With our current additions we would be a serious team again next year .
That might be the narrative being pushed by those who are set to gain financially from him getting his big move, doesn’t mean it’s true. I suspect he probably will go this summer, but the perceived wisdom is that we’re looking to hold out for a massive fee (ie. £100m+), which is somewhat at odds with any kind of “promise” that he can leave, wouldn’t you say?
Getting a bit Leeds Ben White there again. He has a contract with Chelsea until 2026.
I thought it was this year plus a years option so 2025 hence Chelsea's desire to get him locked in for longer
See post 457.
He’d join Chelsea for the ‘Project’. Obviously.
Yes, I'm sure he has. Hasn't any player ever kicked up a storm about wanting to leave, being awkward, making a nuisance of himsef and eventually engineering a move away? Amazed if some people beieve that never happens! Not that I'm saying this will happen with Colwill - I suspect the lure of instnt financial gratification will prove too big a draw - but it's an intriguing, if very unlikey,scenario.
If he's really set on playing for his dream team (if that really is Man. United) he might I suppose consider hanging around for a season to see if they sort themselves out and come in with a bid. Can't see it though - all those starving little Caicedos back in Ecuador need feeding, and £50-£60K a week doesn't go far these days.........
It's a weird logic isn't it? If he and his family are so poor how far does 50k a week go? Like, I get it if he was English and from a really poor background and maybe had 20 siblings- it's expensive to live here. But surely in Ecuador he's basically the equivalent of a billionaire now, at 21. They already have a life changing amount of money and that's a tenth of the way (if that) through his career. How much money do they need?! It feels really short sighted to choose Chelsea given the mess they're in.
I rather suspect that while Moises has sorted his family out, the same can’t be said for his agent.
We wouldn't be 'dumping him' in a club like that. We're not forcing him to go there! If he wants to stay - we'd keep him.
Well, we can't do a deal that involves him and Colwill with any other club, can we. So, if we're using his transfer to facilitate getting Colwill, then yes, we're dumping him with one of the worst moves for him (apart from the money of course). Of course, the money might be the be-all and end-all for him, rather than his footballing career, but we don't know that.
