But it is not his decision until the end of the season, it ain't rocket science.

Bit harsh, not the worst ever. However it isn't surprising that Feyenoord didn't bite our hands off to have him back. I think he signed for the team at the bottom of the Eredivisie (sp).

Either the guy on the left is extremely tiny or the rest of them are very tall. Reminds me of the Young Ones.

What 'new bloke'? We don't have one, we aren't buying to replace in January as far as I'm aware. What Driver8 said is a matter of course, Stephens does not have a decision to make. And if you're suggesting bedding in a loanee, you're barking mad!

Never heard of him, let alone able to pronounce his name.

Saw him twice in the dev squad and thought he was pony.

But we still wouldn't take an identical bid. As I said, contract expiring or not. He will stay and see out the season.

Why would we take £8 million for Stephens now if we turned that price down in the summer? Contract expiring or not.

Brighton v Newcastle on Jan 28 almost certainly will not happen.

Read the arguments for, one thing I will say, I have no idea why one of the posters said acting like a small club because I dared to suggest I don't see where he fits in, sorry that is a lame argument. However I don't think this one will convince me.

I think I covered the injury/suspension. How many players do you want to cover each position? Three? Four? I think we are seriously strong in our depth, yes? no? maybe? I don't see this guy as an addition, because I am not sure where we are supposed to play him? I'd rather try and get in a nippy...

I take it you have seen the only player we actually need (if at all) is a Baldock type player for competition and injury/suspension? Every other base is covered.

Precisely.

Devil and deep blue sea. I'll go for stay up and struggle again to bottom place next season - them not us.

Similar to my thought, he can't be expected to get game time week in, week out. I can't see this happening because I'm not even sure what position we'd be wanting him to play in, if not dictated by Chelsea.

We haven't 'risked the budget' though.

You really do live up to your NSC infamy.

Sorry, let me get this right, you don't approve of middle aged men watching football, having a pint and a pie?

That was about as foreseeable as eating turkey for Christmas.

Different stadiums for different times. If I were young now I'd want the Goldstone. Being an older type the Amex suits me perfectly.
