We werent willing to give him that time which is fair enough and we made our choice Have you read the article from Percy? We offered him very good money and the opportunity for a starting place. Find another reason to have a go at Gerrard/the club as they couldn’t have done much more in this scenario apart from absolutely destroying our youth and first team wage structure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did we not give him an opportunity last season but try to bribe him by forcing him to sign a new deal. Only 2 senior players played less minutes for us last season and our midfield was crap for the most part lot of bitterness on this from people that people cant actually accept that he was bought by a bigger Champions League team for a lot more money than people expected. He is in the top 20 transfer fees for a teenager of all time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Hearing John Terry called him over during training in the fall of 2020 and leaned into Carney’s ear, and calmly whispered “Heil Hydra” and the deal was done there and then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It is what it is. He came here as a kid to progress his career after we were absolutely chucking it recruiting all the best kids up and down the country. He's gone to his boyhood club (allegedly) to progress his career and earn a shit ton and he probably will play games for them next year. They are in a lot of comps and we are a bit stacked in the 10s and wide players role. People need to relax. He owes us nothing. We're a business. We poached a kid for compo fees that are insult to academies up and down the country. He's worked hard and he's off and we got £20m. **** relax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 People get really silly over players leaving. Shit happens, he’s obviously got a significant amount of potential and in all likelihood will go on to become a very good player. We’ve missed out, ces’t la vie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in the top 20 transfer fees for a teenager of all time He was given plenty of opportunity but didn’t grab that starting spot. The club did exactly the right thing by saying commit or we’ll give the opportunity to someone else. He was never going to sign a new contract that much is clear so unless you’re saying we should have willingly allowed ourselves to be shafted by a youth team player I don’t get your point. I’ve not seen much bitterness from anyone apart from you implying this is a failure on Gerrard’s/purslows part when most are quite happy with the outcome.

picicata Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I suspect he'll leave Chelsea not having played as many PL minutes as he played for us last season. That's his choice, we can now concentrate on the youth who do want to play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yep, turned down the chance to play regularly for a BIG Premier League club and learn from one of the best midfielders he could have learned from, to go to another big (£££££££'s) premier league club who he may have far less game time with and all because he liked them as a glory Hunting fan as a Kid. Meanwhile he then has the gall to make a statement saying "every kid wants to play for a "big" club." Okay Then Another JT masterpiece no doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ He can join his favourite club, and i'm fine with us not being able to compete with that or tempt him to stay. I am more than fine with receiving £20m for him. The fact he grew up in Northampton supporting Chelsea, I'm not fine with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
