He's one of those ones Chelsea were paying over £20k per week to at 16-17 years of age, isn't he? Astonishing. And- in some cases- it's little wonder they don't make it. Where's the incentive to succeed when you earn that sort of money at 16?
Blimey that's ridiculous,I think 99% of lads his age would think they have made it once they see that in their bank account every week/month,And then end up playing non-league by the time they are 21, Think he could be one of the 1% though.
Josh McEachran (remember him??) was on £38k per week despite being out on loan to half the teams in the Championship at various points. No idea where he is now
Good player but would Chelsea want guaranteed game time for him? If so unless something happened to Stephens or Kayal would he get it here?
Josh McEachran (remember him??) was on £38k per week despite being out on loan to half the teams in the Championship at various points. No idea where he is now, but he certainly doesn't appear to have made it at Chelsea.
Yep, he does seem to be highly rated. The Independent suggested that Chelsea offered him an £18k/ week deal on his 17th birthday, or £34k/wk if you count bonuses
Andreas Christensen, one of their youth teamers I've never heard of, is supposedly on £20k/wk. Josh McEachran (remember him??) was on £38k per week despite being out on loan to half the teams in the Championship at various points. No idea where he is now, but he certainly doesn't appear to have made it at Chelsea.
He joined Brentford for about £650k in the summer then got a serious injury so is out for most of this season
I am not so sure that we need an attacking midfielder unless we are going to scrap 4-4-2 and revert to 1 up front. Another goal scoring wide man or support striker but not midfielder. If it was Bamford different story.
I must be your echo!
Was saying that we should get him in when Stephens injury arose. If Baldock is out after the international break could be worth a go anyway, has an eye for goal and could potentially play in behind Hemed/Zamora.
Saying that Chelsea would probably want guranteed starts/his full wages covered so if he does move more likely to be Middlesbrough etc.
Reading most on here that would be a bad thing for you,
