Funny you should say that, just as I finish up the Burnley thread...a MONTH in advance :coffee:

Now I can start preliminarily on the Leicester and Everton ones.

Say, what have you done for the section lately, fitty? scratch

Good luck to him.

Fantastic

by Shed Thu Jul 31, 2014 12:00 am

I'm delighted too.

by Kick Thu Jul 31, 2014 12:01 am

It works well so I honestly think Fifa should make it mandatory.

Jason Cundy on Matchnight Live this evening declared it a fatal blow to and thus the extinction of the quick free-kick Laughing

Bit melodramatic, methinks.

by Kick Thu Jul 31, 2014 12:20 am

Quick free-kicks can still happen.

This only removes the idiotic advancement of the wall.

by Shed Thu Jul 31, 2014 12:22 am

Quick free-kicks almost always are taken in places on the pitch a wall doesn't need to be set up for anyway. Won't affect it at all.

by Kick Thu Jul 31, 2014 12:28 am

Exactly.

by Shed Thu Jul 31, 2014 12:38 am

He also, ludicrously, claimed that while he'd be okay with the line for the wall, he opposes the line around the ball because a bit of it could theoretically get on the ball as it's kicked and potentially 'get in the keeper's eye'.

And no, I'm not kidding...

Was a bit quacky tonight, needless to say.

Matej Delač agrees two-year extension at Chelsea despite work permit issue:
Matej Delač confirms he has agreed to extend his Chelsea contract for another two years
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/494093/CONFIRMED-Matej-Delac-agrees-two-year-extension-at-Chelsea-despite-work-permit-issue

"My contract expired but I signed on for two more years."

"I will not stay at Chelsea because I cannot get a work permit, so I will spend another year on loan."

"But I don't know yet where I will go. There are several options. In one week’s time it will all be sorted out."

"For now I am just happy that I can be with the Chelsea first team."

The club must rate him. No other reason to keep him on these loans all these years and now extend his contract rather than just get rid of him if he were regarded as just any other youth player.

by Kick Fri Aug 01, 2014 6:46 am

Well, honestly, I think we're doing it for his benefit, not ours.

With a club like Chelsea, he can get loan after loan, potentially improving and getting to bigger clubs, if we sold him, he could end up at some small club, restricting improvement and potential moves.

If that makes sense.

by Shed Fri Aug 01, 2014 6:49 am

And why would Chelsea really care? They certainly haven't about innumerable other young players they didn't rate and summarily got shot of without a second thought. If that were the case with Delac, why would he be any different?

by Kick Fri Aug 01, 2014 8:14 am

Because we're run by humans Laughing

Do you think we're so heartless that we'd just discard him because he cannot get a work permit?
