Will make it difficult for him to sneak in on the blind side of opponents otherwise. Although easy to spot in the first place. Might help him in the air too?

They can’t buy anyone currently, he’s only coming to us because it’s been agreed that we sell him to Chelsea next summer. Just a rumour though. That theory was dreamt up on this thread so it wouldn't surprise me if it has been going round the terraces as gospel today!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will move to Chelsea just as soon as the embargo is lifted. They would have loaned him out anyhow so this is just the same.

chipdawg Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 RE: rumours about Chelsea being involved in this, I believe the ban prevents them registering new players, presumably they could purchase him and send him straight out on loan. SL is a pretty straight arrow so I can't imagine him agreeing to be party to something like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50cal Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I agree, why can't we just accept a brave bit of business by Mark Ashton and the City Board he is an unproven gamble that I'm sure that City wouldn't run the risk of wasting away 7/8 million on just for the benefit of Chelsea FC 5 minutes ago, Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan said: I’m not even sure posting unsubstantiated rumours like this on a public forum is a good idea?

DT The Optimist Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I also considered this 'conspiracy' theory but think that has been blown out of the water when LJ alluded to the fact on radio after game today he will be working with him for next 3 - 4 years and thrilled we are getting this 'wonder boy' ? Expecting it to go through. Not a hint of a 'one season' in that IV, unless of course he is fibbing ! Amazing really that we have come this far. The disappointment of the result today is balanced a bit about this week activity. A great watch lies ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 This Chelsea nonsense is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard & I can't believe any of you believe it. As if Chelsea would sign an 18 year old for €8m (they have their academy to sell players for this price not to buy them), and even if they did, as if they'd ask SL to do some dodgy deal with them & we'd trust each other to pay up/sell at the end of it. "Yeah no worry Abramovich we'll destroy our FFP for the next 2 years and ruin our chances of signing players, just to get 1 player on loan". All whilst, most probably going against the rules for these types of things & risking the case of huge fines/point deductions. If we get Tomori or a Chelsea player on loan it'll be because our transfer dealings have had mutual benefits, not because we're player laundering for them. Literally laughable. Some people do love to find any excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF this was going on, and of course it isn’t, a points deduction for going into Administration would be small beer to what would happen to both ourselves and Chelsea.

Why on Earth would we take such a risk as to collude with Chelsea to circumvent their ban? As usual with OTIB, the more it's repeated, the more people will take it as gospel with **** all evidence.

mozo Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 14 hours ago, Johnny Musicworks said: This is the sort of ‘one for the future’ signing that Chelsea or Man City would make not Bristol City. Could we be the new way for say a Chelsea (unable to buy) to stack up young talent. They fund it and get a future option once we have developed the talent. We seem to be doing a good job developing their young players recently. It’s a strange move for us albeit exciting. This is where the "Chelsea rumour" started... It's a theory, nothing more.
