Gary Cahill Deal Agreed - Report

Paying Cahill more per week than Mata, Sturridge, Ramires, Luiz or Brana? ?I make it closer to 90,000 per week and were I in Mata’s boots I’d be VERY upset considering my ability is seemingly worth far less than a mediocre CB who hasn’t even managed to look the best of a frankly dire Bolton defence. I don’t think Mata or Danny would even be being greedy if they immediately slapped in a transfert request and were I their agents I’d be fuelling the fires even as myself and a lifelong Chelsea fan. In which world is Cahill and his questionable ability a better bet than all those players?

We supposedly held out because we want to curb wages, yeah? Then why risk it by keeping Mata and Ramires reasonable and wreck it by paying way over the odds for a player with nothing even approaching the talent of most players at the club that he’s earning a lot more than? It makes Gourlay and Roman look like desperate fools over Cahill and doesn’t offer anything going forwards by comparison whatsoever-Cahill’s been awful this season and this news SHOULD wind up those playters more talented but undewr paid compared to GC and since they had to negotiate with FFP why didn’t it have a bearing on ~Cahill’s wages?

We look stupid and we deserve to be hauled over the coals by the better players earning less than Cahill-seriously, it’s not the same as p[aying 15million and 50,000 per week because people will already have accepted lower wages than they expected from Chelsea in this drive while Cahill got what he wanted. It’s a joke and the rider being how poor the actual player is and how comp-letely lost he’s been this season even by his own low standards. Had luiz been playing like Cahill this season I assure you he’s have been killed by now. He’s been sloppy buty not close to ~Cahill’s calamitous season, nowhere near at all and those knocking Sidesahow will soon pray for him back when this “cheap” signing costs us a bomb by making sure we go out of the CL and miss out on foiurth spot.

I was gutted with some previous signings but this is the worst, if they pay GC anything over 50,000 per wk , that I can ever recall in terms of it’s possible knock on effects. To me it comes down, simply, to how bad GC’s been this season and, also, the risk that we’re overpaying him. now what would we have to pay Hazard or an actual footballer should we try for them? Won’t be long, either, before these silly wages make sure we have a lot ofg drssing room unrest. ?How would you feel as Mata on 65,000 when GC gets 90.000 and the club had told you they had to curb contracts when sorting yours out? the bottom line is poisonous and they should have managed to keep any extra very quietly in a signing bonus that nobody EVER heard about. Footballers are all abouty cash, like it or not, and IO fear Cahaill getting so much too much could murder us.

Ignore the tabloid figure. They just make them up. Read the telegraph tomorrow. They have a great track record and seem to have a reliable source at Chelsea. The independent were saying the real figures were between 50 and 80 a few days ago. My firm belief is its under 60,000. Wait and see.

would gladly pay this much in wages to him

Then again, you can’t have two world-class players in every position.

and eating some spicy thai food. I’m in a decent mood, enough to accept that this may have gone through with higher wages than I had thought would be smart (not confirmed, I know).

That said, I’ll not only hope for the best for Cahill while in a blue jersey, I will hope for the best FROM Cahill. If he is making higher wages than our top performer (Mata, as far as I am concerned), then he better play to earn his keep. We can’t afford many more mistakes in his position at the moment, so as unfair as it probably is, my expectations are a bit higher for his performance. But then, I always was on the side that believes keeping a clean sheet means that at least you didn’t lose (how very Serie A of me- funny).
