“It’s easy to say Chelsea got it wrong with Rice and Nketiah. Both, after all, are now full England internationals following Nketiah’s debut last week against Australia. But it’s also possible that fateful day when they were shown the door at Cobham actually proved a springboard in each case. It may have forged in them the indefatigable spirit that has spurred them on to their current success.

For Nketiah and Rice, a day that could have broken them may instead have been the making of them.” - James McNicholas

    I think he was probably worth about half what he went for in today’s inflated market.

    Still if you honestly think he’s only worth 5 million can I ask what you think Havertz was worth after his three years at Chelsea?

      I still wouldnt pay more than 15 for Mudy.

      Havertz was a failure at chelsea. Im upset we went for him. Hope we get a player out of him.

      He would have been worth 25m imho. He did have CL experience, came from Bundli and has played in Prem. Young, not injury prone, tall and a bit athletic. German NT player too.
