Many Chelsea fans thought it was a pretty decent squad signing. However, Dewsbury-Hall soon became the butt of all jokes amongst the Chelsea fan base, and most of them wanted him sold. I was in the minority, I always rated him and would have happily kept him around the squad. But ultimately, he also wanted to go and be an important player elsewhere, which is what he has become at Everton. So fair play to him for that, he’s doing very well.

In quotes picked up on X this week, Sutton said:

“Dewsbury-Hall, I wonder what Chelsea fans make of that. I know Cole Palmer is there but I wonder what they’re thinking. His form, his ability in the final third to pick a pass.”

I also wonder what Chelsea fans will be thinking on this. I’m pretty sure that they will still feel that selling him was the right call at the time.

In other news…

An article from Matt Law of The Telegraph yesterday explains just why Chelsea are backing Liam Rosenior to succeed despite his early struggles – it’s clear that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

As well as that, there’s been more confirmation that Chelsea tried to sign a young defender back in the January transfer window.
