Ambrose has stated publicly there is no release clause. I wonder if this is a case of a journalist getting wind of the old clause and making a story up. As it stands Chelsea have Madueke and Ziyech who are right wingers, have just signed a Brazilian wonderkid who is a right winger (Angelo) and Nkunko can also play there. Even in their crazy spending haze are they really going to blow another load on another winger who isn't even fit?

Ambrose, also said ,he see,s Olise, as a £100mill player in the making, that’s as maybe , a lot might agree , some wouldn’t. He might be stretching it but investing £35 mill now would be very good business and if it was possible they would be queuing down Whitehorse Lane.

That's very true.

I would also add however football can be very 'flavour of the month/form' driven and Conor certainly is not atm. I suppose it is supply & demand. If a team identifies Conor as very much a filler for the exact role he played for us he may well command a higher fee. If not, I suspect Chelsea will struggle to get the touted amount for him or offload him at all.

We were in that position, where we needed him for exactly the role we employed him in and suited him best, and therefore may have been more easily coerced into parting with a higher fee. We no longer need him that desperately however another team may.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

We're getting Ambrose back? Decent shot on him.

Caughtoffside is full of crap clickbait.

If I was 'a club' and someone closely connected with me gave details of my employees' contracts of employment to the media, then that close connection would henceforth be terminated.
