Its all going a bit F1 this. The Best teams are the richest..the rest just go to make up the field in an attempt to give the illusion of a race. This so called PREMIER league has become nothing more than a procession...
sport ?? Hasnt been for a long time.

I'd have Lescott back me. Just putting it out there

Why the hell would you have lescott back?

Lescott 2.0 making way for Bily 2.0.

Time is a flat circle.

Apparently last week it happened - dont know how true. But he's said on the Singapore tour he wanted to stay. That's his prerogative to change his mind. And it's my prerogative to hope he leaves asap and rots on the Chelsea bench. He's done us precisely no favours.

The club has form for using this form of spin. I would imagine that a lot of people have been talking to him, telling him to keep his head down and focus on his football and that is exactly what he has done. In that circumstance, it's difficult, but he can concentrate on his performance and try to zone everything else out.

I think that the club has bided it's time until the end of the window to try and extract the maximum price from Chelsea, just as they did with Fellaini's transfer to United. The player will have been told that he will need to hand in a transfer request though, as this takes the heat off Kenwright and Martinez. Stones, feeling like he has no option to refuse, obliges. Handily, it also saves us from having to cough up any loyalty payments.

Even if the club aren't behind it, Stones has obviously wrestled with this decision. Everton have great promise and he obviously feels settled at the club but Chelsea will be playing in the Champions League regularly and competing for cups and titles. He would get the opportunity to work with perhaps the best manager in the world and the chance to realise his full potential.

I remember reading about Gerrard saying that he had a panic attack when deciding about whether to leave Liverpool for Chelsea and that he called the club doctor and his brother for reassurance. It can't be an easy situation and I'm just thankful that he's handled it better than Stirling.

Totally agree. Made this comparison myself. It is killing my interest like my interest in F1 died in the 90s.

Good player with lots of experience. Will be cheap and played with Howard, jags and Baines before.

 

[Neiler]

For christs sake, name them then.

Shawcross
Vertongan
Williams
Gabriel

Personally.

You know we could do worse then buying an expierenced left side centre half for a couple of years, Id go Jose Fonte or even Lescott for a year tbh. I think Galloway will eventually be our left sided centre half.

Don't rate Fazio.

Oh my days.
I dont know where to start with that; not one of those will be in the Prem within 3 years.

So we sell stones for 35 to 40 mil and buy lescott he isn't even good enough for west brom.
