Probably need 10 appearances or similar before we get any extra dosh but at least that's one of them.
I vaguely recall when we sold Shelvey to Liverpool that an he needed to be on the pitch for 60 mins+ in a match for it to count as an “appearance”. Not sure if I’ve misremembered that and whether it’s a standard term for appearances based payments, but that’s my recollection.
The South London Press understands that Burstow’s first top-flight appearance for Chelsea did not trigger any add-on clauses in the deal which took him to Stamford Bridge.

That’s a relief as I was certain we would have included a clause to pay Chelsea for the privilege of having allowed us to see a “Premiership star of the future”
Sometimes as supporters we are blinded by the reality of life and some of the paths these players have travelled. Life hasn’t been as comfortable for this lad as some of us that sit behind a keyboard and moan about grabbing the ritches waved at them. us sitting here do it from a passion because ultimately we wish our club to be successful and they could aid us. In reality we would all do the same.
Thought this was bumped because he was linked with AC Milan.
I sometimes wonder if scouts actually watch players.
How can you be after an experienced international with a great goalscoring record like Taremi and then when that falls through, decide that in the whole of world football, Burstow is your next best option?
2 assists on the box tonight so far. One cross field switch to Clarke who scored a brilliant goal, then a lovely turn of the defender who dragged him down for a penalty.
It’s fair to say he’s progressed way above our level in his year at Chelsea

Burstow.
Are Chelsea our feeder club or our 2nd X1 ?
Still got Charlton shirts in his bedroom
You're always welcome back at Charlton, Mason
How can you not be proud as a Charlton fan to see one of our own potentially turning out for AC Milan.
I've always admired people that adopt, even if it is their nephew.
All the best Mason.
Hopefully it inspires other youngsters going through difficult times to see that there can be a brighter future.

He has already made more appearances for Chelsea than Juan Castillo ,Jay Da Silva , Michael Hector, Todd Kane and Kasey Palmer put together.
Can't stand Chelsea but I'd love to see him shine there for them. Pretty sure he will too
