Ralph keeping his cards close to his chest regarding Broja. But he does confirm he is here until the end of the season no matter what. So Chelsea can't recall him.
However, as much as I would like to read into this, as he is here until the end of the season it is hardly surprising - what would be more surprising is a picture of him in a Chelsea shirt.
Wait until he posts one of his scoring against Chelsea… Edit: just realised how silly that it, ignore me!
Oh dear I think we pissed someone off! Talk about hypocritical - they did the exact same thing and worse with Lukaku! They don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Hugely disrespectful and unsettling to Hassenhuttl to speak about Broja – Talk Chelsea
I haven’t read it but it is nonsense to assume a smaller club like us has the leverage to tap him up and away from his 5 year contract And if his comments about negotiations are true then you’d assume Semmens would tell him not to speak or Marina would insist on it ?
Haha - I swear I hadn’t read this before making a tapping up comment. And it is in the first sentence
Deluded ravings of a lunatic that talk Chelsea piece. Talk about rattled! Apparently it was disrespectful to pretty much everyone. Chelsea - maybe? Tuchel - no. He doesn’t own him and has got bigger concerns. Chelsea fans - can **** off because again they don’t own him. Broja himself - how exactly ?!?! Never deal with Southampton again? You can tell this is coming from someone who literally has no idea how anything works. If that wasn’t obvious from the really casual conversational tone (seriously - using “mate” in a condescending way in an article as if Ralph is there in front of you) And then the good old “we” at the end for “we hold all the cards”. Chelsea do. Not some frothing at the mouth lunatic writing a blog. Reminds me of the Mitchell and Webb sketch with the football fan “we beat you”. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised both because I have seen how Chelsea fans reacted to these rumours on Twitter (like lunatics) and it is quite well known what Chelsea fans can be like (absolute garbage human beings) As I mentioned above - Ralph would presumably been briefed about what he could and could not say. Now maybe that is why the language is different this week than last - because someone had a word. But I’m not sure. Because even though Ralph was more vague and indirect there were all the social media tweets I guess it is funny that a little old provincial team still has it in them to completely trigger the entitled fans of one of the big boys into losing their minds
Spot on, esp your last para. I did read the article & it’s just pants. Chelski have now crashed dramatically on my “like / dislike” PL, which of course will have no effect on the Broja outcome, same as that article.
Not sure that is a good sign if it is the usual “first bid” situation where it gets pushed higher He is good and promising but not a 30m player yet. Time will tell
He's not a 30 mill player yet but he will be. I've no reservations of paying 25-30mill for a 20 year old striker who clearly has a lot of talent. Admittedly it's not my money though!
