[Albion] Now Chelsea want Adam Webster

[swindonseagull]

According to the Daily Mail anyway.

Will they please go away..

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Given how much surplus we've made on player sales, it's almost inconceivable what they would have to pay us to take one of our first team regulars.

As it's the Mail, very likely untrue, but generally, I do get fed up with the world view of the top teams where they see us like Tesco's or something where they can just come and pick what they want. Still, I suppose we're on the food chain somewhere

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Hang on - Leicester are allowed to say Forfana isn't for sale but albion aren't allowed to say Chelsea 2nd choice Webster isn't for sale ?

 

[Eeyore]

Chelsea want Adam Webster

Oh, no...

According to the Daily Mail.

Ah, okay, nothing to worry about then.

 

[Justice]

Don’t understand the Leicester stance on this, they need funds to strengthen and he’s not that great from what I’ve seen.

I can't help but think back to the phone hacking scandal and the testimony of the journos at the time.

This was a couple of papers. The journos would sit at their desks and just totally invent stories out of nothing because they had to fill their pages and didn't have the content. So instead of doing 'proper' journo work, they'd just invent crap up and print it with 'ambiguous' caveats like 'apparently' or 'according to sources' etc...

What are the chances of the Daily Fail actually knowing that Chelsea are looking at Webbo.

Pretty close to zero. How many stories have we seen over the years about players coming and going? Literally thousands.

It's BS imo. Lazy journo stirring.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

The bidding starts at £120m

 

[Icy Gull]

Has he put in a transfer request yet?

Roll on 01 September

Hopefully we'll still have Caicedo, Webster, Welbeck and anyone else who pops up on a top 6 clubs radar in the next week.

What's Romano twittering?

Maybe not Tesco, But my impression is that Bloom sees us as an English version of Ajax.

 

[GT49er]

I thought Dunk was the life-long Chelsea fan? Maybe Chelsea should be looking for a Dan Burn type deal?

Could even get Dunk to the World Cup ...........................

 

[The Fits]

They’ve definitely been looking at him over the last couple of seasons.

 

[Change at Barnham]

If Leicester won't let Fofana go for £80m, but Chelsea are prepared to pay £80m then I would let them have Webster for that amount. Every player has his price.

But I don't think Chelsea would go that high for Webster. It's ironic that they've loaned us Levi Colwill who could possibly be a better player than Webster. I thought Webster got burned a couple of times yesterday against Bowen.

(n.b. this is probably my Ben's Grandad moment when he said we should accept Fulham's £4m bid for Dunk)

If the point of football was the accumulation of profit I would agree with you

Pretty simple, I think. £40m plus Colwill on a permanent deal.

 

[Stato]

Chelsea out shopping for players again are they?

Well, I think otherwise. Beyond that dangerous mispass in the first few minutes, Webster was imperious yesterday, snuffing their attacks out effectively, and had Bowen in his pocket.

Leicester need to comply with the new sustainability rules. Champions League wages and no more revenue than us.

Well we have wiped the floor with a couple of teams already this season

What's Romano twittering?

If he's said anything then it will be along the lines of Adam has agreed personal terms with Chelsea, he only wants Chelsea. Deal to be announced in the next few days. Here we go.

Which of course means he's off to Liverpool.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I do think both Webster and Dunk look more assured with Veltman playing alongside them. As someone on NSC said, there seems to be fewer last ditch sliding blocks and backs to the wall defending moments since JV joined.
