Sidwell?

Yep star player for Reading went to Chelsea as a bench warmer and a big pay packet. Moved on after a year

He did but nobody gazumped Chelsea as far as I know.

 

[heathgate]

I really do hate those pricks more than Palace.

That's a real stretch for me, but by god I am starting to get there.... koontz each and every one of those plastic Yankee driven sad-acts.

I was thinking of players who binned playing every week for the pay packet and a place on the bench, only getting on in cup competitions against lower league clubs. Likely to be what happens to KDH if he signs for Chelsea

Of course, but that’s always happened especially since Sky started football.

 

[seagull_special]

I don’t blame Leicester, they were looking for a deal and were happy to go ahead, KDH has shown loyalty to them and would seem to be happy to stay at his boyhood club. Chelsea on the other hand are stone-cold career killers, hoarding and churning talented young players out on loan after loan. They are a battery farm club. We move on looking for the next deal.

 

[Blackadder]

Lessons learnt. Don't compete with Chelsea,, they cheat the system . Don't sign someone who sounds like a National Trust property. We move on.

 

[dazzer6666]

Player wants to earn as much as possible in a short career don’t get all the toys coming out over this.

He should fuuuuk off to Riyadh then

So our big target was not signed in January and now he’s not coming at all?

Still, at least we’re doing the most important thing, hanging onto that cold, hard cash. Never mind the team, just LOOK at those spreadsheets.

Seems an unnecessary dig, we are clearly trying to spend the money and make signings but they’ve got to be the right ones.

Exactly, half the time a lot of the rumours are just that.

We have to sign players who will improve us, not enable us to stand still.

 

[Justice]

Depends whether he wants to play or sit on the bench ?

He can do what he likes I guess

I didn't realise the transfer window had closed already. You learn something new every day.

So what exactly would you do to convince him to come here? What would be your maximum weekly wage you'd offer to fend off the Chelsea wallets and the allure of a "big" team? Bear in mind it seems it was RDZ who foiled the January transfer not the cash.

Maybe we could have offered a bit more money in January? I’m not naive enough to think we can compete with Chelsea financially, but they weren’t involved in January.

Having watched the second half of last season implode after failing to acquire players in key areas in January I don’t exactly think I’m being unreasonable when I suggest that maybe we’re not doing this transfer thing very well at the moment. Especially given we appear to be ushering players in a key position toward the exit in Gross and Moder.

 

[Weststander]

Trying to woo a player from an English club over a protracted period in full public glare, carries a huge risk it’ll go wrong. The selling club and agent will optimise other interest from all and sundry, we’re competing with a long list of clubs who’ll cheat financially and generally offer vastly greater wages.

The talk on NSC for months was us benefiting in the build up to 30 June 2024, from P&S fire-sales by Forest, Leicester, Villa and Chelsea. Albion’s honest accounting and huge past profits, bringing pay back.

Looks like that didn’t pan out at all. Never underestimate this crooked league and the cockiness of players/agents in England.

TB wouldn’t like it how two KDH’s sagas were played out through widespread media coverage.

Perhaps very private deals for overseas players are our thing?

I have a feeling it’s all going to come crashing down at Chelsea

But according to our sources on here it was RDZ who somehow scuppered the deal in January. Obviously I haven’t got a clue what the truth is but it's clearly not a simple process if you haven't got the financial clout to effectively force the deal through.

We can only hope.

Funny isn’t it Potter fans said they didn’t blame him for taking the Chelsea millions.
