His head has more likely been turned by trophies. I'm disappointed that he's handed in the request. I expected him to go but because the bid made us want to sell him rather than him forcing a move away. If he goes I want a better centre half than the one we've bid for. We need someone with experience of British football.

{Ed025's Note - his head has been turned pod...but its the money mate, and dont let anyone tell you different..

I wouldn't say it is entirely money, though it obviously plays a big part.

{Ed025's Note - i beg to differ mate..if they offered him the same wage as what we were paying do you think he would have gone...NO..

Pod it's all about the money, the agents don't want trophies they want cash, cash and more cash.

{Ed025's Note - your spot on woburn..

If Chelsea said john your up and coming and were willing to pay you 10k a week until you play 25 plus games a season for us.

He would want to play for Everton instead.

I don't blame him more money is obviously better. but he should be thankful that we took a punt on him and he's not playing for Wigan.

He should of stay with us play the season improve and then after the euros say he's off but the board and Chelsea would of had a year to prepare.

Loyalty is dead

Any professional sportsman wants to play at the highest level. Let's face it Chelsea can offer him that, we can't. I am gutted if he goes but surely 40mil ish can improve the squad. The biggest downside is time to spend it is running out

Any lad dreams of winning titles and trophies, but let's not gloss over the fact that his agent has got in his ear and has turned his head with promises of money. Not that anyone should blame him. If we could all do the same job with the same hours for double the money, we would.

{Ed025's Note - treble im hearing..

You get bought for 30 + mil your not ever going to get the same wages your arguments idiotic, plus Chelsea play more games than we do so in fairness he has to do more hours

I want him to stay ed like you but let's look objectively. Have we offered him more than his 30k a week? Is he worth more? Yes. Can we offer him anything other than midtable mediocracy? No. Can they offer him money and more? Yes. I'm in a similar situation at my work. Love the company love the people but for me to establish the life I want I require more than they can offer and it's not just my salary mate it's my personal objectives in life.
Just get as much as we can. Move on. Last time this happened we finished 4th.
Is there a guy called Sammy Mayhill in the championship or a Spanish kid called pickled marteta we can pick up on the sly like last time?

{Ed025's Note - you make a valid point svenny mate, still bloody stings though..

I understand all the crap about winning trophies an all but all he can see is pound signs in front of his eyes plus the timeing of this transfer request leaves a lot to be desired he must of known a couple of weeks back that he wanted to join the crap from Stamford bridge so he leaves it till a week before the transfer window so we have limited time to replace him as it turns out he is just like sterling didn't think I would be saying that let's just hope everton stay firm on what they have been saying from the start and he is not for sale if he is still at the club it will be very intresting to see what reaction he will get from the crowd on match day.

How many of you saying he's only going for the money would turn down a job offer of 120k a week? I know I wouldn't. Especially when your that young

Good point Duke, the timing is poor. The transfer window needs to shut on July 31st not August 31st. Squads need to be finalised before the start of the season, so we don't have this situation.
