Ed001 After losing so much money how can Chelsea sign Rodgers for£117m.
Record losses for the Premier League I think am right in saying no European football yet they are already at nearly £200m spend.
Yet Villa and Newcastle can't spend.
{Ed001's Note - they are selling players. They have a huge amount of fringe players.}

Test them for Estevao.

Estevao's hamstring is absolutely buggered, I heard that he'll likely have serious injuries for the rest of his career due to the severity of it (it was a grade 4, which is the worst). Hard pass on that lad, he's as good as finished.

V strange Rodgers accepting move to Chelsea, who have no European football at all ahead of going somewhere else r staying at Villa who have Champ League football. Can see why an attacker wouldn't be that keen on going to Arsenal the way they play. I think Rodgers excellent player, and wouldn't have minded him at LFC.

We don't need a no. 10, Digger, we have Wirtz, Szob and Eliott.

Fly, missed half the season with repeat hamstring injuries. At only 19yrs old, that's a really bad sign. I'd be steering well clear until he can prove it's not going to become a long term issue.

Last two seasons they are net profit on transfers. Wages are also very low, but big incentives.

If the worst comes to the worst, they can always sell Rogers to themselves in the future.

Ed001 it all seems wrong Chelsea just seem to somehow spend what they want after break rules in the past yet the likes of Villa and Newcastle stick to to rules and get punished for doing so.
As for Rodgers does not show great drive to be the best.
Chelsea have been a mess for a long time now why he was not pushing for the Arsenal move just looks like money driving him.
{Ed001's Note - I think it was more about partnering up with his best mate, Cole Palmer.}

Apparently it wasn't far off a complete tear Chewy, grade 4 is severe, he's still out injured and that kind of injury will always return, sorry to say it but he's defective goods.

@VV, He is back in full pre-season training already though. It does make sense to wait out a year though and see how his hamstrings are holding up. But the lad had so much potential, it would be such a shame if his career would fizzle out like this.

I wouldn't want to touch a player who relies on pace who's had a grade 4 tear.
It doesn't matter how much of a recovery he's made now, he'll always be susceptible to a repeat of the injury, and a tear that severe will leave scar tissue that will always be weak. Estevao is finished. Anyone stupid enough to be buying him is buying defective goods.

You can't compare Rogers with Elliott.
Not yet, anyway.
