[sageyefc]

Coming back in the summer.

Nah

Nah, I'm alright.

Coming back in the summer.

Can't see us offering much for him and the contract he would be on would be much lower than he was getting. Can't see him agreeing to much reduced terms.

Coming back in the summer.

We should let him fail a medical.

Ross watch.

Had a good solid game so far. Shuffled about on his seat a bit. Took his shin pads off. Passed a water bottle to Willian.

Settled in really well.

His movement for the Chelsea goal was world class, I thought. The way he lifted his left buttock, gave it a scratch and popped it back down again was reminiscent of Messi at his best.

..we have enough on big bucks salaries who can’t get a game.

And a couple who shouldn't get a game !!

Who?

If he scores the goal which drops THEM to 5th, all is forgiven for 5 mins

The idea of Ross coming back in the summer is on par with Wenger coming to Everton: both are washed up has-beens who need to move on to retirement.

Ross is more of a Never-Really-Was.

Until they win the CL is that mate?

Conte is making a point. Buy a player he doesn't want and he won't play him

Perhaps that's an element of Conte's decision process, although I do think in the mainstay it's much simpler: he's not good enough for them.
