Apparently Delap loan to Everton is almost done. Not sure if there is an option or obligation to buy in the deal structure.
If it happens, it will be interesting to see the loan fee.

Yes, Tom, and also how he fares there.

A loan for one of our players, Tom, I can't believe that.

More rumours about his move away from the Bridge. Apparently, Leeds, Forest and his old club Ipswich have all declared an interest in the lad.

Might feel a bit of a step back for LD to return to Ipswich, and not sure how their fans would respond. Though benefit for him would be familiarity. Everton under Moyes might suit him better, or Leeds.

tbh JBS, with how shockingly bad he's been since joining... He should be absolutely delighted any side in the prem is willing to take the gamble....

He's off to Forest, no?

Tom, he has been Sold, mate. £50 MILLION. Kaz, what a great deal by our owners, quite incredible how they do these deals. I'm sure you are super pleased as a Chelsea fan that our owners can play the market like this.

Less pleased that, with Jackson likely going, we have a 36 year old Welbeck as second choice striker....
Because, unlike you, I care about how we do on the pitch (shock football fan cares about football), and not how we cook the books (the club financials are not amazing by all accounts), but that's probably far too complex a conversation to have with you...

Kaz, you are always rude to posters who have a different view to you. Maybe it is a cultural thing, but try to be objective and nice.

Ok, Greeny, you've been spouting nonsense since the name change. If you can't take it, don't try and dish it, ok.

Isn't 2nd choice striker the lad we bought from Strasbourg? He looked good in pre-season and scored a couple.

Injured Fuser hasn't played a prem game, and has had injury problems all last season. I think he played less than 900 minutes in total, and one big injury specifically kept him out for ages. It may take him time to get back into the flow of things. His injuries kept him out of 33 games last year.

I think we all care about how Chelsea perform on the pitch. To suggest otherwise would seem odd to me.
