Any eds, last January window we was severely linked to celtic dembelle, do you think we will go back in for him in the summer window?, it seems to me that we will buy more than 1 striker this summer, as Costa seems almost certain to leave, and rumours Batshuyai will leave also, am I right in thinking it will be morata or lukaku plus 1 more?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea made an acceptable offer for the player in January but he wants guaranteed playing time and Chelsea would not give it - as such he turned down the offer. The interest remains but Chelsea will not give in to his demands so he would need to adapt accordingly.}

Demanding playing time is ridiculous. you get a chance and you grab it with both hands!

Well he stay at Celtic for the rest of his career then.
{Ed002's Note - He has to change his standpoint - and, for information, some clubs are happy to give commitments.}

I got no problem with players asking for playing time assurances, he's prob looked at Costa playing almost every minute of every game and michy who hasn't really got a look in, in alll fairness we have been winning 4-0 against Utd at home with 20 minutes left and still Costa plays, it's happend alll season Costa has been dreadful since Christmas up until a few games ago, his touch was poor he couldn't pass his shooting was off he was dreadful and still no michy, we recently played Middlesbrough at home 2nd bottom in the league 2-0 up at half time and again no michy, so I can see why he would want playing demands it could of been in the case that if Costa don't score for 7 matches and plays bad, can he at least have a run of 3-5 matches to prove himself, football isn't always black and white.
