Posted June 17, 200915 yr HAR HAR HAR! Chelsea winger Sinclair on way to Bristol City Chelsea are ready to sell Scott Sinclair this summer. The Sun says Chelsea are ready to accept Bristol City's £15 million offer for Sinclair. http://www.tribalfootball.com/chelsea-wing...tol-city-251266
June 17, 200915 yr That would be a lot of money for Bristol...not sure if they could afford it without selling half of their squad. Edited June 17, 200915 yr by Maksimov
June 17, 200915 yr With all these crazy figures floating around in the transfer market these days, I say why not? If Ribery and Ibra are worth 70m then maybe Scott is worth 15.
June 17, 200915 yr That's terrible. I know he wasn't really spectacular but to sell one of our hottest youth prospects for a pittance is really bad...
June 17, 200915 yr Wasn't he one of the players we "stole" from Leeds for which we were dragged before a tribunal?
June 17, 200915 yr Wasn't he one of the players we "stole" from Leeds for which we were dragged before a tribunal? No - we got him from Bristol Rovers in a 'legit' deal. It was Woods and Taiwo we 'nicked' from Leeds.
June 17, 200915 yr I think it's a shame of true, he's one of those youngsters you really want to make it at Chelsea, well I do anyway
June 17, 200915 yr I really rate Sinclair. I think if he is given half a chance he could prove to be a good player for Chelsea.
June 17, 200915 yr hi bristol city fan here. yes it is 1.5 million not 15. just wondering what your oppinions of him are and if you think that he would sign for us?
June 18, 200915 yr hi bristol city fan here. yes it is 1.5 million not 15. just wondering what your oppinions of him are and if you think that he would sign for us? no i don't think that would happen, maybe a year on loan, but i don't think they would sell him, he would be a good player to ahve on loan for you guys though, and it would give him more experience
June 18, 200915 yr Sadly, I think we will see him leave this summer, but to be honest I think it will be a lower level premier league team or one of the contenders/recently relegated of the championship. Good lad, but it just looks like he's been deemed "Not Chelsea Material" by the coaches. Our only hope is that he's given one more loan to make or break his chances of first team play
June 18, 200915 yr All the changes in the management team probably haven't helped his case. He has looked promising, but hasn't really been given a chance in the first team. The usual story for our youngsters.
June 18, 200915 yr All the changes in the management team probably haven't helped his case. He has looked promising, but hasn't really been given a chance in the first team. The usual story for our youngsters. OR hes had his chances to impress in the ressies and on loan etc. and never really done it over a decent length of time and the coaches have decided hes just not good enough to play in our first team. which is my opinion too, hes never really kicked on and hasnt got anywhere near ready for the first team. not every young superstar makes it, the lower leagues are full of players built up as the next big thing who just didnt kick on and had to drop down levels to play. hes not the first and he wont be the last.
June 18, 200915 yr another Bristol City fan here. The Sun story may have started on our forum where one poster seems convinced this is for real. SS is from Bath after all, started off at the Gas (Rovers) and may feel the need for a starting place by now. As for affording him, our chairman is worth about the same as the Wigan and Reading guys, should he choose to spend it. He has sold shares worth £Ms in his main business recently to finance our new stadium. So do any of you actually have any inside info on this deal?
June 19, 200915 yr I haven't heard anything about it (other than on here) Leveller however Iwould not be at all surprised if he left in the summer. His career is stagnating with us and he needs to be looking elsewhere sooner rather than later.
June 19, 200915 yr I would rather loan him than sell him. He reminds me of when Ashley Young was at Watford. We need to loan him to the likes of Birmingham/Wolves who will play him alot and he can get some premier league experience. Few years, I think he can be class
June 21, 200915 yr at the moment it looks more like we are going to sign Lee Martin from Man Utd for £1.5M - I doubt we'd buy both him and Sinclair, being too similar. Probably two alternative "spinning plates" as Gary Johnson tends to call them.
June 22, 200915 yr Beat this: Banahene in Chelsea talks A player who has been out of action for 6 years linked with a move to Chelsea. And Chelsea is not even quoted anywhere in the article.

June 22, 200915 yr Bechem Chelsea is a team in Ghana Aah dammit. How could I forget! Stupid www.chelseanews.com! :angry:
June 23, 200915 yr Wasn't there a rumor doing rounds earlier that we want to replace Cech with Howlerio Gomes. I thought that should really have been it...the funniest transfer rumor ever. I'm talking about this... http://www.theshedend.com/index.php?showto...13&hl=gomes Edited June 23, 200915 yr by rahuldotchelsea
