground facilities , sports science and nutrition support etc . He had been at Man Utd and Leicester and so used to that standard and was looking for his next club to offer as close to this as possible

 

[Skybluebeliever]

Is that a suggestion that we definitely won’t be offering mcfadzean a new deal?

I think he has already triggered a new deal based on this seasons levels

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Yes nothing agreed but as previous loans for example Liam Walsh and Matty James the club would be looking to sign if terms are agreeable , these two were offered terms but declined

We could say “Hey JCS take our offer. Don’t become like Liam Walsh and Marty James or Ostigard whose careers took several steps backwards thinking the grass is greener on the other side.”

 

[SkyblueDad]

If I was MR I would make a serious play for Maatsan imo there’s going to be all sorts of player issues at Chelsea they apparently have over 30 players loaned out all over Europe.

 

[robbiekeane]

Good pedigree.

what does this even mean

He likes his dog food?

Very little chance of that happening but yes, he was very very good against us.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Bristol offered better facilities and how they looked after players also which james felt was important , Walsh was never going to turn down Bristol city as they offered 15k a week
The point is we have nearly always offered decent loan players who have impressed opportunities to sign so JCS would be the same

I thought that Walsh still had a year on his Bristol City contract when his year here was up. I was hoping we would go for him when he was not retained by Bristol at the end of last season. He obviously went to Swansea then but did we even try to sign him?

How has Ostigards career gone backwards?

Spent half the year playing the same level, for a team who were expected to be better than us. Now is playing in Serie A and was in the Serie A Team of the week (WhoScored) last week.

Liam Walsh and Matty James are very valid examples though.

Not doubting your sources but how was that possible re Liam Walsh? Bristol had a one-year extension on his contract which they were probably always likely to trigger?

Matty James is a regular for Bristol when he isn’t injured.

Walsh on the other hand has been injured since he left here, that’s not going backwards because of the deal he took - likelyhood is he’d be injured here on less money

point is they’re both in the same league as us so they’ve hardly gone backwards

Walsh took the money at Swansea and probably wasn’t helped by a change in manager there. Hes not been getting a game for them and is now at Hull on loan. Hes played 3 times for Hull so far but has been on their bench too.

 

[Johnnythespider]

what does this even mean

It means his parents were chosen carefully before mating

 

[procdoc]

Hope it's true but it does sound a bit like his agent is touting him out already!?

That’s the agents job

He got injured before the start of the season, that’s why he didn’t play at swansea.

Interesting, I'd assumed given the amount of late goals we get, we were well up on the nutrition etc. side. Guess that's our next investment, then?

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

We will have all of the above, the issue is the level of investment in all of the above will be far greater at Bristol.

Equally, their multi-million pound training ground for instance is pretty much brand new and might have been a big sway.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Hence, it'll surely be our next investment?

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

I don't really get what you mean. We'll likely already have a nutritionist?

 

[Marty]

I would have thought we do have a nutritionist or at least access to one if a player requests it. Do other clubs provide players with chefs to prepare their foods for them?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Well we clearly need to invest more, don't we, to catch up others at our level. It's not a 'we have a nutritionist, therefore we deal with nutrition' is it.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

I think it's pretty obvious that's not going to happen, certainly not in the short term, when the club is forced to make compromises in pretty much every department due to the shoestring it runs on.

 

[SBAndy]

I would have thought we do have a nutritionist or at least access to one if a player requests it. Do other clubs provide players with chefs to prepare their foods for them?

I doubt it. Remember a story a few years back that Jonjo Shelvey hired a personal chef for £60k per year to make sure his diet was correct.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

If I was MR I would make a serious play for Maatsan imo there’s going to be all sorts of player issues at Chelsea they apparently have over 30 players loaned out all over Europe.

Think Maatsen would have suitors much higher up the food chain.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Higher than championship ?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Higher than championship ?

Very possibly. He'll have a year of improvement with us, and he's kind of on the Van Aanholt development curve.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Higher than championship ?

He'll probably get sent abroad. The Eredivisie would be my guess. Chelsea have some kind of relationship with Vitesse so wouldn't surprise me if he ended up there.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I think he's better than Arnhem now. That's where Dabo was before joining us in League 1.

If I had to guess I'd say Bundesliga.
