I like Buy back. 

If he doesn't want to sign a contract, that is the best option available. 

People trot this out ignoring, or seemingly ignoring, the fact that anything which goes into a contract is a matter for negotiation. If Player and buying club do not agree than there's no buyback. Given that in six months time Callum will be available for a 'development' fee only, one possibly set by an independent body if the clubs don't agree, Chelsea's bargaining power is quite limited.

Worse, if press stories are to be believed, Bayern keep upping their bid. That must mean that they are getting encouraging noises from Callum's camp. Worrying.

He has a year and a half left on his contract. Wouldn't the development fee be applicable if he left next summer, not this one?

My mistake then. Thanks for the correction. 18 months gives us more power at the negotiation table.

Agreed. I would be fine with him not signing a contract in January, but not leaving. It would let him see the season out and see if he is actually going to get regular playing time now that Sarri has seemed to come around. We may lose 10 mil if bayern come back in the summer and he still wants to leave. But that 10 mil is worth the risk.

he just lost an important game - leave him alone.

How did he play (against Spurs)? Considering the lack of understanding with his teammates, naturally.

But did he look lively? Tracked back when necessary not letting players walk past him. Did he make runs without the football?

The game was held hostage in ESPN+ so likely no one saw it in the US.

More impressive first half than second half but 80 mins against Spurs at his age, injuries or not, plus Sarris comments, hopefully food for thought.

Guess the people in the US have to get in on the streaming game

All links ask you to install a lot of (questionable) crap.
