Had a look on a Chelsea forum, they seem to think he wanted reassurance on his wages and if Ipswich relegated.
Moved the goalposts on them as the deal was getting done and wouldn't sign for them, supposed to be the reason for it collapsing not the medical , they seem to think that injury will not be to long either to mend.
wonder if he had heard of are intrested and was trying to play them?
Can't see a problem with the deal from are prospective.
Adds to the numbers , covers for DLC if he goes or wilts under the pressure,couple of bad games or a few more half arsed performance from him the crowd will be all over him
He is very fast , can play a few roles up top , going to get behind him and hope he comes good
Yeah. Still surprised though Chelsea were turning down repeated bids from Ipswich on deadline day, yet accepted ours.
Ours seems very modest.
Maybe we're paying all his wages from October and Ipswich wouldn't.
Or maybe he just didn't fancy Ipswich.
Dunno, Ipswich could have had second thoughts about obligation to buy and tried to lowball Chelsea. Well he’s here now , hopefully he comes good

I'm so vaultable on this lad mate
, really hope he lives up to his early promise and proves me completely wrong.
My view:
Happy to loan with obligation on slim chance they stay up (which is worth more than £30m alone), then they did medical, saw his knees and foot, and were like "hmm is he really gonna help us stay up? Let's try change the deal". Then they wanted obligation either reducing or changing to option. Just kinda fell on its arse then.

Booooo!
Yeah that's it, but what was Everton's offer that Ipswich wasn't matching yesterday?
I figure it can only be wages, player preference or there's a gentleman's agreement somewhere.

Yeah wouldn't shock me if we started ringing up Saudi clubs about DCL tbh, if he's still here in January can also see us taking a very reduced fee to get something back on him too.
Maybe Ipswich just moved on? They did sign Szmodics and Clarke after Broja deal went quiet.

….yep, his recent form is ordinary and his injury record is dreadful but it’s low risk, he certainly has something to prove so it might just be a matter of ‘right time, right place’.
We all like a new signing, so fingers crossed.
They didn't though, kept bidding until late yesterday.
….you don’t know what goes on, maybe even first refusal on Branthwaite next summer.
