Watching Chelsea struggle against Brighton, it amazes me that players like Callum Hudson Odoi, at 18 years of age, get paid 120k per week. A few appearances off the bench for Chelsea and he is handed a five year deal on that money. I have never seen anything other than classic Redmond-isms from him - move feet really fast approaching the area, cut back, feint to shoot, check back again, shank the shot / cross / pass. Football is totally broken; at some point soon the bubble has to burst. I for one am proud to support a team that simply doesn't have the facilities to fully embrace the absolute madness of top tier premier league wages (although that is not to say I am happy at the way we have tried to emulate it in recent times!). | |
