So la republica   Is a good source!  

Has the talk of "improved bid anticipated" (or something along those lines) ever come to fruition?

I think labeling the board with lack of ambition is silenced by the fact it seems we are pushing hard to get this guy for 60M

I don't think so,  if we offer 150.000 £ we will get him.  He wants reportedly to join us . So we will wait and see.

Per few sources there are big problems for Juventus in their defense. At the half time against Real Madrid Bonucci wanted from Allegri to bring Cuadrado for Barzalgi because he "played" very poor in the first half and apparently Barzalgi didn't forgot that from Bonucci. After that Dani Alves said that Dybala should leave Juve to be even better player, so now he is very close to join Man City for 5-6M€, and for Chelsea fans Alex Sandro could be on his way out and in that case Juve will try to get the best offer they can from Chelsea, he will be replaced with Guerrero from BVB.  Bonucci after those incidents is also on his way out more than ever. Juve still have Rugani, Chiellini, Barzagli and Benatia for CB spot.

The problem isn't the board bidding. The problem is can the Chelsea Fc board close a deal that is more than £35mil ??

The stones, Koulibaly and other sagas say otherwise. 

[Dimitr 488]

We can't blame the board that  they can't close a deal more than 35millions . We had offered 90m for pogba before he chooses united. We offered 70,60 millions to stones ,koylibaly ,lukaku,Alex Sandro. My opinion is, don't blame the board but the other clubs  who they don't accept these offers.

[Pizy 17,860]

Knowing our board, if we fail to sign Sandro, rather than going after the next best target we'll wait until the deadline and panic buy someone not nearly as good. 

If we can't get him we need to throw that money at Mendy, Walker, Semedo. Someone top class.

Of course we can blame our board for not being able to close the deals.

The point is we can't get some players and then other clubs just go and buy them.

The problem is we aren't a marque club. We aren't be an attractive club like a few years ago (  mourinho's era).This is the problem .  For this reason we lost Tolisso etc.

Were we actually interested in Tolisso or are people just using rumours based off 1-2 sources to criticize the club? For all we know, Tolisso's agent or Lyon could have used our name to get as much money as possible from Bayern Munich.

Nope.

Any club can bid for players, leak it to the press, then play the fiscal responsibility card to justify why the deal didn't go through. 

And if you read today's reports, Alex Sandro is being offered a new deal. So you can add Sandro to the ever growing list of players the Chelsea Board "Tried" to sign, but failed to do so.

That's not good enough. 

Being economically frugal summer after summer after summer, is not how a "supposedly" big club conducts business, especially not for a club that has sold players for the fees we have the past 2 years.

Settling for 4th/5th tier options again and again, then expecting the manager to pull a miracle with sub-par players is not a recipre for sustained success. 

So yeah, Marina doesn't know how to pull off ambitious transfers. All they do is fuck around with their bids until the selling club gets fed up, and Chelsea are left scrambling for 4th/5th player options. 

The past two summers show this undisputedly. And if Chelsea fail to sign theclikes Alex Sandro/Sanchez/J. Rodriguez/VVD/Koulibaly/ whomever else, then those players will all be added to the list.

Yes we can hardly compete with Man Utd, Real and Barca. With others like Bayern, Juve or Man City we can compete all day long.

Remember how we managed to buy Hazard when Man Utd and Man City were also competing for him? SAF was still Man Utd manager and they were far more attractive than Chelsea. But we paid more to Hazard's agent than anyone else. That's what makes you attractive club these days.
