Guest Frandsen08 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 knight loves defending a throw in, he either loves to head the ball out for one or send a 50 yard ball out for one. Quote
Zico Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 That's his biggest problem for me same here one clumsy fucker always sliding in, in dangerous positions and that header V Everton that let Saha in, half arsed at best I don't think he's arsed most of the time Quote

BOWTUN BAKED Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 2 things 1 knight isn't particularly slow 2 you can look slow if your positioning, reading the gqme and reaction times aren't great; It isn't always just about pace Behave.... ...I've seen North Atlantic Oil Tankers with quicker turning circles than that dopey lump.

jules_darby Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I've said it before and I still believe that Knight doesn't have a lack of pace His positioning, decision making and reaction times are poor, which often make him overall slower, therefore looking like he has less pace I'd put 4 figures on him clearly beating Wheater in a straight 100 yard dash None of this means I think he's good enough or better than Wheater BTW, I'm just saying it's not all about pure pace Quote

Casino Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 whatever else he can or can't do, he won't put his head in where it hurts not good enough ina centreback, imo i remember stoke when we won with those taylor goals first half, balls into the box, i was 20 yards away almost at pitch level, and i swear he was turning his back on the ball Quote

ROSSENDALEWHITE Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Cahill deal signed by end of today I've heard! Quote
anewman Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 well we are now well and truly fucked, the one last bit of class at the club has now gone. it seems like a bad dream since we had anelka, jayjay, youri, bruno, hierro campo etc now we have paul robinson and zat knight Quote
BOWTUN BAKED Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 not sure what that has to do with pace??? Absolutely nothing..... because I didn't refer to his pace. HTH Quote
Guest Frandsen08 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 chelski ready to pull the plug? http://http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Chelsea-transfer-gossip-Gary-Cahill-must-agree-to-move-from-Bolton-on-Thursday-or-Blues-will-move-on-article852134.html Quote
Mona Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Seems our star player ain't worth the Terry millions???? Chelsea are hopeful of completing the deal for Bolton Wanderers' Gary Cahill today following delays over the buying club's insistence that new financial fair play regulations (FFP) mean they are prepared to pay him a relatively low ? by their standards ? ?50,000 a week. It has meant a longer than usual negotiation with Cahill and his agent, John Seasman, who had been taken aback by Chelsea's original offer and Andre Villas-Boas's announcement at the end of last month that the two parties were "miles apart". The club agreed a fee of around ?6m with Bolton long ago but wages have taken much longer. Chelsea regard their ?50,000-a-week opening offer as the way forward. With the pressure of complying with FFP, introduced from last summer, the club told Cahill that the days of them handing out contracts in the ?90,000-plus-a-week category to anything other than the biggest stars are over. In the past, it has been the negotiations with the selling club that have proved the sticking point in Chelsea transfer sagas ? such as the protracted negotiations with Lyons for Michael Essien and later Florent Malouda ? but with Cahill it has been the issue of his wages. Chelsea are not prepared to return to the days when big contracts were a matter of course even for those players who were not considered integral to the team. The club went through a big clear-out of high earners when they released the likes of Michael Ballack, Juliano Belletti, Deco and Joe Cole. Recent additions to the squad, such as Oriol Romeu and Juan Mata, have been placed on a new, more modest pay scale, with the recognition that the club have to make inroads into the huge wage bill, ?172m in the last annual accounts. Frank Lampard and John Terry ? who earn around ?150,000 a week ? are both on deals signed in the days when the club were more willing to pay big money to keep their biggest names. However, there is no prospect of either of those players being offered new deals at comparative rates when their current contracts expire ? Lampard's in the summer of next year and Terry's a year later in 2014. The club are still battling against a perception within the game that they will hand out the kind of lucrative contracts they once did. They have also found their supremacy in the market for academy players challenged by Manchester City. Chelsea have allowed the French winger Ga?l Kakuta to go on loan at French Ligue 1 club Dijon. He has had two loan spells in the Premier League already, first with Fulham and then with Bolton, with whom he spent the first half of the season Edited January 12, 2012 by Mona Quote
BURNDEN BILLY Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I heard from a usually very reliable source that he gets ?50k at the Reebok. Not much incentive to go during the transfer window. His negotiating stance will be far stronger with no fee at the end of the season. He still plays for England and still gets the same wages, so he dips out on a few champions league games.........Hope they up his wages offer, we need the money for team strengthening for the run in.

jazza Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Coyle reported as saying that a deal is no closer to be finalised on skysports.com It's going to be another last minute job giving us no time to get a decent replacement in Quote

Mona Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 To me it seems extremely strange, that if he isn't on ?50,000 a week at BWFC, and Chelski are offering him that, plus win bonuses (I assume), and he is not willing to accept that, is there another agenda? Are they not guaranteeing him 1st team football? Does he really want to go to Chelski ? Is his agent pulling the strings ? Does he &/or his agent expect another club (MUFC OR LFC) to gazzump CFC at last minute? Why did he (reportedly) have a meeting with Coyle & Gartside yesterday? Is he back tracking? all very odd IMO Quote
burnden Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Coyle reported as saying that a deal is no closer to be finalised on skysports.com It's going to be another last minute job giving us no time to get a decent replacement in/ spend any of the transfer fee the cynic in me says that's the plan Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 well i hope if no deal is done by the weekend he plays against the scum I'd up the anti- either sign by the weekend or don't bother. It's doing no-one any good. Let others know we might take a slightly smaller offer. It's dragging on and could seriously fook us up if he goes at the death with no time or replacements available. Quote
Didledee Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I just wish they'd get on with it, why does it take so long? Cahill's rather being greedy or Chelsea are being stingy and Abramovich doesn't want to give him what he wants. I don't want to repeatedly hear Bolton are selling players, I want to hear about Bolton bringing players in, it's inevitable that's he's going, so just get on with it, the longer it goes on, I can see a positive, as Cahill will play more games for us, but if we need the money to bring players in, then it's best to do it asap for obvious reasons. Chelsea ain't the best team in the Premiership anymore, but still it's a much bigger club than most and you get to play alongside your England centre back partner and further claim your place at Euro 2012. I'd rather he stayed, not sure what 7 Million will really do, but it's better than 0 in the summer, when our defence is poor even with Cahill in the side anyway, so selling is the best option and it's already the 12th Jan 2012, Cahill as been leaving this club for longer than just the transfer window, it wouldn't surprise me if he eventually moves on in 2016 or summat :/ Edited January 12, 2012 by Didledee Quote
