It would put too much pressure on Fofana. When slab head went to ManU, he was full of potential and already very good. His recording breaking price was always brought up. It is not a good pressure.

To go back the Henrique’s post that lacks any knowledge of Chelsea’s owner, Todd Boehly. Boehly bought the LA Sparks which is a terrible investment in of itself, but he knew that a LA based WNBA team had secondary value in media rights to the LA area, and he has done very well with his eight year ownership. Yes, this billionaire is a sports fanatic, he wants in on any iconic sports team he can, and will find a way to make it profitable while spending outrageous money to make the team stay at the top. As to Henrique’s quip that the American owner has probably never watch a “soccer” game before Chelsea…. Really such a wiff! After finishing his four year degree in Virginia Boehly attended London School of Economics and the worked in London for Citi Bank. While doing both his friends described Boehly as football obsessed. It is the major reason he attempted to buy Chelsea in 2019 and attempted to buy the Spurs. He has always wanted to own a London football team because he is an obsessed fan of football. All the Chelsea coaches and staff say the same thing he is passionate about it. So yes Henrique, that American owner has watched a game of “soccer”.

I swear if I see Auba on the wing and Sterling in the center, I will fucking snap!

You can keep clowning with your old American cliche, or get of your ass and look up his involvement so you don’t look foolish.

That shit looks too real

Ajax United just plunked down €100m for Antony😳

You are very wrong about Boehly and football. You can look up his history with the Sparks and he wanted to buy Chelsea in 2019.

The story is full of "might" "could" "may" it is clickbait stuff.

World’s top players are €150 - €200 now. The prices are getting staggering. €50 is just a good starter now.

The name calling ends or those people doing it will not be welcomed to continue here. Also of note is that if members are adding nothing positive to Talk Chelsea, they will not be welcomed to continue either. FFS I have spent the entire day working with 10 years olds and they are conducting themselves better than people in this thread. We are all grown and should be able to converse with each other as adults. I can only hope much of this has to do with the shaky start to the season.

It is amazing we are not on this list.

By the weekend I think Fofana will be sorted out if it is going to happen. Leicester will need to buy a player or players before the window closes.

These links are getting more attention. It is true that Chelsea have asked about Rafael Leão. There are conversations between the parties, as @DuncanCastles has advanced. But there is NO official offer, sign. Milan refers to the clause: €150M. That font is nasty. I had to manually run it through an online translator.

Poor Jamie, love to see it.

No slab head, no Penaldo.

I very much question TT offensive scheme. I can look at the fact that Boehly has confidence with him, so I just don't see the need to get irritated by the situation. I thought a lot more of Tuchel a year ago than I currently do, but i could also be in the moment of us not doing particularly well. Tuchel will either get it together or we may end up slogging through a season before he is gone. I thought I knew what was going on with Frank managing the team. When the stories came out of how he was treating players it only showed we are not aware of everything that goes on.

My sentence about Lukaku is present tense. Yes, we can get another striker without a 6m per year player blocking that. Lukaku is a different deal altogether. It sounds like you have an issue with Tuchel. Seeing how he is about to sign for another three years, that could get awkward supporting the team.
