February 1, 20232 yr Feel really bad for the guy, I hope they can find a way to let him make the move.
February 1, 20232 yr There's a meeting now to see if it can be salvaged. Apparently the French league computer system crashed last night too which could be a get out of Chelsea free card for HZ.

I bear him no malice, and I can't see why anybody else would either.

February 1, 20232 yr As I have said elsewhere, if this is genuinely as a result of our administrative incompetence then we owe it to him to cancel his contract and let him go on a free.

It’s a stinker and I feel for him, but no way should we cancel his contract. short-term he might even find himself back in the team!

As unfortunate and as incompetent as the situation was, we also can't just terminate his contract either. We're going to need all the sellable assets we can, so even if we only get £10m for him in the summer it's a much better than letting him walk now for nothing. There's still room for him to play imo. He'd be well ahead of Pulisic on the totem pole once he's fit again.
February 2, 20232 yr Even if we cancelled his contract he still couldn't sign for any team in a league where the window has already shut (eg PSG). You have to be a free agent before the window shuts in order sign for another team, otherwise you would see players moving throughout the season. Cancelling the contract would just mean he couldn't play here either, not get paid etc

February 2, 20232 yr I see that the Ziyech paperwork issues are the big story of deadline day. Not the signings that were made. 'Deadline Disaster' is today's backpage headline in the Express.

Fish and chips is too good for them.
