      As a guitarist albeit a below average one I’ve always hated seeing Guitars trashed on stage by anyone.

      Nil I don’t think Liam Gallagher has ever lacked personality or individualism in fact the reverse.๐Ÿ˜Š

        Cream always rises to the top and whatever sport anyone plays and at whatever level you have to give your all.

            Brian, Sterling’s price was a reflection of only one year being left on his contract and the fact that he wanted to move on.

            Re Ake it takes three parties to agree a transfer and City wanted more than Chelsea thought Ake was worth, a difference of ยฃ10m for instance is generally considered small beer by most and under the previous administration the transfer would have probably gone through the new administration though won’t pay out more than they think a players worth.

            My point however was merely that it wasn’t because Chelsea didn’t have the cash as you suggested and as continued Chelsea activity in the transfer market proves it was a question of valuation.

            I understand your views on Ake he’s a useful player and you would have to replace him which wouldn’t be easy. Cheers 9’s

              Brian,”Adlab..yes I am pleased Ake is stayingโ€ฆfor nowโ€ฆChelsea may have the cash at Christmas though”

              Chelsea didn’t pull out of the deal for Ake because they lacked the cash they pulled out because they didn’t agree with City’s valuation of him.

                “The BBC has been forced to apologise after wrongly showing a photo of Raheem Sterling during a report on a Premier League footballer arrested on suspicion of rape.

                Sterling was announced as Chelsea’s latest signing, and the image of him in his new kit accidentally appeared in the background. The player accused has not been named.

                “A Premier League player arrested on suspicion of rape has not been suspended and can fulfil his professionalโ€ฆ” the host said, before suddenly stopping. “Weโ€™ll have more on that story a bit later on.”

                As “xxxx ups” go they don’t come much more embarrassing than this.

                As usual the internet is full of who the alleged player is.

                  “Ake has been linked with a move back to Stamford Bridge for several weeks. It had been claimed personal terms were agreed for him to join Thomas Tuchel’s side.

                  However, Chelsea will now have to look elsewhere. The Athletic claims City were not keen on selling Ake in this window, seeing his versatility as a crucial part of Pep Guardiola’s side.

                  Chelsea were also not able to meet the Premier League champions’ valuation of the player. A mutual decision has therefore been reached between City and Ake for him to stay at the club, which he is claimed to be happy with.” Express

                    Ed, as Tuchel has said Chelsea are rebuilding rather than strengthening.

                    On Koulibaly I think you’re wrong there’s been a lot of interest in Koulibaly over the years Chelsea themselves have made several attempts to sign him but De Laurentius has always been a very difficult man to deal with but this time round although De Laurentius still didn’t want to lose him Koulibaly was in the last year of his contract and refused to renew it which left Napoli having to sell him or risk losing him on a free.

                    Personally I think Koulibaly is potentially the perfect replacement for Rudiger but time will tell.

                        Cheers Sean.

                        I think how Chelsea do this season will depend on how we finally do in this transfer window I think the bookies have got it about right with their PL odds and personally I think a CL place given all the circumstances is Chelsea’s best option this season and that won’t be easy.

                        I can only see the PL title race being a two horse race again. Cheers 9’s

                            Adlab, to be fair any Club that spends a lot of money gets a reaction from the press Chelsea have had it for years it’s certainly not special to City.

                            Ironically Chelsea have yet to announce a signing although Sterling looks done and I think he will be a good signing others to follow I hope certainly in defence.

                            Yes I’m over Covid thanks and looking to get stronger now and add to my mobility and hopefully get home soon.Cheers 9’s

                              “I grew up as a Chelsea fan and I made my name playing for Chelsea the club Iโ€™ve always supported,” James said. “I donโ€™t see why that would change, I play for Chelsea now and Iโ€™m enjoying it.” Reece James

                              Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports, Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount hopes to sit down and discuss a new Blues contract over the next couple of months.

                              “I’ve got two years but I’m extremely happy at this club. I’ve been here since six years old.” Mason Mount

                              The above two players and two new improved contracts for them are probably the two most important signings the new owners can make.

                                Adlab, I know you’re a decent fella but this almost daily diatribe from you re City proffesing “no one likes us everybody hates us” is getting beyond tiresome now and I’m not the only one to point this out to you.

                                For your own good and the good of the site please try and find another record to put on the turntable Adlab.

                                    Brian, beauty nearly always is in the eyes of the beholder. I think City fans are a far better judge of City players than anyone else because they watch them in every one of their games.

                                      Jonny Evans has been a terrific signing by Leicester given what they paid for him

                                      He may not be the quickest but his positional play and his defensive nous has made up for that the problem is that he is very injury prone and at 35 next birthday that situation is unlikely to get any better and the Leicester defence is extremely vulnerable even sometimes when he plays.

                                      Centre back is an area that Leicester badly need to strengthen in the Summer and it’s a difficult area to do that.
