Yorkie Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I just don't like the mentality of it all. Lukaku could be a world-beater, but why bother when you can loan him out, let someone else drive his value up by £10m, win back the mega-bucks, then sign La Liga's best CF? As if Chelsea cares about anything like that, he's there to win titles, he'll do what he feels is the best for his team. What you think is right or wrong is neither here or there tbf. Well I'm nothing if I ain't got my opinions. I don't doubt that it would work out for Chelsea in the long-run. All I'm saying is stuff like this makes me dislike modern football. It's a bit 'immoral' imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 When they made money on De Bruyne's sale, I think to them it vindicated their strategy. We're uneasy about it but when Chelsea buy him for £7m, loan him out, then sell for £18m, they're only going to keep doing this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightly so, if it works and the system allows it, I don't see what's wrong? Obviously the whole system needs to be revised because it's quite bullshit, but you really can't blame them for taking advantage. They work like private equity sometimes.

Deuce Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Not a clue why Chelsea would want to sell Lukaku. Jose must know something we don't. That he's not the best striker around? We all know that, he's worth more to a smaller team than he is to Chelsea. He just doesn't have that ability on the ball to fit into a very good CL side. He's also just 20 years old. You sure about that? He was born in Belgium, not Africa, Flip you racist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 We need full replacement of CBs. Be perfectly happy to see only MYM here next season. Quite frankly and this will go down well...there's seriously a handful (if that) of players worth keeping. Most need replacement. MYM is a complete shadow of a player who captained his club side, had the personal belief of a young man poised to be a French regular, and a title winner. It's insane the night and day. Talk about the PL being a better league and all that - you can see when a man has confidence in his own ability and self belief - its been completely zapped out of him.

Kanj Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Our squad is weak and not equipped in any of the right areas + coupled with a defeatist manager and poor backroom staff. Most of our players look timid, scared, nervous, and unable to express themselves. Only mad nutters like Tiote and Hatem look any bit of men who believe in their own ability (and that's rare when they actually look themselves too!). The rest look beat down and unconfident. How we go from turning over lower sides and playing well to showing up on a given day and play a 70 minutes like we've lost is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
