One good thing to come out of last night is that it's finally dawned on the media that England are shit and are coached by a bloke with a lamentable managerial record. As for the Ox and Barkley they have committed career hari kari just another couple of overhyped English players who will never deliver on the big stage.
Did you know Kevin Day used to be in the National Front ?. I only posted what a Palace fan said I don't really watch much football apart from Chelsea so have no idea how's he playing. There's far too much football and analysis it's extremely tedious especially from the likes of Keown, Savage, Crooks etc. If I'm not at the game I watch Chelsea in my local and we get the governor to turn on the telly five minutes before kick off to spare us the adverts and Carragher and Neville snoozefest. And I do the same at home find out the team and turn on just before kick off.
In the Guardian there's a fans view of the transfer window this is what a Palace fan said.
• Best buy: Sakho, given how well he did for us last season, though Loftus-Cheek has been a revelation
Didn't see much evidence of that a couple of weeks ago despite having 70,000 fans in the ground compared to our 3,000. A team that's won fuck all in the past 25 years apart from a couple of league cups. Shit fans, shit club, shit area.
The whole thing is utterly bizarre. Did he or did he not have a medical?. Everton clearly want rid of him yet he doesn't want to join us waiting for Spurs in January maybe. Or he signs a pre contract with us in January moves on a free next Summer and pockets himself a massive slice of the 35 million quid we were going to pay for him.
Well Barkley is a scouser he was probably worried someone would burgle his house while he was in London that's why he left the medical early
This window has just been bloody awful bordering on the surreal for Chelsea
You get the impression that Marina has done herself no favours and in football circles has the reputation as a hard arse who you can't do business with. Think the Llorente deal is the straw that broke the camel's back as far as I'm concerned. He's been on our radar since the January window and Spurs pinch him from under our noses.
He hadn't turned down a contract at Arsenal until a couple of days ago so what could anyone do ?, Chelsea get linked with loads of players all the time. He could quite easily have seen his contract out for another year or signed a new one we put in a bid Arsenal agreed the fee he turned us down end of.
I agree but it boils down to the Ox's personal choice nothing that the board can do about that. I'm slightly on the fence about this he's a good but not great player so I can't say I'm devastated about him not joining us. What I'm fucked off about is the Mickey Mouser's are going to start a chant about him turning us down like our Willian one. He's been compared to James Milner and I think that's a good comparison someone who's adequate in a lot of positions but not good enough to hold down a fixed spot.
There's been rumours he wanted to leave but he refused to sign a new contract only a few days ago what exactly are Chelsea supposed to have done ?. If we approached him outside of the transfer window we would get done for tapping up so your point about enquiring about his situation is invalid. Bottom line he was offered a deal by us he turned it down it happens.
