He said he would support Tuchel. I think everyone knew that he has zero experience with transfers. He is over paying to get in the team that Tuchel wants. What would have been a huge disaster is if he had another manager in mind and didn't fancy Tuchel. The window is getting to the last days and every window it comes down to who is going to blink first on price, it is what it is. The staggering part is the prices everyone are paying. 100m Euro for Antony, really? I think we will get Fofana and Auba, not sure about Gordon, and that really will not bother me. When you look at the prices everyone is paying, we are pretty much doing the same. The days of top talent at 40m Euro are absolutely gone.

Haha! If we don't give away Ziyech back to Ajax, it stalls ManU deal for Antony.

The groups seem pretty balanced this year. Liverpool has what looks like an easy group with Ajax selling half their starters.

It is a spanish source. I doubt Boehly has anything to do with it. They are rumors.... also known as "journos" taking a wild guess.

In our offense, a striker can walk up the field!

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.
