Bad business to promise something and turn around and do the opposite, but they wouldn't have any recourse would they? No, I'm sure not but if we backtracked it certainly would not help our case if we ever wanted to sign young MLS players in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,398 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 #Chelsea are expected to pay around £2million for the services of New York Red Bulls defender Matt Miazga.

Chelsea4 1,521 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 SI: Matt Miazga would stay with Chelsea 1st team for at least 4 months before decision on whether or not to loan him http://on.si.com/1lSjVzu . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody seriously needs to be sacked from the board. Think this guy is just another young prospect which we'll buy cheap, loan out out and try and sell again after a couple of years for a profit. Papy and Hector fall into that category aswell. I don't think the club is actually thinking about them as starters. Unless they develop extremely well. Could be that he'll stay at the club first and take up the number 4 cb slot, basically taking over from Papy and then get loaned out next season. Falcao was a stupid deal (was against it the moment i heard about it). As long as Remy stays and we aren't left with just Costa, Pato and Falcao i'm fine with Pato. Seems like a low risk (low investment) / high potential reward to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably one of things that's pissing many people off. We seem more interested in gaining profit than actually strengthening the first team with quality players. Our squad depth and quality right now is absolute joke especially for a big club that wants to stay at the top, be better and win more trophies.

What's to say things won't be different with Miazga? This signing has similarity to the other players mentioned because they won't be here for long and they are nothing more than aimless/pointless signings done by the club.

Understand what you're saying but we've been doing this for some time now and it is beneficial for us in the long run. We've made plenty of profit on players from our loan system and that does help us in buying players for the first team. I've said it before in the transferwindow thread but i'm expecting nothing from actual reinforcements this window. We have very little to play for this season and we don't know who our manager will be next season so it really doesn't make any sense to buy players for the first team.

Pizy 18,994 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Is this really what Chelsea is becoming? Signing crooked strikers on loan and unknown, cheap players no one has ever heard of? Are we becoming a stingy, bargain basement club like Arsenal have been over the past decade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
