Official Gary Cahill transfer thread

it smells of an 11th hour redknapp snatch n grab! here's hoping everything falls through

Maybe the strange bit is that he's asked for a couple of Greenhaulghs meat pies and the Chelsea board are stumped?

Are Greenhalghs famous for pies and forged artwork.. ?

[officer_dibble]

Chance he could play saturday?

Much ado about nothing although it is obvious from the piece, just in case there was any doubt, that Nixon does actually have coyles ear.

Cahill puzzlingly spoke to Bolton boss Owen Coyle and chairman Phil Gartside on Wednesday, despite being cleared to head to London to seal the transfer.

This, Chelsea possibly walking away, while high risk for us, is the only possible way we could get a bit of an auction going...if United and City have a dabble

good point - well made!!

[bobo the clown]

.... & if we don't sell him and Cahill stays till June & we lose £7m or so but keep a standard of defender we're unlikely to get in his stead then it may well pay for itself in league position money and even in staying in this league.

I'm feeling "glass half-full" today.

VERY high risk for us, surely after the Elmander saga Owen and Phil just want the deal sorted one way or another? I know the circumstances are different but the underlying principle is similar.

I hope to God he didn't ask for Meat & Potato !!

He'll still be in there arguing with the sour faced, bee-chewing bugger behind the counter.

I'm sensing repressed anger at the fine purveyors of all things pastry-lidded bobo. Have I got the wrong end of the stick (schtick)?

For feck's sake Gary, get gone would you.

[Armchair Wanderer]

For feck's sake Gary, get gone would you.

He was talking a while ago about waiting til the summer, maybe he wasn't joking.

If he doesn't want to go to Chelsea (where's Elvis Costello?) he might not want to go to City or Liverpool either. He may even do a Charlie Adam and just do a nod and a wink with the one he wants to go to.

S'all right, he can go to Spurs for £7million in the summer. Isn't a free transfer, they signed him in January but their fax was broken.

[irie Cee Bee]

Unbelievable. Now what do we do while Gary hope for a call from Sir Alex ? Seems clear to me that Chelsea is not his preferred destination. or else he would have signed a long time ago. Is it too late to send back Ream and his wife ? How will we pay the transfer fee and additional wages ?

Come on Gary, sign up! We need the Dough !

50,000 for sitting on the bench is a great salary. I guess that the problem is more about being garanteed a first team spot than about the salary?? Why would any player chose a possible bench position rather than a guaranted starting position?? Cahill surely needs that to keep his England place.

If he's not happy with Chelsea, and I wouldn't be in his position, then all he has to do is wait until the summer and leave to a Club of his own choice then. May not be good business for Bolton, unless he helps us stay up, but it could be for Cahill.

[thebish]

he could sign a new contract with us for £50,000 a week I imagine... and get first team football (if he can displace Ream!)

[Abs]

Its clear only Chelsea is seriously interested in spending money on him right now. But with him being free agent in 6 months, Im sure alot of teams are promising him big money if he waits until the summer where he will get big signing fee and higher wages. If Cahill wanted to sign for Chelsea, he would have done it by now. I hope for Boltons sake he doesnt get selfish and make sure he either accept the move, or extend his contract and install a decent buy out clause so the club gets a bit of money. Sadly i think his agent will make sure he waits to the summer and get as much money as possible

I suspect its not about money...

He will be more worried about the summer and his England career, and also his missus had a baby a few months back, perhaps a move to London is difficult for personal reasons.

Either way I hope he does go, because we need the money to give ourselves a chance.
