Zappacosta’s departure from Chelsea has hit a snag

These fucking Italian teams, grrrr

They demand insane money when selling, and play constant price raise games, then try to force bargain basement rip-off prices when it is their turn to buy. 

£15.8m for a 26yo decent RB (and Italian too!) is hardly an unrealistic ask by us. We paid £22.5 m for him, so we are taking a 30% loss at that price. If we take that average of loss (from the offers) on all the players we received summer of offers for, that's around £200m in LESS revenue from those sales. It could be far more if we get really fucked on Eden.

Zappacosta would start at around 10 or so EPL teams, he is hardly chopped liver.

Maybe there's some Italian blood in the Penny Pinching Granny?

Why would we even consider selling him for a loss? He has ages left on his contract and is a decent back up. Does not make any sense unless a sizeable bid comes  in.

Should have played yesterday. Even our board is not that stupid to let him go without replacement. Right?

Yep but at least we can try some players in that position like we did yesterday with Ampadu and Kova. Who can we play on RB in our squad? Even Moses is out...

We are going to stunt his career playing him willy-nilly all over the pitch, especially this Jorginho deputy shite.

hahaha You picked up on my Swiss Army knife comparison. Its right tho eh!

I assume he's not happy to stay here for 6 more months.  But I do hope Sarri will use him in some games especially in EL. It's crazy for Azpi to play 60+ games this season.

We have Davide Zappacosta with a fever

Couldn't believe he was playing the other night!

Chelsea international wants to leave this week, Lampard reluctant to sell

https://ninetyminutesonline.com/chelsea-international-wants-to-leave-this-week-lampard-reluctant-to-sell/

Chelsea wideman Davide Zappacosta is keen to leave the club and return to Italy before the summer transfer window closes on Thursday, according to The Sun.

The Italy international full-back has struggled to make a consistent impact at Stamford Bridge since signing from Torino, with a lack of regular first-team football at the Blues.

With Cesar Azpilicueta the first-choice right-back at Chelsea and an important man for the Stamford Bridge outfit, Zappacosta has been resigned to appearances from the bench and in cup games.

The report suggests that the Italian wants to return to Serie A and has his eye on completing a deal to move back to his homeland this week.

From Chelsea’s perspective, youngster Reece James is seemingly set to have his breakthrough season and provide competition for places in the Blues first-team squad.

However, the report suggests that Lampard is reluctant to allow Zappacosta to leave given that the youngster is recovering from injury and the Italian being sold would leave the club short at right-back.

Respect. At least guy wants to play somewhere. It's not like Drinkwater who should be ashamed of himself.

Honestly I dont think we should wait to that late because inevitably, wait and see a deal for him will collapse or something or a club will try and get him dirt cheap and it will be rejected. I get being short but again, if it comes to the end of the window and hes still here, like Bakayoko and maybe Kenedy, chances are it will be another guy we will have sitting about costing the club money when he clearly isnt in Franks plans, where as Reece James obviously is one player he sees as a part of his squad. I do hope we manage to bin at least 2 of Bakayoko, Kenedy and Zappcosta.
