I didn't realise that. I thought we pushed him out for cash.
It's a dumb choice. No idea why anyone would go to Chelsea.
And as I said at the time, Small made a stupid decision.
“I play for Chelsea” sounds sexier than Everton. Which is what these kids say to people. Even though they actually don’t play for those clubs.

The saddest part is agents, who are actual adults who look out for these kids don't have a proper conversation.
That being said, I can imagine the lads wages went from say 5k to say 25k with a sign on? He basically secures his future by the time he's 21. That must be tempting.

Last year you can probably excuse it and think maybe they had a plan TBF. Anyone going there now is a bit of a concern you'd think. Was reading yesterday a highly rated kid from Palace's academy has just made the switch to them and you have to wonder why

Nae chance.
We didn't, he was offered a contract but would not sign and we then sold to Chelsea for 4m.
We had the same thing with Small and Lawrence.

True but this Palace kid is son of an ex pro so you'd think money would not be an issue. I guess if you know you're gonna get sold on for pure profit then at least you're not gonna get stuck in their U21 team or something like that

If he didn't sign the contract then Chelsea wouldn't have needed to pay 4 million. Those two statements don't align. It would've gone to tribunal.
When a player of that age leaves after refusing to sign a contract the club is entitled to compensation, it often goes to arbitration but in this instance Chelsea and Everton agreed on 4m.
If ISS had stayed he may well be in the first team by now. Strange how things work out.

Chelsea just agreed to pay 4 times the market price for no reason did they
