So I watched Bertrand last night.

He looked decent in defence and average in attack. Linked well with Tadic at times. Not good enough for us but certainly good enough for Soton.

PVA has looked outstanding in his first three games. Smh if Luis doesn't establish himself, would have been much better to keep PVA.

Do we have a buy-buck option on him? I have always believed in him tbh.

Doubt it.

Meh that sucks. Some of our policy irks me. 1) we never put in a buy back option. 2) we keep loaning players long after knowing they have no future at Chelsea ex: Marin, cuevas, Kakuta, etc

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 6:06 am

In fairness we've managed to find Marin a loan with an option to buy at the end of it, Kakuta we can't give away, and Cuevas is still up in the air.

I am not too bothered about PVA going, while it would have been nice to keep him, Luis is always a better player.

Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay defends decision to loan out 26 players:
Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay has defended the club's loan system which has seen 26 players shipped out on temporary deals this season
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2757770/Chelsea-chief-executive-Ron-Gourlay-defends-decision-loan-26-players.html

"What people don't see is that it's a massive development piece. I'll give you two examples: De Bruyne and Lukaku."

"They were both bought as strong potential future players. We knew they had enough pedigree. Both players were very much in our plans. It didn't work out and the opportunity arose to sell them. Best for the club and best for the players."

"The loan system is not just a matter of saying, 'Okay, we'll see you in 12 months.' We've only loaned players out to teams that allow day-to-day communication by our management team. Within 30 minutes of a game finishing, every player reports into someone at the club."

"That's the reason that these players develop."

I understand why people hate it, but the system is working so why not stick with it.

I would like to see some players reduced though.

by rwo power Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:39 am

Well, maybe they consider to let Thorgan Hazard stay in Gladbach after the end of the loan? ^^

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:49 am

Dream on

by Kick Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:55 am

I was actually talking about the likes of Kakuta and others who will obviously not make it.

Thor has to stay so he can play with his bro.

Jamal Blackman starts in goal against Liverpool.

Bamford among the substitutes.

by Shed Tue Sep 23, 2014 7:57 pm

Oh my. Major gaffe by Jamal and Liverpool are one up on 10 minutes...

by Shed Tue Sep 23, 2014 10:43 pm

Astounding penalty shootout in the Liverpool vs Boro game that saw a staggering 14 taken each included a save by Jamal on Sterling to force it past the first five, one scored by him later on when it got to #11, one missed by Bamford, one scored by Bamford, and one scored by Omeruo Laughing
