Not sure about that. He's missed nigh on 100 games in 5 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in fairness that is a concerning amount of time on the treatment table. But given it's a free transfer it's much more viable in terms of taking a chance on his future availability. If we had been paying 30 to 50 million in a transfer fee I'd be less sanguine about it given the other areas in the team that need strengthening. And that's the point really. Do we take a chance on Kelly's fitness in order to facilitate spending elsewhere. Edited June 1 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20742 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Well that's it. What will this do to our transfer strategy now? Considering he was a free and we need a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4222 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Shame since he was on a free. Sounds like he's purely motivated by money, which I don't blame him for but I will hope his career falls to pieces at Chelsea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6785 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 He doesn’t have to move house and uproot his kids (if he has any). European football on the cards and probably a nice pay increase over our offer. It’s a no brainier from him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those terms yes, but in footballing terms Chelsea have been a laughing stock the last two seasons with horrifically poor results for their financial outlay. I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 They finished above us and got to the final of the cup (which they should have really won). I can only see them doing better next year when they shift their annual shite to Saudi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve definitely got potential with the players and financial clout etc. but if they keep binning good managers who don’t achieve instant success (in the eyes of their owner) it makes things really hard to sustain. Especially when you have us, Man Utd, Villa and Spurs to compete with before you even think about challenging Arsenal, Liverpool or Man City 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will, but the way that they often buy and then don't go on to consistently use players because of the lack of clear direction should be cause for concern. For most, when guided by their agents the most important factor is money, which Chelsea seemingly have an endless supply of. Though our owners have no limitation on spending our club does and so anyone that we do purchase will be to be used consistently, particularly if they're an established premier league player and are in their mid 20s. In summary both Chelsea and Newcastle will have told the player that he'd be a key component in their future but for us it has to be true, for Chelsea it doesn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1295 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I don't think it's that big a blow tbh. Cost effective but looked to have a bit of Titus Bramble about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9906 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Seeing that Chelsea are also trying to hijack our bid for Marmitevilli it’s probably them being shit scared of us improving our squad. It is the tactics Bayern used in Germany in the past whichbthey admitted to do. Signing players their rivals were interested in or buying players from their rivals just to weaken them. It ruined many careers over the years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Rangers used to do that too when Murray owned them and they had the money - stopping development of Aberdeen/Hibs/Hearts etc by just buying their best players then leaving them yo rot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeAdmirer 1286 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) He turned 30 a month ago so he still got plenty of legs left. We should give him a 2-year deal with an option for an additional year. Play him on the right while Minteh is gradually eased in. Additionally, with Isak's injury history, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to play as a striker as well.
