Dullmoan Tone Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 This season for Chelsea feels like when Moyes took over at Man Utd, all of a sudden they are interested in average players when really they should be bidding for the best in the world. Drinkwater and possibly Crouch, feels like when United chased Baines and played Wellbeck. All good PL players - but have they forgotten their ambition, or has the money run out and the owner has turned to other shiny toys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 And to think 12 months ago people were suggesting he could be a target for us as his best days were behind him.

Portland Bill Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 It could be that with Chelsea eying the Champions League, all the main targets they were after are already ( European ) cup tied. So they are restricted in who they can buy if they need an extra striker for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy jet booked, checked in online okay, arrived at the Airport with ample time, bag dropped off and boarding card received. Security was correctly navigated and cheap booze and fags were browsed. He even managed a couple of pints, a newspaper to read on the plane and find his gate. Issues occurrd when he got off that little bendy bus that takes you to the plane, he got off it, fell over and as for the rest of the journey.... well, he missed it.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 @hodge The thing about Dzeko though, he'd be cuptied wouldn't he- in Europe. 37 year old Crouch (never knew he was so old)...wouldn't cause Barcelona much in the way of difficulty IMO.

All good PL players - but have they forgotten their ambition, or has the money run out and the owner has turned to other shiny toys I think you're forgetting that fergies man utd teams over the (very successful) years were littered with very ordinary players. You don't need to pack the team with mega stars... It's more about getting the very best out of players that fit with the mega stars. Something fergie was the master of.

WhistleHappy Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Just a pre-emptive warning to Chelsea - keep your eyes off of our versatile target man Flint .. You've got no chance you cheeky Conte, don't even think about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what is more surprising, you sounding surprised that he might commute or you intimating that a Stoke player should or would willingly live anywhere near Stoke. That would work, per Selred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 P.C has a very good agent. Chelsea play the game very well re agents and we have to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Do PL clubs still need a minimum number of English players? Could that be why? Carrol and Crouch world both give them a target man whilst ticking off a requirement at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
