That's my understanding of the situation and there will be quite a few other Chelsea players in the same situationI know Chelsea have an option to offer a one year contract to JCS at the end of the season, but with the sanctions meaning that they can't offer contracts does this mean he will be available in the summer with nothing Chelsea can do about it?
Who are you thinking to replace him that would be equal or better?Is it me but I wouldn’t be that bothered if he didn’t sign next season.
It’s the coventry way. We know there are better we just don’t know who and we reserve the right to say they’re rubbish once they’ve signedWho are you thinking to replace him that would be equal or better?
He played a blinder Saturday !Is it me but I wouldn’t be that bothered if he didn’t sign next season.
The JCS deal took an age to get over the line and I'm hoping that was because we were arranging teams of a permanent transfer in the coming summer ala Sheaf
That was my point though, the deal may have took ages as we were arranging the fee we'd pay Chelsea in the summer if we wanted to make JCS a permanent signing.Very much doubt that was the case given he has an extra year's option at Chelsea, which I think they probably would've activated (bit up in the air now admittedly).
They're renowned for trying to hold onto graduates as long as possible in order to try and get fees for them - whether that be from loans or transfers. If I remember correctly they actually offered a new contract to Todd Kane during the summer he left despite him being 25/26 at the time and with barely a handful of first team appearances to his name.

Maatsen would still be under contract i think so they wouldn't be allowed to sell.Chelsea will have to slim down their playing staff, Is there monthly salary liabilities around £45m, might be £25m but large whatever. Currently 21 out on loans, that is down from 31 the previous season.
They will need to lose most of these players, certainly they will not be in a position to give JCS his extension, even if they could.
Big question will Ian Maatson also be available?
