He would have looked on us as a regressive move for him.

Somewhere around there must be a competent young footballer who just wants to be given a chance, and is sat ready near his phone just desperately hoping that Stoke get in touch with an offer.
This player, according to sources, likes pink elephants and flying pigs, is a member of the flat Earth Society, knows for a fact what happened to Lord Lucan and firmly believes that Elvis lives.

According to Football League world ( FLW)
Neil Etheridge's contract at Birmingham City , gives him a sizeable pay rise if he makes more than so many appearances.
So , he is most likely moving this window , as he is got into contract issue , where unless Ruddy is injured , he won't be playing .
Hopefully he turns up at Stoke , and makes our flimsy looking goalkeeping situation , a bit more solid.

Never heard of him, any good? Tall, strong, box to box midfielder. Exactly the type that was missing from our CM. Good young age and signed on a four and a half year deal after journalists stated it would only be a loan. Good on the club for getting it permanent. West Ham fans are not impressed on Twitter, often a good sign.

Chelsea seem to be buying another expensive young right back, which will completely close the door on him there.
Wonder what will happen with Dujon Sterling - and whether anything permanent will develop with his contract expiring? Will both sides wait til the end of the season to see what his injury status and options are?

I may be wrong but I’m sure I read something to that effect the other day

Know Everton are very exposed to FFP right now, their fans were complaining about it earlier on Talksport. They have spent some £'s though over the last 7 or 8 seasons and haven't recouped much of it. Was the Chelsea transfer signing embargo under Lampard FFP related or was that something else they'd done?!

Think you’re correct and there’s also something about the contract lengths they are giving - eight and a half years for one of their new blokes. Yes they’re all on massively long contracts To circumnavigate FFP, the American owners of Chelsea spotted an accounting loophole which allows you to spread the transfer fee over the length of the contract. So for example, as Chelsea have just done, you sign a player for £80 million you an spread the cost over the length of the contract, in this case 8 years. So for accounting and FFP purposes the cost is £10 million per year. Now here’s the rub. Under current FIFA rules the maximum contract period is 5 years. So to get round this, players sign a 5 year contract with the OPTION of (in this case) a further 3 years. After the horse has bolted FIFA are closing this loophole at the end of this season, but in the meantime Chelsea and others are expected to make a number of similarly structured deals before the end of this transfer window.

Someone will be desperate enough sign him. He’s clearly a talented guy at this level.

So basically they’re taking advantage of a loophole and cheating to gain an advantage because the rules weren’t correctly worded. If there’s a club that really leaves a foul taste in the mouth it’s definately Chelsea. They really did get away lightly with using the blood money that funded their success.

Guessing like most things in life, rules are there to be broken & like any rule break, they'll always be a legal mastermind trying any which way to breach and expose the rules in the process to gain an advantage. The selling the ground is a common one which used to be breached to limit FFP. Sure Man City sold their training ground/facilities at some point aswell! Properly pushing the boundaries..
