Sure, didnt mean to offend. I'm just honestly wondering about all those different Marotta quotes that seem to appear every day...

Is this a new quote or just a different translation ? Is this guy giving interviews every day ?

They're just putting sth out there, that's a very likely possibility anyways. They didnt even get the numbers right, our bid was 70m€ and not £70m

BILD and Sky Germany already said he's going nowhere. Lets forget about this one quickly

do you have a link ?

i stopped reading at that point

so i guess now we'll see if this whole thing was a ploy to get a better contract

yeah, thats the question. they did already sign tielemans as well though...

Apparently Higuain posted a goodbye message to him and then quickly deleted it again. Hope we're still in for him

Havent heard any rumblings about this deal for a little while now - you are guys think its already done and they're waiting for something ?

I simply can't allow myself to get excited about this. He's in the top 3 in the world in his position, would be a massive signing. Seems impossible, but those marotta comments...

Even though he isnt a creative force himself, i wouldn't underestimate what having someone who can go past 1 or 2 players in middle can bring to the game. An unexpected turn or dribble like that can create huge spaces for our creative players at times.

£30m for a GK would be a lot of money, if they didnt expect big funds coming in

is there a new report ?

yeah, i think he's just not allowed to play for them until the ban lifts

yeah thought more about atleti loaning him out, because of the ban

seems like atleti and a loan are our only hope

how would that ruin our plans, we want to get rid of him.

Everybody seems to have this opinion. Curious which of matic' traits you guys feel we'd be missing in that scenario? I feel after we played nearly the whole season with matic-kanté, that antonio would definitely see bakayoko-kanté as an option ?

doesnt really matter if what actually happened got blown out of proportion. at this point its clear to everyone that diego and the club have to part ways, and thats the real problem...

This is getting maddening. I hope he's off quick and this thing doesnt become a dark cloud over our complete window.

Despite highlight videos obviously not being a firm basis to judge a player on, i think this vid shows that rom has at least some intelligence in the game that i didnt think he had. And that i've rarely seen from diego for that matter.

Commitment is number one for antonio. The fact that diego made this public is yet another proof that antonio can't count on him in that regard. Getting lukaku instead, whose commitment to chelsea would probably be his biggest plus seems like a logical move.

So are we supposed to rotate diego and lukaku, or how would this work. Cant really see them playing together
