Moises Caicedo to Chelsea! "Official"

It's sad to see a player like him this bad. Form dropped off a cliff
We know he is much better than this. Same as others like Palmer. Yet most day he is playing poorly due to injury.

Could t be they have just given up on this nonsense project.

Nope.. it’s the presence of Enzo & Palmer causing problems. There is only so many fires he can put out.

 
I thought that he was quite bad last night. He needs a rest.

I agree, but I think it is unlikely. BlueCo will insist he plays in the last 8 games in the PL.

Maybe Essugo fills in against Port Vale ? Assuming he's fit :-)

Just another media driven hatchet job. Not even remotely close to dissing the club. The reality of every single thing life is that you never know. What a typical load of horsesh*t from baiting lazy journos. Tom Coley another mindless twat stealing a living

 
More words of player ambition... and its the issue with our recruitment strategy. Players want to win, be at the biggest and best clubs and we're not the biggest or best club anymore. the wheels have com off.

I dont doubt our best players, in a world cup year, are all angling for better contracts or clubs that match their ambition. Not sure we can match their ambition.

So we are a developing/ selling club.

Is it though? Or is it because you dont want to believe it

I think your kidding yourself if you think players are going to hang around. Winning bugger all and not even getting top wages

I don't disagree that players are pissed off, but when you have got Spanish speaking players being interviewed in Spain about where they would prefer to live, who is really surprised that they would like living in Madrid one day but who knows.

These are taking fairly non committal comments being made by players when they are in the spotlight and just making headlines out of it. Cucurella was a simple, yes one day, on the basis hell be pushing 30 then and if he can finish his career where he started good luck to him. Caicedo now is just pure baiting for headlines. Talksport no doubtvare already lining up a special with Simon Jordan, Danny Murphy and a tumescent Jim fking White.

Much as I am sure that Fernandez is pissed off and just wants to win things, he has had a long list of sh*t joke managers here to work with and a boardroom of mindless twats, but it is only when he is staring down the barrel of a pay cut under the terms of a contract that his very handsomely paid agent got him to sign, that he suddenly wants to pipe up. The rest for me is pure press baiting. Same with Palmer on the Manchester thing. Next it will be Estevao is homesick and doesn't want to be here

So, given what you have outlined, if you were a chelsea player, would you be looking for another club? The players are waking up to the fact theyve been sold a dud project. For us mortals its like buying a home offplan and watching the foundations getting flooded out and not setting before construction starts on the walls, the wonky finish will see the roof fall in as people sleep.

Once again I'm not disputing that they are pissed off. My point is that the current bo**ocks we are seeing is purely media driven. Cucurella already renegotiated his contract in the summer. The players generally are making non committal comments to the press that are then being used. They are not idiots, they know the press are w**kers. I dont have a problem with it as i want the fckers gone as well. At most I think their agents will be trying to ensure they can gain some leverage on the possible salary hits.

If it is as real as the press are dressing it up then it wouldn't be the first time. Hazard was twerking his arse to Madrid every international break and he's one of our greatest players.

The Hazard one I have sympathy for, as he had to drag reiterations of those Chelsea squads to wins, as our standout player, playing around some absolute dross at the time. Same for Didier when he was looking outside the club, or at least his agent was, when we were always trying to replace him, whether it be Sheva, or Torres.

Precisely, it's all smoke and mirrors to distract us from pushing the owner out

Very true, but its a stinking WC year and the merry-go-round will go on, a player has a god tournament and everyone starts sniffing. TBH, not sure its a bad thing, perhaps some do need to go in order, especially if LR remains in charge, to get others in for his brand of football.

Caicedo is probably world class, I think we all see he can be an elite talent, not sure if that will be with us... why? In terms of timelines, im back to feeling like i did in the mid 90's - hoping that we can challenge for cups and honours and keep our best players. Next we'll be signing United cast off's like Harry McGuire a la Mark Hughes era... (he would definietly improve us as well) Imagine if Madrid came for fofana to replace Rudiger and we could get him back on the cheap. I think this is the sort of player we'll attract in the summer and going forward if we dont maintain top 4 and a cup run.

 
Caicedo has been poor recently. I don't know whether he is coasting a bit with one eye on the World Cup, or perhaps he is fed up with the project. But he hasn't been right in a while. I won't be surprised if he is one of several players who puts in a transfer request at the end of the season.

To where? We overpaid by £30-£40m, no one is paying anything close to £100m for him

Disconnected because of the World Cup. Like most of the squad. Mentally they are not here anymore. We only get a part of the story through newspapers and social media, but surely there is another part that involves the players and how they feel about this project that can only be heard behind closed doors and in small private circles.

Every fan can see this team lacks experience in key areas and players like Caicedo, Palmer, Fernandez, Cucurella, James can feel it, too. A joke of a GK, buffoons in central defence, no top partner for Caicedo in midfield, bang average wingers. I feel that we missed an incredibly good opportunity after the Club World Cup. Chelsea was on the up at that moment and able to attract important players, yet the board again spent over 200M on bang average young players.

The 3-0 Barcelona win was another moment we did not take advantage of. Again the club was on the up and the vibes were good and then everything fell into pieces.

This board simply can't stop interfering with everything. They are obsessed with it. And if the owners decide to shake things up a little bit in terms of transfers, they will have the same sporting director clowns in charge of dealing with everything...

Real Madrid are desperate for a DM and they'd happily spend that either in cash or via player exchange knowing that Winstanley and Stewart would eat their hand off for the chance at an overvalued Mastantuono or Gonzalo Garcia.

Caicedo has, for nigh on two years, been the best DM in the world, and we shouldn't let a rough few months diminish that. In fact, it does a massive disservice if we fail to recognise just how much his excellence has held together a rubbish defence and system under both Maresca and Rosenior.

Real(Perez) doesn't splash big on DMs that don't contribute to the attacking phase of the game.
