I would have thought it was the best move for all involved and the fans may benefit as well: 1) Ajax - he is out of contract next year so his value will drop over next few months 2) Chelsea - get the deal done and dont have to waste time in window 3) Player - has his future sorted so can concentrate on playing for Ajax till season end Fans benefit because they have a settled player who can enjoy his final season with club.
^ This. His contract was running out and they knew he wasnt going to sign a new one, he wanted out. This way it gets done, Ajax get a decent price and the player can relax and see out the season without the media controversy and all that other bullshit
@Tobes Another thread ban gave me time to think! there's only one way I can take a chunk of you and your tyrannical reign!! ok son I'm going for it !! toon to beat Arsenal ... avy change one month.
↑He didn't take him out. He got slashed to **** and ended up with 80 stitches. He was also denied compensation because of a criminal conviction for racist abuse of Muslims in a separate incident, He said: 'I'm national front and you stink.' Then he got knicked for being a drug dealer says who. Says Roy Larner himself, who admitted racially aggravated common assault and religiously aggravated harassment at Inner London Crown Court
That's correct except for point one. He signed a new deal in August to extend his contract by a further a year (to 2022) and remove the £27m release clause. Great deal for Chelsea though, very, very good signing for them if he replicates his Eredivisie form.
Yes shame we could not get him this season, we need a bit of fresh blood and have gone a bit flat. Hopefully winter break return of Puli and RLC will help
