    Orny s explanation of his wage makes more sense . Even with Chelsea cash 35k for an 18 year who has never even been on the bench seems unfeasible

    It is not uncommon for clubs to tie players down to contracts with huge wages. This is Man City mind.

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-city-transfer-news-former-1535436

    And then a year or so ago, Arsenal were paying Frimpong around £30k a week.

    http://arsenaltruth.squarespace.com/arsenal-truth/2012/11/4/arsenals-1434m-wage-bill-exposed.html

    Basically, this is done to safegaurd them. No other club will come in a try and buy them because their wages are so high. In today's footballing world, I'd say the reported £35k a week for Chalobah isn't far off the mark for a club like Chelsea. He is on a 5-year pro deal.

    Not sure if I remember correctly, but seem to recall we tried for Ake in January, but Chelsea said no.

    Challobah IS Coming Back!!!

    According to the Sunday People, he is coming back at his own request :jumping1:

    Apparently Chelsea were trying to get him to go elsewhere, but was given the final choice, and he insisted he wanted to return to us; despite other clubs being willing to pay his full wages.

    Nice one son :sign15::sign15::sign15:

    It was the headline on their football transfers page; so I reckon they must be pretty sure of their facts on this one!!!

    Wahey!!!!
    Another Chalobah RUMOR thread!

    Until he signs and is announced offically then there is no need to get excited. Its Chelsea we are dealing here, they make U turns and steal players from other clubs faster than a Vydra dash into the box.

    The number of times papers have 'exclusive transfer headlines' that turn out to be rubbish is endless. They don't care if they get it wrong.

    Obviously I hope it's true but I wouldn't say it's certain just because it's in a tabloid paper during the international break when there is no other news for them to report

    Be great IF it's true, was very influential in many games last season.

    Wigan are supposedly in for him too so it might come down to wages but soon find out....

    The biggest shock and surprise to me with this thread is that TVOR reads the Sunday People.

    Great news.

    Pretty poor from Chelsea that a club of their wealth have tried to put their financial interests above the best interests of a promising, young player's development though.

    This is a deliberate ploy from the club to stop me booing McGoogan. Not impressed.

    You can always boooo this new centreback bloke instead when he starts playing for us, that's what I'll be doing.
