Has anyone heard of him? From what i gather he's an 18 year old who we sold him to Chelsea last season for 750,000.... ... we kept that f****ing quiet. If you add his transfer to the other comings and goings at the club over the last 2 years we must have raked more money in than we spent, so wheres it all gone  |

If you add his transfer to the other comings and goings at the club over the last 2 years we must have raked more money in than we spent, so wheres it all gone It was a deal we had no choice in. The lad was coming up to the point where you sign professional forms. Given the fact he was part of the England youth setup and very well thought of by a lot of clubs, it isn't surprising we weren't the only club who wanted to sign him on a pro contract. With Liverpool, Man utd and Chelsea all circling we took a compensation deal from Chelsea of 750k up front with a number of performance related add ons. Mellis wanted the move, even though we offered him good pro terms and pointed out the route in to our first team was a lot shorter than at Chelsea ...... and at that point there's nothing you can really do!! |
