Chelsea is where players careers go to die, but theres always a fresh lot of fools that believe they are so unbelievably good they will be one of the few to survive it.

A rational person would look at what theyve done to players and steer clear. But most young highly touted players dont have their head on straight and live in a bubble.

Even if they don't get minutes, they'll be set for generational wealth.
Can't blame them to be honest.

To buy, sure.

A very intriguing option as a loan though. Imagine upgrading from Harrison to Grealish while just paying salary. Maybe even just a portion of salary

That's if he still has the fire, which I think he does.

As others have stated, it's probably a moot point anyway. But if Moyes thought he could get something out of him and the money made sense, I'd trust him

I just don't see a player getting loaned in at the start of a transfer window. If it was a purchase that would make sense, but I hardly see us going to purchase Grealish, I doesn't make sense. Best to file under, one to watch near the end of the window, if he's still available and that's still a position of need

Those Chelsea players must have hated winning a European Trophy this evening, just 4 days after qualifying for the Champions League - imagine they're kicking themselves at their choices.

Im sure they are loving watching from way up in the stands, eagerly looking forward to regaling their kids with great stories about how they were a professional bench sitter.

Its the kind of stuff that just motivates the youngsters these days.

Delap goes to Chelsea and grown men go to absolute bits on here.

Starting to lose serious faith in humanity.

Half of GOT if the Delap Saga goes into the 2nd week

There'll probably be an agreement between all parties that Chelsea sign him and then we loan him (or another club) for a season to break him in

Break him into what exactly mate? He's just had a full PL season under his belt

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

The money won't make sense though that's the issue.

He's still a very good player. 300k a week or whatever he is on is madness though, its priced him out of anywhere else.

That's what we said about Holgate

I can tell you with a degree of certainty that Liam Delap isnt the only forward in world football.

Thanks mate, set my mind at rest.

Thanks mate, set my mind at rest.

I've been up all night,worrying about you worrying.

Thanks mate, I’ll try and get over the constant nagging fear that things will go pear shaped. If matty1878 can embrace the new Everton way then so can I. I’m going to go for all out positivity from now on.

 

[Bob Elstone]

All conjecture thus far. Don't believe the press as the only lead they have is Delap's agent working to improve his percentage fees.

He will have a choice to make, all of the clubs will be offering the same wage. It's down to him to choose whether he wants to be a squad/rotation option, or a regular starter.

Find it amusing that nothing has been announced, yet there are people commenting here, "never wanted him anyway". We're defeated as a fanbase.

In what world would all the clubs be offering the same wage? Not a chance.

Everton won’t be offering the same wage as united or Chelsea.

Go forth with gusto,Kind Sir.

I think he could become one of our highest paid players and one of their lower tbh. What are talking- 100-150k? Surely no one is chucking 200+ at him?
I genuinely have no idea

Go forth with gusto,Kind Sir.

Was subbed at half time last night.

Arteta was a quality central midfielder and Gibson was actually a very good player too. But they were generally paired with Phil Neville who I always hated playing there. Totally out of his depth.

Gibson had 1.5 good years but flamed out massively. Was good during that time though, shame he couldn't be arsed
