WooJung Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 That was a poor mistake. Can't be easy to come on against the best team in the world after never playing. That said, by all accounts he had the chance to leave and decide against it. Seems like a bad move for all parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often players that are that low down are not very good. Doesn't make them whatever weirdly aggressive thing you decided to randomly call him.

Why not wait until he gets an offer close to what he earns, or until we buy out his contract and release him. Maybe you should blame Emery for giving him minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 End of the day - good business decision by him. Not his fault we gave him these wages. Trains reasonably well, shows up on match days, doesn’t make a fuss and is professional. Everyone else is quiet quitting in the corporate world so I can’t really blame Chambers for doing the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows up as in literally shows up? Cos he certainly doesn't show up when he's on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david-avfc Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Not a great performance and mistake led to a goal but to be fair playing on average once every three months isn’t going to get the best out of anyone, need to part ways for both parties sake in the summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing is supposed to be his best attribute, yet he misplaces so many and always has. I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but he is rubbish at this level.

When he was playing regularly for Gerrard he looked OK, overall he is an OK player for a low end Prem team but we’ve moved on from that level since we signed him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 He's little more than someone to bring in to save legs at this point in a game we're not arsed about. It's a terrible place to be as a professional but it's his right to sit on his money. He'll be paid up in the summer or loaned out at great expense. It's not even worth getting angry at him. He's just miles off it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The half he had v Forest as a CB was alright, that's far more of a game to judge him on than last night when he was on at 3-1 down and game over. I say this in the nicest sense but hopefully he doesn't play a single more minute this season as that would mean all our defenders stay fit for the run in. Does he still have another year left after this season? I'm not really sure why we gave a guy in his late 20s who was completely out of favour at Arsenal a three and a half year deal. A year less and we could just release him on a free in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their countless injuries now Luton could do with a utility player like Chambers at this point in the season. Them, Burnley, Sheffield United, pretty obvious he'll end up at one of those clubs or go abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was o.k when he first came in and Konsa had that very dodgy period of form. Southampton 4-0, Leeds 3-0 when he curled it in top corner from outside the box. Ultimately he's 5th choice CB and 3rd choice RB so players in that position in a pecking order are either kids or just not very good anymore but can't get them out due to their wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had plenty of suitors from championship clubs in the summer to go and play regular first team football at his skill level but he'd rather hang around here like a bad smell. I agree he will be another piece of deadwood were going to have to pay off. Edited April 4 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he will be another piece of deadwood were going to have to pay off. He's 29 years old, earning very good PL wages, and his next contract is probably going to be 10% of that. He's making a sensible decision in seeing out his contract here and staying professional whilst doing that. It's not his fault the team around him has massively improved whilst he has stayed at the level he was always at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
