If the reports are correct it is £50M and £15M performance bonus. Personally, I love performance bonuses.

That makes sense.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean from Ben, but some of the comments from Chelsea "fans" are what I really don't care about Twitter.

I hear you, but I also hear the voice in my head saying someone was paid buckets of money to bring in Drinkwater. Totally NOT comparing DD to Chilwell.

Considering his age and the English tax, that is not terrible.

I am so damn hungry for transfer news, even though I like other LB options, this is at least scratching an itch.

Once they start lighting up twitter, some part of it is real.

Wrap this transfer up today already!

I have no idea what teletext is and I'm 55 years old.

Get you sum Willian!

I have read some of the good journalists say teams get their highest price deals done first. As tight lipped as Chelsea is about transfers, I doubt anyone really knows what their overall strategy is?

Carefree Youth is saying one of our players completed a physical in Portugal and contract will be announced. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

"Journalists" with no stories to write.

I have a feeling it will be Zouma

He played CB a few times last year and looked good at it. They have definitely been training him in the position. It also provides flexibility to change the defensive shape without substituting players in.

I think if we get Kai, we have enough attacking to rest all of them through rotation. Pulisic's game works with him going all out. Pushing your body that much all the time will cause injuries. Part of his maturing process is knowing when to push and when to recover. Kai, Werner, Pulisic, Tammy, Mount, and James....it is mind blowing how long they could play together if they all stay.

If this was announced tomorrow, it would be spectacular for us. An added bonus of throwing ManU fans into a tizzy.

Sadly once some people there assumed negotiations were finished there were a lot of comments like the following tweet. If ManU sends the €120, they will still buy him. Better options you say?

I was asking your opinion as you seem to be familiar with the forum.

I like when some of them refer to us as renters. That Chelsea doesn't develop talent, we just rent it for the prime years and then send them on their way. Ummm doesn't all pro teams do that?

Buy Kai and let's move on. Unrelated....reading RedCafe has been fun today
