If those feckers think they are getting Costa on the cheap they are deluded. Most seem to think Costa will go on the cheap there LOL Anything below 60 mil and they can fuck off in my book. Italian teams are the most disgusting clubs I've ever seen always want to pay cheap money for players but when you want a player from that league you need to shell out 100 mil what a joke.

Let's hope Matic received an sms like this from Conte as well In all seriousness I don't think Conte made a good decision, clubs will know we want to get rid of him now and offer a smaller fee. We must get at least 60 mil for him.

I didn't know it's The Sun. In that case I'm glad it's The Sun means its bollocks

I want to give Emenalo and Marina the benefit of the doubt this time and say this is not true, because if it is, those 2 need to be sacked asap.

Hope that quote is not true, how can you not pay that money for him, it's not even that much for an already world class player wtf

This transfers windows started great...

Offering Matic and money for the wrong player ffs

He won't cost more than £70mil that much is safe to say I think. Last I've read PSG we're almost sure to sign him for £60mil or so, while United aren't even linked to him. Ok, I saw United getting linked to him today, but it's mirror and it's most likely bs. Di Marzio said they want a striker between Morata, Belloti and Lukaku in that order.

Aubameyang = better and cheaper.

We must pursue him at all cost, I like Alonso but this guy is a totally different beast. With City cooling off we should pounce on this. 40 mil is a lot but if you look at his skill set, age, it will be a bargain in the next 6-7 years.

Sorry for asking but is this guy reliable? Hope we get Tolisso, nice to see some good news after that Lukaku thing.

Anything over 40 mil for him and we got robbed massively. I'm starting to form a grudge for all those Chelsea fans who want him back. Wake up he doesn't give a fuck about us nor his so called love for the club, this guy left the minute he had fight with Torres for a place LOL There is no way in hell Conte wants him, he is limited as feck, Emenalo must be the one pushing for this deal.

Mate he is worse than Costa, the only difference between them is one can make a difference if he is in form and the other is plain shit against big clubs. Lukaku is a product of inflating his tally, scoring as many as possible against shit teams while doing nothing against the better ones. I'll have a meltdown if he comes here to be honest, but maybe that's just me. I swear I don't know understand how any Chelsea fan would want him here. This guy couldn't even fight for his place at THE CLUB HE CLAIMS HE LOVES and now wants back to play CL. Hope he doesn't touch an inch of our locker room.

Please let it be United

Please Costa stay don't let this guy come here.

Depressing if James go to United, I have a feeling he will have the same impact as Sanchez. At some point it looked like we we're primed to get him bit but now it seems our interest has cooled off..

Maybe I am exaggerating, I'm only a football and Chelsea enthusiast what exactly do I know but watching a club like Liverpool having no problem signing a player from Southampton and immediately giving him 200k hurts, especially since I rate VVD very highly. Liverpool are quite a long shot below us in revenue but I was reading somewhere they are leading the wages in the league.

Some of the Liverpool fans apparently don't want Salah because he was a Chelsea "reject" After some of us used to think the same with Barca/Real, feels good for once so see others have the same ideology as us

So he becomes Liverpool highest paid player, which means they'd have to restructure (like you point out) yet if Chelsea offered that he would be on par with ANOTHER player. Yeah makes sense.. Also instead of telling someone to mind his own business about something since I apparently don't know shit, you'd better learn to accept to disagree. As far as I'm concerned the wage restructure is blindly overrated by some of you , since a club like Liverpool have no problem making a CB their highest paid player. Also I think Coutinho earns as much as him or close.

Lol, of course he choose Liverpool since they offered him 200k a week. Fact is they have less revenue, less money won in the league, less money from players sold, yet somehow have no problem paying a CB 200k a week. Meanwhile, we complain we have not enough money to compete with the Manchester clubs, amazing how Liverpool can.

Even Liverpool are outspending us now. Pathetic board, if this happens to be true and Liverpool pay 60 mil for him.

If we feck up this year AGAIN something which a pessimist like me believes will happen, I'd love to see Alves as Chelsea for 1-2 years. Imagine him playing instead of Moses against United or Tottenham, would immediately improve us a lot on that flank. Against the lesser teams we can continue to play Moses and start Alves only when needed against strong teams. Still hope we get Semedo for this position thought.

Shit source but I hope this is true. Despite what people think about him, I believe he is a top player who hasn't got his chance yet to prove his worth. I'd be gutted if he went to United. I heard strong rumours, Mourinho is very keen on him.

Dream signing but will never happen. Emenalo could've taken him for peanuts before he went at Juventus but decided to get Baba who from my memories when he was here was atrocious.

Who are you kidding, we aren't even close to Madrid's level... We might dominate the PL but we will always be just a dark horse in CL until we start spending big again. At Real he can play with Marcelo, Ronaldo and Modric meanwhile he is here playing with Moses, Matic and Willian... I don't find that very appealing.
