Everyone ignoring this?


"There has been some revelations which cannot be shared here regarding RB. Do I think we will sign him this window? Do I think Poch will be vexed? Don’t think so. We are keen, but not on what we know. If summer, then worth the risk. Just sharing as I hear."

Yeah, why wouldn’t we be? “Something happened but can’t tell you” hardly adds anything to the discussion.

We’ve fucked him about, clear as day.

Check the ITK thread before throwing any more toys kids.
So what?
What didn't we like??

Does our word count for nothing?? We made him reject a transfer last window on a promise, and then we left him hanging.

We deserve the hate. Classless way of behaving, and messing around with a person

That's a pretty quick closing of a Transfer thread.

Never mind.

Ahh the old next transfer window it’ll be sorted talk

Facts are he was a poch number 1 target, he wanted us and even rose named checked him in his interview as a player that would excite the team.

By the sound of it there's a central mid coming in the summer. Rather that than converting RB to it. We haven't missed out on Iniesta here, it's Ross Barkley.

No disrespect but going on past experience there’s probably a good chance we won’t get anyone or if we do I doubt he’s a poch choice ala most of our transfers

Poch didn't want most of our transfers?

Anyway he’s gone and we’ve had the deflection.

Now on tenterhooks for the summer (y)

By the sounds of it theres a rumour that we may have someone lined up for the summer

Just like how there was a rumour that we had someone lined up last summer, but then he got injured so dont panic hes lined up for january....

Never trust levy. He is to football transfers as poch is to subsitutions before the 74th minute.....utterly incapable.

Unless his injury is career threatening, there was no downside in buying him.
If it didn't work out, we could've still sold him to WBA/Stoke/Sunderland for a profit
Tell me how if he was earning 3 x the wages/bonuses that Spurs were paying him?

Well, we need to pull a rabbit out of the hat in this respect now. I just hope it's more Poch's decision rather than Levy or Barkley

Shame, as I really wanted us to get Barkley. Wonder if the injury made it too much of a gamble for us. Bad luck with the timing...

Levy just saved Chelsea 10m. Spursy
Who gives a fuck about Chelsea’s finances, nothing we do is going to make or break them.

In any event, Chelsea spent £75m last transfer window on 2 midfielders who struggle to get off the bench, another one makes little difference.

The poch "number one target" thing is from itk so you accept itk then but when it's stops you being able to have a hissy fit you just dismiss it?

Nice

Frustrating but it's surely not money that was the problem if the £15million that's being talked about is true, must be something else
