It puts €200M in their hands, but they need a lot of it to register players they have already purchased.

I am not buying everything that is being spun. A simple call to check on the status of the deal is reported as trying to hijack. It would need to be an actual offer and I doubt that happened.

I will move it to the loan army thread, but we still own him, sadly.

I had to save this drawing just because it triggered the big baby.

Lazio asks for 70 million and Chelsea offers Loftus-Cheek and Emerson Palmieri to lower the money for Milinkovic-Savic

I debated putting this in the transfer thread or the Boehly thread, but I think it has a lot of bearing on why so many key figures at the Club have left so quickly. Not sure the Marketing team operates in isolation from the rest of the administration. Chelsea’s owners have told us they hired an external review team amid barrage of allegations by current and former staff against head of marketing. Club also contacted family of former Chelsea TV head Richard Bignell who took his own life in January.

I think the biggest problem is Laporte manipulates the crap out of journos associated with Barca. They can be reporting exactly what is being told to them and it was BS from the source.

Sergej Savic and his agent are traveling to London today to meet with Chelsea. This tweet thread has some good information about him.

We better start finding homes for attackers.

Man Utd are poking around now.

I honestly thought I would wake up today to find we had a “Here We Go”. It sounds like we are further away from any signings.

I just hope we keep Colwill and over the course of the season he shows he is ready. I really hope Colwill, Conor, and Broja get a chance to prove their worth. Also hope Chalobah keeps developing. A major emphasis with the Dodgers is getting young players into their farm system and developing them to starting players. I hope that emphasis follows so it is players from the academy to the first team.

I think Tuchel was in favor if Kounde last window. De Ligt was not a possibility at that time. there are better articles about Marina pushing but this sums it up also.

We are buying two. I think, and hope, De Ligt goes through.

There seems to be a pattern developing that Tuchel’s input was not being taken serious. Tuchel wants De Ligt and Marina wanted to finish her deal to acquire Kounde. It seems that in every instance that there is a major difference, Boehly is backing Tuchel and showing people the door, or allowing them to leave immediately that want to challenge Tuchel’s idea of what the team should be. I hope the players are aware of this.

It these reporters have merit, it is looking like Boehly wanted to know what went wrong with spending £97m on a player that did not want to be at the club. He seems to be backing Tuchel.

Possible contact between tomorrow and the day after tomorrow between #Juventus and #Chelsea . The main course: #DeLigt . With the Blues in pressing who will try to put on the plate some technical counterparts. Evolving situation 👀🇳🇱 @GoalItalia

Bring back that handsome Giroud!!! He never should have moved away! Kind of just joking. He was always a favorite of mine.

I would love to know what was said in the meeting between Petr and Todd? Cech seemed like he was so good for the club.

Negotiation #Chelsea - #Juve for #DeLigt : Juventus ok for Werner as technical compensation, still distance on the economic balance. But the blues are convinced they can close the deal
