Man. I know this is the same summer where 34 year old Lewa just went for 50m, but just the thought of giving Barca 30m for 33 year old Auba is nuts.

Difference here is that Leicester desperately need the cash AND the player has expressed desire to leave. Wet Spam have this deluded ambition to break into the top 6 and throw lots of money around to try to realize that ambition. At least we have a chance at signing Fofana whereas Rice is never going to happen until the final year of his contract.

The media have needled us for a supposed “scattergun” approach to transfers. But United is a whole new level of complete amateurish incompetence. They’re literally just throwing silly money around at 10 targets a week basically begging someone to join them. João Felix would be a terrible fit at United. And for that kind of money he isn’t nearly worth it anyways.

Think I should just accept the fact that Tuchel really wants Auba and I just have to trust his judgment. Because every red flag is evident with this deal in my eyes. If he was coming in on a free like Barca got him I’d be all for it as a punt. But to have to pay 25m after they signed him for free because he was such a dressing room cancer near the end at Arse seems like such silly business on our part. Whilst he’s a MUCH better finisher and natural striker than Kai, will he press relentlessly and run all day like Havertz did against Spuds? Or will we have the Auba from his latter days at Arse when he just kind of drifted and wasted away out wide not doing much?

We want Fofana so badly and yet we’re going to allow this to run on for yet another week where he’ll play another game in which he could get injured? I realize this is a huge financial deal with a difficult “opponent” to negotiate with, but come on. We need to have our back line settled ASAP.

We’ll probably have to send him out on loan again right at the deadline. Also, wtf is going on with Alonso’s move? We’ve been hearing it’s done for like 2 weeks.

Every former player, pundit, most of Chelsea’s fan base, and everyone on different Chelsea forums I read have said he’s been very good. But I guess since Clockwork says he’s been bad it must be true. 🙄

Sterling has been very good in these first two matches. Anyone saying otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Washed up Ronaldo will still score 15 goals for us by simply standing in the box. Pulisic and Ziyech have been useless for ages. Don’t see them making any sort of difference for United so I’m not bothered.

We should be offering either Pulisic or Ziyech to them in exchange for allowing CR7 to come the other way. Before we do something stupid like offering Auba a 3 year contract as was rumored yesterday.

Brighton, Leicester, Everton. We love trying to deal with the most stubborn PL clubs, huh. But that’s what happens when you target the best players at smaller clubs.

Yeah, the more I watch of Gordon the more I like the look of him. The price is just outrageously inflated and I can’t get over it. He looks like the exact sort of player Klopp & Liverpool would target. Relentless, ridiculous energy, excellent on the ball, beats players in space with ease, and works super hard for the team. The difference is Liverpool would sign this type of player for like £15m from some Championship side or form Scotland or something whereas we’re bidding £45m or more. I’d rather see Gordon running himself into the ground and wreaking havoc with his pace than lazy ass CHO who doesn’t even attempt to do those things anymore.

At the time he signed he was still recovering from that catastrophic injury. That was a potential career threatening leg break so if you’re offered a new contract when your career is in question I don’t blame him for signing. This isn’t a Declan Rice or Harry Kane situation where they idiotically signed 6 year deals when they were fit and getting better and better. Plus, there’s no way he expected a huge club like Chelsea to be after him so strongly when he signed.

My guess is cash plus a player Rodgers can use will get it done. The rumors about our side not wanting that “world’s most expensive defender” tag on Fofana’s head I actually think is true. Having that pressure on you as a 21 year old (and especially in a position like CB where mistakes can have catastrophic consequences) could prove very detrimental. I just want to get him in ASAP. As impressive as RLC was against Spuds and as good as Reece looked at RCB, I don’t want to see that anymore. I want Reece bombing up and down the flank and a proper beast of a natural RCB behind him. Really hope we push this through before Leeds.

More and more reports everyday that CR7 is still desperate to leave United. Tbh, I’d have him for one year without hesitation over giving Auba a 3 year deal or whatever he’d get. We don’t want to saddle ourselves to a 34 year old striker who has had character issues before on huge wages. If Auba bombs this season we wouldn’t be able to get rid of him. CR7 could come in, get us 12-15 PL goals, a handful of important CL goals which he’s desperate to score, and then retire to LA Galaxy next summer.

£45m bid for Gordon. 😳😳😳 What’s more insane, us bidding that amount or Everton rejecting it?

Casadei feels like a pure punt. Has to have been recommended by someone who has extensively scouted him from our youth setup becasue that’s the only plausible explanation. We’re just taking a chance for €15m that he becomes something. But as I said last night I don’t see it from what I’ve watched. When YouTube highlights can make anyone look amazing, this kid’s highlights don’t look impressive at all. And that’s at youth level where you’d expect a “wonderkid” to dominate. Comparing his footage to the lad Carney that we’ve just signed and they look like completely different levels. Feels like a player we won’t see in a first team Chelsea shirt for years, if ever.

So are we sending Cassadei on loan straight away back to Italy? Development squad? I just don’t get it otherwise.

To be honest, this Casadei kid were apparently crazy about getting doesn’t look like anything special at all from what I’m watching. Doesn’t look like some wonderkid or future superstar. Not even remotely as impressive as the other young midfielder we just signed.

Zaha has had like 5 golden opportunities to score literally inside the Liverpool box and a dreadful first touch ruins it every time.

Much as I hate Liverpool, I hope they smash United next weekend just to send the United fans into further meltdown.

Haven’t heard anything about a new Fofana bid lately… 🤔

Why spend money on this Italian kid when we’ve already bought a young super talent for midfield for £20m? Why not use that money towards a ready made, top class midfielder like De Jong who can help us NOW?

Please don’t let us panic and pay anywhere near this in the end.

Thinking about it more, now I’m actually worried that the sudden Anthony Gordon interest is because Fofana is a no-go. That Reece will become the RCB full time and Gordon is being bought as our new starting RWB. 😣😣😣
