We Hate Scouse 10,332 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have to say, it's kinda mess up they kick out Mellis for this, and they did not kick out Cole for his riffle thing.Terminating Cole's contract would cost millions. Replacing Cole would cost millions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_3d 1,140 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Terminating Cole's contract would cost millions.

So we kick Cole out and replace him (With who?) at a cost of £30 million+.....Financial fair play comes around...Cole got fined quarter of a million for what he done. Completely fair and understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Considering Billy Clifford signed a 4-year contract this year I'm not surprised at the outcome.I'd even say this is "ideal" for Chelsea. Mellis didn't look like he'd break through, in the role he plays, so this doesn't really come as a shock (even with WHS telling us prior to today).

SeB 1,281 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 It was a golden opportunity for him to kickstart his career, anyway I wish him the best and I'm pretty sure he won't struggle to find a club.It's a shame because he showed great things for several years in the reserves, but when we see that even McEachran is (logically) not playing because of the requirements & intensity ; it was clear that Mellis had no future except being loaned again and again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I never really knew much about him. How good is he? How good can he become? It'll be a shambolic decision if he turns out to be world class and comes back to bite us.The kids not very smart, it must be said.

English Freak 456 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I never really knew much about him. How good is he? How good can he become? It'll be a shambolic decision if he turns out to be world class and comes back to bite us.The kids not very smart, it must be said. Throwing around smoke grenades in a post 9/11 world He's an average midfielder. He'll do fairly well in the Championship, might get the chance to play in the EPL later on his career. Don't think he'll ever become world-class.In recent times, the only youth we've sold/let go who might become close to world-class is Fabio Borini. As for Sinclair, Stoch..who knows, maybe they could of patched up our problems out wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing around smoke grenades in a post 9/11 world They brought it back from a paintball game between the reserves and the academy, the video is available on the club's youtube channelBut yeah it's not very smart.Sounds like a scapegoat in this whole incident. Wasn't Billy Clifford who brought the grenade in?Buisness matters at the end of the day.Mellis has no future at the club, Clifford has a little future depending of the evolution of the right back position and maybe the midfield one. Anyway he wouldn't be the only player to be a bit or really stupid, but it's not what really matters.Contract hasn't been terminated, it's just been mutally canceled. So I think both part saw an opportunity to stop the relationship. Bad faith people would say that it's what Mellis eventually wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
