Howay 12496 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) While this could of course be bollocks I really don’t think the new Chelsea ownership understand how FFP works, I can’t see any way that they’ve not completely overstepped it in the summer let alone the Nkuku transfer and the fact they’re seemingly still active. It’s also possible they do understand it and have some plan to take it to court when the inevitable punishment comes through.

Toonpack 9251 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 We're not spending much as per the Palmersville Pinot Prick, that'll be an exciting signing incoming then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13798 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Jorginho is a total helmet, it seems but him coming in to sit deep over Shelvey is a pretty great upgrade. Frees up Bruno to shine further up too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6532 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Not sure Jorginho has the mobility to play in our midfield. Good on the ball of course though. Id rather buy Maddison or Tielmans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4718 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Would've made more sense in summer since he is sort of a fancy Shelvey. But with Shelvey being injured we've not needed a fancy Shelvey this season we need a fancy longstaff to upgrade in midfield really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him for another year as a squad player, but on reduced terms Edited December 29, 2022 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21814 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I feel a bit sorry for him as he upped his game after Howe came in and went away and got fitter than he’s ever been before, losing loads of weight and looking really lean. I wonder if these injury breakdowns are just a result of his body not being used to it. He got away with playing the game at his own pace for most of his career 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping we bring in a CM or two, unregister Shelvey to ensure we won’t trigger that stupid clause. We’ve got to where we have this season largely without him, if we invest as I hope this window he already shouldn’t be a starter then further improvement in summer should make him completely redundant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34852 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 As fans we’re sentimental as we have an emotional attachment to the club (obviously) but also to players. Even to the extent you can love someone limited in ability who runs round giving his all. But it’s different for those running the club, managing / coaching the players. The best managers have a great rapport and relationship with their players but they also need to be brutal about replacing players who’ve dove a job for them. Shelvey absolutely fits that criteria. Keegan was like that and I fully expect Howe to be the same. Also Shelvey has sone fantastic attributes and has knuckled down too, like Gloom says. But I would say even if everyone was fit and available, even before any new additions, we’re probably a better team without him in the starting XI 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree get shot of him........he's a "On his day he's brilliant" player which means he has one great game in five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’d want potential replacements lined up before even considering it though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
