Glad Mourinho's taken his embarrassingly shit football elsewhere.
What a player we had in our hands with KdB.
Another 0-5 incoming vs Pep?

Have a hard time believing this. Seems like a play to show Roma that we have other targets and that they should consider the next Naingolan offer, which I have no doubt will be coming soon.
There's simply no way that we'd bid 32 for Gomes and not pay the exact same amount that Roma supposedly want for Conte's "primary target".

Are we sure there is this 20m clause to begin with?
If so, why isn't just about everyone after him?

Di Maria example is overused and pretty much misleading.
Real really wanted to get rid, PSG couldn't spend and United were the only ones ready to pay the transfer fee. On top of that we're not United.Also, look who his agent is.

After Roma's just bought him for 9m euros? I truly doubt that.
Regardless... We need better quality. He isn't even better than Cahill IMO.
Sadly it's not going to be a surprise if we do this. It just feels like something we would do right now.

Good, I hope he stays there.
What happened to the thing about posting links from tribalfootball, goal.com etc? ITKs like the guy above should also be banned.

Lichtsteiner said yes to Conte on Sat. He could join Chelsea when Dani Alves is officially at Juve. €11m, 3 years deal. (
@EmaGiulianelli)So another 32 year old that keeps Azpi at LB.

Just done Antonio Conte's first English-language interview. Asked what the most important words are that he's learned. "I like 'To fight'"

For me it is absurd to talk of us as contenders or dark horses or whatever. Without significant improvements to the glaring holes that this team has, I doubt we're getting top 4. As good a manager as Conte is, this is his first outing outside Italy as player or manager and there will be adaptability issues in play. The guy doesn't have a magic wand.
And to be honest, the names we seem closer to right now (Lukaku, Rudiger, Cuadrado etc) are not giving me confidence.

So how much £ did we make out of that naming rights stuff?

What a shit window this is going to be.

So true Tomo, never can underestimate the impact of full-back who has a flair for attacking...
Ashley himself started out as a forward if I'm not mistaken...
I miss Ashley Cole.

Did he actually name drop Chelsea? Surely it's happening then.
Sigh.

While I agree, Lukaku is nowhere near 65 mil. quid, do people generally believe we can get any quality striker below 50-60 mil.
No, I am not Lukaku's biggest fan, quite contrary, I just don't believe any other ST would cost less. People believe Higuain or Morata would be that player, but no. De Laurentis won't let Gonzalo go for less and this is his best season, which he will never replicate. Let's be honest, if you watch Higuain you know he can be very frustrating at times. Samo goes for Morata. Top talent, who goes missing at times. Yes, he is very combinative, technical and etc. Thing is he would cost a massive sum and we don't know what he could turn in, in England. Truth be told, there is no GUARANTEED top striker out on the market, who is worth a big sum of money and is a guaranteed success.^ Of course there's no guaranteed success. What is?
The Lukaku story makes no sense on a sporting level, which is why the fee being spoken about just stands out so much more. Unless Costa is definitely, 100% off (for which there's little credible reporting that I've read), why should we settle for a similar but inferior player? And that too at a record price?
In terms of names, we should be all over Lacazette. They turned down 31m for him from West Ham. Up that to 40, hell 45 if that's what it takes, and bring him here. Because in this case the skillset justifies the money.

I really, really, really find it absurd to believe that there is somebody on that Chelsea board right now nodding his/her head thinking '65 million quid for Lukaku? Mhm, let's do this.'
Seriously hope this is BS.

It's more than his opinions sparking debates. IMO it's nice to have an old timer around, especially one who has a somewhat unique flavour. A character, I guess. Lends some variety to the place and keeps it from being an echo chamber of cookie cutter posts. I say that as someone who had a lot of run-ins with him in my earlier days.
Anyway, I'm sure the mods did what they felt was best for the forum. Just my 0.02$.

Can't be arsed. He's toxic as fuck and football has passed him by. More comedy times at Old Trafford.

No great technique, no great precision. We already have Costa for that.
Save that 65m (!!) and go for someone like Lacazette. Why the fuck are clubs like West Ham after him and not us?
