Random Rumours

So at the beginning of this week every player not on international duty has reported back to Cobham, except:
• Garnacho
• Disasi
• Badiashile
• Guiu
• Kellyman
• Datro Fofana
• Caleb Wiley

so it is fair to say these are the players leaving.

I am also guessing Mudryck didn't report back.

Hasn't Kellyman already agreed a further loan for this season?

Sorry, yes, leaving on a loan - Marc Guiu will be a loan also .

Badiashille is the player who will be representing the bomb squad.

"Word on the streets", I guess meaning the streets of Dubai given it was Younes that said this, is that we are going to try and pick Arsenals pocket again to sign Bruno Guimaraes.

With him being in 28, turning 29 in November, I'd be shocked if we did. He has no connection to Joe Shields either.

Newcastle are said to value him between 90mill to 100mill.

 
In case it needed to be said, Romano is an idiot. "Five-year contract" ...players under 20 can only sign a 3 year deal. The other two years are either an option or unenforceable.

Makes him pretty damn expensive in PSR terms, 3m/season + wages. Yikes.

Isn’t the three year restriction for players under 18?

 
John Stones on a FREE from Citeh. Maybe he is the experienced Centre back that we need?

Yes …. Exactly what is needed. He is no Silva but I have always admired him and he could bring a calm head to our young defence

I thought he played a great cameo in the World Cup

and he’s free !

 
Take it with a grain of salt.

Well it's probably true. BBC reporting it.

I like Alex Scott a lot, but I don't see how he fits in our team. He just feels like too similar a player to Enzo. Who I also dont see how he fits in either.

Wharton alongside Caicedo is a dream pivot for me. With Rodgers / Palmer / Estevao / Pedro up front. That's a lot of balance.

My worry is defensively how we react in transition. I see us starting with a back 3 to begin with, given how horrid we were last season. It will probably evolve from there.​

Going to keep posting it in the hope that some algorithmic Grok bo**ocks picks it up and creates a rumour that makes it happen, but personally i would like James Garner from Everton who I think would be an ideal deep lying player in the pivot with Caicedo but with the engine and passing range to cover the whole of midfield.

I would go along with this. It would also piss off united fans.

 
I'd be down with selling Enzo and bringing in Wharton.

Not a huge fan of Alex Scott personally.

Now then, do we know if Eghbali has personally handled transfer negotiations for deals now worth in excess of 100mill before?

Enzo, Caicedo and now Rogers. As far as we have been told it was not him who did the deal for Palestra, so why is he doing the deal for a 55mill, or so, defender from Palace?

I reckon he is there for Wharton as well, as long as we can shift Enzo.

Correct, typo on my part. Denner Evangelista was 17 when the transfer was announced so his contract would only be valid until he is 20.

I know (from Football Manager, lol!) that there was a way around it where clubs agreed a pre-contract at 17 to sign a longer professional contract at 18, but I don't think those are actually that enforceable.

 
Sarr is now being shopped around for a loan deal, and Emegha might be loaned/sold. Makes you wonder what the point of signing them was.

It's so the profit appears on Chelsea's books, not Strasbourg's. Essentially it helps move money between the two clubs.

Have to admit I was surprised when you made that post.

Interesting you talk about deals signed before the age of not being enforceable.

I tried to point out to a Leicester supporter who was talking about a young player of theirs called Page who had signed one of these 3 year when he was 17 but as he was under the age of 18 any such agreement would have to be signed off by his parent/ guardian .When he reaches the age of 18 any deal would have to be signed again to make it a cast iron contract but this time by the player as an adult and in theory under contract law that earlier could be challenged in the courts.

Caleb Yirenkyi looks like another signing that's being lined up for Strasbourg rather than Chelsea, if I'm honest. He's clearly a talented prospect, but at this point every young player we get linked with makes me think they'll spend a season or two at Strasbourg before we even consider bringing them into the first team.

If memory serves, your Leicester scenario is eerily similar to Chelsea/Kakuta back in 2009. CAS ruled on appeal that the junior pre-contract was not valid and our transfer ban was struck out.

Well I am sat here in Dorset several thousand miles away from you and that thought came to me after I made the post.

In the end I seem to remember we paid compensation for Gael and the French club although not happy had no choice but to take it on the chin.
