I was told some time ago that Sadiki was on the Chelsea shortlist of desired midfielders.
I have been watching him over the last few weeks and again in today's game. If the price is right I'm sure we be asking Sunderland about his availability but the I guess so will a few other teams.

I would love to know the Ed's opinion of the the lad?

{Ed001's Note - I love Sadiki. I wanted Liverpool to sign him in the summer. Excellent player. very reminiscent of N'Golo Kante.}}

Thanks Ed. He looks a talent. I wouldn't mind him at the bridge that's for sure.

{Ed001's Note - they will really struggle it they lose him.

If people on here think Palmer is a special player then Chelsea ain’t challenging any time soon. No team that I am aware of sells players & replaces them with inferior ones go on to do much. Also Chelsea are still being done in the transfer market.

I think most people think that Palmer has a long way to go before he is considered "special." At the moment he is far too inconsistent. He does have "moments" of class
I'm not we are being "done" in the transfer market.

I was happy enough with our business in the last window but I would have liked an extra midfielder but we couldn't have tried much harder to fill that gap!

What Cole does not need is an idiot who is currently running the England team, knocking his confidence.

If he does not want to pick him, fine but don't give several long hour documentaries on tv or the media on why he did not pick him.

I have not seen posts from "EdW" or "J" in ages. I hope you are both keeping well?

Tom, perhaps I am being over sensitive but if your being smart after the event comments were directed at me, I would love me to point out that I was saying that at the time Mount was parading around as "Mr Chelsea "
I was pleased as punch when we offloaded him to Man United for £55 million although they got their own back with Garnacho.

I would have kept Trev but given his pure profit and Fofana being on £200K a week and with no takers it was inevitable that Chalobah would be sacrificed.
As for Jackson, I have no regrets that we sold him, I found him to extremely frustrating to watch.

The only top class player I didn't begrudge leaving was Eden. He deserved the opportunity and like it or not, Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. Don't forget with the add ons, he was the gift that just kept giving.

On a side note, I don't see any team stopping Arsenal from winning the title. They are efficient and know how to win games and have a very solid defence. I am neutral about other clubs coaches but I can't stand Arteta, the way he moves around the technical area like he's trying to hold in a fart really irritates me.

He had come through the Chelsea youth system won a Champs League and voted POS two years on the spin by Chelsea fans. I think it's probably reasonable to feel some attachment to a club you have been at since you were a nipper.

The club didn't offer him what he wanted so he left, it happens, who cares.

I don't "begrudge" any player leaving mainly because I don't want us to keep unhappy players, players who can get better deals elsewhere or more playing time at another club. Players only get one shot at a career, good luck to them.

Unlike some around me on Saturday, I did not boo Mason M. on Saturday and never will. When with us he gave 100% and was rightly voted POS two seasons in a row. I will also never forget his inch perfect pass for Havertz's well taken goal in the Champions League final v City.

JBS. I agree 100% with your post.

Yesterday VAR called the Estavao goal as offside, I am still not convinced that was the correct decision but in the today's TV there was a clear and obvious penalty that the ref and VAR completely missed. It was a joke decision.

No doubt an apology will be forthcoming but it just isn't good enough to say sorry. Heads should roll and although I am generally not a fan of conspiracy theory's, incidents like these do make you think something is going on!
