Given Chilwell came on and scored and assisted the winner he’s unlikely to be playing first team football as a starter until Chilwell gets injured or loses form. Price of being at a big club with options as good as if not better than you. Their fans also turn on players very quickly
Won’t help...
True, although I’m not sure Pep is as big a fan as he was a couple of years ago when they were turning us over, with ease, every game
Cucu going to Chelsea must have pissed him off as much as GP having the temerity to celebrate a winning goal. Hope so anyway
I am surprised that any Albion fan can have a single complaint about how Tony Bloom is running this club. I am living the dream but well aware it will likely end at some stage. Relegation remains a possibility for any smaller club trying live within it's means. I can only say that if it was my...
No surprise here but Potter is quoted in today’s Argus as saying Cucu takes most of the credit for becoming a world record breaking signing for Chelsea
When did the window shut? Shit we ARE in trouble. I was expecting us to bring in a few more players before it slammed shut and now I find it has closed :down:
I knew I should have stayed away from this thread when I said I would
Much as I like Cucu, I'd withhold judgement on him being one of the best LBs in the world until I've seen how he does at Chelsea. GP got the best out of him but let's see how he does under Tuchel.
I seem to remember Cucu being skinned a few times and bringing the player down for a free kick...
Have I missed something? Where does it officially say he’s sold and that Colwill is coming on loan?
I don’t believe a word Romano posts, he has jumped the gun numerous times already and been wrong on this.
Hopefully they've dispensed with that irritating and ill informed Sinclair?
I feel a bit dirty saying it but I often find myself nodding in agreement with Jordan
Dare I say that the jury is out on Lamptey since his injury, doesn’t look half the player he was when he made the first team. If he’d stayed at Chelsea he would have only got a game when Reece James was injured so his value would not have been substantially more than we paid, even now imo. In...
If Chelsea hold out for a buy back clause on Colwill I can see TB ending Cucurella talks with Chelsea like he did with City.
What none of the media or Chelsea fans seem to realise is that we don’t need or want to sell Cucu.
Can’t see Bloom being backed into a corner myself
It would have to be...
All true but I fear in a few years, unless we become a top six club, we are going to get very pissed off with others taking the best sweets out of the bag every fecking year :smile:
A quick read of Blue Moon tells me that Albion upped the Cucu fee by 10 million to 60 million once Chelsea came in. Lots of ITK posters on that forum who know more about Albion transfer business than Albion fans :shrug:
Oh and agents will be advising players not to come here because of our...
What makes you think I find it distressing? I find it moronic. Booing a player who turned off the motorway on his way to sign for us and went and signed for Norwich bears absolutely no comparison to booing a player who gave 100% all season and ended up player of the season. But you go ahead and...
