Reece James

It's not "hate" to say we should strongly consider selling him, which is what quite a few people have come around to. It's not his fault, but we can't keep paying him obscene wages every week to play about 10 games a season.

Why use the word "obscene " when talking about his wages, that's unnecessary bo**ocks and exactly what he's talking about.

Nobody should use the word "obscene" to describe a footballers wages because it might upset Reece James? 😂

I think you've had enough Internet today. Put the keyboard down and take a break. 😂

You might have a long wait. The way Dan Burn just eased him out of the way from reaching Gallagher's through ball doesn't inspire confidence. Drogba or Costa would have left Burn on his arse staring at the sky.

Happy to give him a season to adjust like Drogba needed. Wasn't until JT or Lamps took him to one side before we saw the beast emerge. Costa was just wired differently and loved a fight as well as football. Patience is key to this season for me as a fan. Starting to see some of Poch's work taking root. up and downs for rest of season.

You don't think £250,000 per week is obscene?

All football wages are ridiculously. But that has literally nothing to do with an Injury, its just a nonsense way to bash a player. Or is there a cut off where wages aren't "obscene" and we shouldn't sell a player?

As mentioned above, I’m sure this was a difficult decision.  Nothing but support and good wishes for a healthy and speedy recovery. Can’t wait to see him back in Chelsea blue - better days ahead!

He only gets bought if he’s playing regularly and if he’s playing regularly he won’t be sold.

We will also likely have him insured against long term injuries.

Most wages are obscene in football, I agree. Combine that with a player who spends about 75% of the season out with injuries, and the rest returning from injury, and you can see why many are considering if we should sell him.

Fully get that, I understand why people want him sold. Just thought the "obscene wages" bit was unnecessary.

Because all of the wages paid to footballers is obscene. It's hardly a hate message is it really. Singling out a particular player and directing messages to him is unacceptable but seems to be a standard of life in this sh*t social media day and age. However a general forum comment that footballer wages are obscene compared to their work output is no worse than numerous social comments about Bankers and their bonuses during a recession.

Sorry but this happens in every single job regardless. If you are continuously off work on long term sick, regardless of the benefits you may be entitled to, i understand there is a point where your employer can terminate you employment simply because your output doesn't match your income

I can understand why some fans are losing patience and would like to see him sold. However, I don't think he chose to miss 75% of each season at any point. He has just had wretched luck with injuries. You could certainly question the decision by the owners to offer him such a lucrative, long term deal when he was already known to have some chronic injury issues.

Either way, while I will understand if we decide to take an offer from another club, it will still be a sad day.
