Multiple sources saying Chelsea are set to bid £8m for Darlow. This one may have legs. If that's the opening bid I honestly think we'd sell for £10m+. With Krul and Eliot we have potential options for next season and maybe this season of Krul is recalled. I really don't wanna see Darlow do though. He has a bond with the fans and is getting better and better.
Surely Rafa would put his foot down here? Darlow's playing a blinder atm and Rafa isn't going to risk derailing his promotion bid just so Ashley can show off another example of his "buy low, sell high" business model. We know Sels is a freaking liability, and Elliott's been out injured for so long that we can't rely on him coming straight back in and being in his best form. If this does happen, it won't be until the summer.
Isn't it a fixed season long thing for Krul? Would rather have Elliott in goal than Keil, Krul wasn't bothered towards the end with us, and has always been massively overrated.
Inclined to agree. None of our keepers are worth this sort of money even with the transfer increases. I'd say Darlow is our 3rd best behind Elliot and Krul but they're all bottom half of the Premiership/ top half of the Championship standard. No more.
How do you know what and what Rafa won't do ? It always interests me when people think they know what another person will do .
