Totally agree we need to be gambling somewhere for something otherwise we will just decay back to the Championship. I’m not sure Ibe is where I would put my chips.
We need to probably be looking younger and cheaper. Unfortunately that is where everyone else is looking.

Re: Chelsea transfer ban lifted
I'm not sure that helps Frank Lampard.
The ban meant reduced expectation and pressure so that he could play the kids.
Now regular service has been resumed I'd not be surprised to see that change.
On a more personal note, it may give them even more reason to offload DD.

Perfect man for Bournemouth. Even with the money he had available it is unbelievable success.
Never looked comfortable at Burnley.
I will always be thankful to him. He did do his bit in transitioning from Coyle’s ageing squad to a younger setup that Sean has taken forwards so well.
