The leverage as a selling club just isn't there once there is only a year left on a contract. We also got Kovacic on loan. I doubt we would of had him on loan if we did not sell Courtois to them.

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Commentators with their lazy analyses always say 'low centre of gravity' but he is so much more than that -his biggest asset is, like Lampard, is that rare beast -an intelligent footballer. Well we had some good years out of him. Still think he should have listened to Drogba, stayed, and become immortalised as a Chelsea icon. kc_blue, Superblue, the wes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we had some good years out of him. Still think he should have listened to Drogba, stayed, and become immortalised as a Chelsea icon. We all would love him to stay but I think he's likely planned this for a couple of years now. He would know that Chelsea would never willingly sell him and putting off a contract for so long it's allowed him to be able to get a move to Real Madrid just at the right time for him before he gets too old and not as attractive an option for them. A lot of people have complained on the forum that if the club had built properly around him he may have stayed but i disagree. I think Madrid was always something that he wanted to do and it wouldn't have mattered how much success we had, this would have happened. If this was his childhood dream he would have finished his career thinking 'what if?' if he hadn't have made this move and that's never a good situation to find yourself in. We provided him with a stage to become the player he has - winning trophies, winning mentality, given largely a more free role than others in the team to be the main attacking outlet and he has delivered at his end too by being our talisman. It was a great partnership and both parties will always look back on it all with fond memories.

Definitely, and you're right, in life if you don't take opportunities, there's always the residual 'What if ?' Think he'll be devastating with that new forward they have bought - thing is with Madrid it's politically driven, subsidised by the government, and their one big priority is beating the Catalan separatists at Camp Nou. I think they prioritise that over CL or anything. Hopefully he'll return when he realises their fans are fickle cunts , and white makes his arse look huge.

And even if it's trophies, do people really think Real won't win something again soon with the way they're rebuilding their squad? thank you for bringing reason into this, lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
