Drinkwater to Besiktas?

Post by Hedontplayforyou » Wed Dec 18, 2019 9:32 pm

Whispers that Besiktas are going to offer Drinkwater an 18 month loan deal, is he leaving us in January, and if so who are we replacing him with?

He'll need a driver for, at least, part of the journey.

Guess there'll be no shortage of volunteers.

Clearly not impressing Dyche in training given his complete lack of game time apart from the City game

Not for the money they cost!
Anyway, they'll just fart in your face and fly out the window first chance they get.
Or so I've been told. ;)

I'm led to believe we are paying half his wages (reportedly he gets £100k per week) for a loan until Jan 6th.

My Turkish barber has a mate who owns a kebab shop near Istanbul and has shares in a box at Besiktas and he says he hasn't heard anything.
Joe Allen probably.

He appeared unfit and disinterested iin his time when he actually played
This was a chance to rebuild his career, which is in freefall ,that he failed to take
This is the latest in a line of Chelsea flops that includes Chalobah and Bamford.A gamble that could have paid off but didnt

On top of this issue with DD we still have to see whether Hendrick will sign a new contract this summer. Do we also let him go in Jan if a suitable offer comes along. My brother in law is a Sheff Utd fan and says they are thought to be interested in Jeff

An extremely expensive gamble if we've been paying him 50 grand a week.

I think if Hendrick was going to sign he'd have done it by now.

This’ll give them a midfield of DD and Ozil. Will they ever get the ball back?

Lloyd Dyer.....remember his cameos at the back end of our Championship title-winning season, particularly the one at St Andrews when he really helped us see out the 2-1.

I love the selected memories of some fans.
It’s the same ones who mention signing Vydra, Walters Wells as the sum total of Dyche’s transfer dealings

Not really, but the question was to name 1 loan that has paid off. You seem to be shifting the goalposts.

Go back a bit further as he was a Cotterill signing on loan in second half of 06/07 season

My point was ,I don't understand why fans get carried away with transfer window as nothing positive ever happens under dyche that gets you excited as a fan ,I see on twitter that dyche as already played down this transfer window saying how tough it is
