[Football] Olise

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Chelsea are now doing at first team level what they’ve been doing with kids/youth development for years. Hoovering up huge amounts of young talent no matter how good they really are and likely to make it from where ever they are in the hope that some will make it and the ones that don’t will just be let go. They take kids from other youth systems where they would be better playing.

I hate what they’ve been doing with young kids around here for a long time and I hate what they’re doing with the first team squad now. Just a vile club.

Well said mate. Bloody tiresome aren't they.

Hey, i didn't start the financialised destruction of football. But it's ON.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

As he’s decided to join Chelsea ahead of City, I really hope we get that new Mitoma contract signed quickly.

There is only one reason why a player would choose Chelsea ahead of treble winners Citeh and the chance to work with Pep. And it’s not because he wants to live in London. What a shitshow that club is.

They're a shitshow cos they pay more ?

Now signed a 4 year deal at Palace, presumably removing the release clause and 2 fingers up at Chelsea.

Shame we didn’t get a bit more loyalty from Moises

Probably been told by Palace he can go there in January after a good first half of the season for £100m (with a % cut for himself, obvs)

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

So the agent has informed Chelsea of the release clause to get a transfer offer in to hurry Palace along into giving Olise the big salary request he was after but Palace had been stalling on. Olise will still be a Chelsea player by Feb 24.

Cynical, moi?

 

[The Fits]

Good. And James is now injured again. Poor Chelsea.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Looks a little like a hostage situation.

But actually good on Palace if they dont want to deal with Chelsea after accusations of tapping up.

 

[Bakero]

Here we go again. Left Wing Chat. I try to stay out of the tiresome political threads, but now every bloody thread is bombed by the Leftwaffe.

Why can't we just have a politically neutral discussion on the malign influence of global financial capital on the beautiful game, eh?

 

[El Turi]

Palace are well known for paying extortionate wages so I can only imagine the salary they’ve given him.

What a sensible young man . putting playing football regularly for a great club rather than chasing the money to sit on the bench for a morally corrupt club . Well done Michael.

I suspect the new contract is seriously big money.

 

[Springal]

Taken Zahas wages

No, he has signed a new contract at Palace. Can’t you read ?

Let’s not paint it like he’s doing this out of the goodness of his heart for poor Palace. He’s signed a new deal on a no doubt ridiculous amount of money. He’ll be your new Zaha, ridiculous money, wants out in two years but no one will be willing to pay that weekly wage for him.

If it was really about the football he wouldn’t have needed the new contract. The release clause is only any good if the player actually wants the move, he could have just said no without the shiny new contract. If he’d done that it would look a lot more noble and that he had his football at the heart of his decision.

Apart from the obvious error ('great club??) I'd agree. As much as Palace may be paying him, I'm certain he'd get more at Chelsea and has chosen 1st team football and avoided the toxic mess of Chelsea. Sensible lad.

You're still a pr*ck though. Obviously.

 

[Motogull]

What a loser.

I know it is Chelsea but he has just turned down a chance to join a club that is on the up again with one of the best managers around. He could have been in pole position for a starting place in their likely European campaign in 24/25.

He owes Dibley a big drink (or equivalent if relevant).
