I posted last night i could see Llorente to us and Batshuayi to Sevilla. But someone said to me Spurs wont sell to us, no chance. Seems talks with Arsenal over Giroud are ongoing so maybe he is the one we want. Llorente kinda also seems an easy rumour to start

Llorente is cup tied again for CL and FA cup, id fail to see the appeal for him. Plus he has not performed for Spurs. Plus fuck letting Spurs have Batshuayi. Giroud to Dortmund now has potential again

I think Giroud will come down to the player wanting the move rather than Arsenal. If he wants to go that bad Wenger will allow it IMO.

Eligible for CL. Decent in the air and finishing. Id have rathered Dzeko but Giroud absolutely wipes the floor with Crouch Barnes and Carroll

In general terms too though. Peter Kenyon was the best of the Roman era.

I wouldnt say he is, Giroud's plus point is he would be CL available

Roman needs to really shake the board structure up at this place. I get that Marina drives a hard bargain, but shes too stubborn and we are going to miss out on quality additions because of her, literally

That story makes out its his agent/reps holding things up.

Yeh i wouldnt have expected him to play tbh. Arsenal seem to have agreed a fee for Aubameyang according to Kicker, who say Giroud wont be involved as he wants to stay in London, so will likely come here

tuesday midday deadline if we wanted to use him v Bournemouth (unlikely in any instance). Sort it tomorrow or go get Giroud i would (yes i do rate him )

Di Francesco did say he will use him until he joins us (if he does) I'd give this deal until Tuesday. It wont happen on deadline day - i think thatd be a little too late. By dragging it out or refusing Marina is only going to further annoy and irritate Conte. (even though i am not convinced Dzeko's demands are the issue, i think that was an easy excuse to use given our over 30 policy) There is no way we made an offer of £26m or whatever and planned on giving him a one year deal, 18month max. I am not having that, sounds absolute nonsense. We must have known how old he was ffs lmao If i was a betting man, I would bet the issue is either Roma need to find a replacement first - or - the package fee.

Some sites say its what we have offered, infact most do. I just wasnt sure. Cant be arsed with reading another sentence with "dzeko wants 2020, Chelsea offer 2019" and the words "over 30 policy" lol

Are These reports tonight saying that we have agreed to pay Dzeko 5.5m euros until 2021, or that we are still not close on his contract? confusing

until i seen Sky Sources i was going to believe that headline. if any of the italian media report the same without quoting SSN, then admit defeat

its not so much hoping we sign dzeko, its more hoping we get someone so we avoid Crouch and Ashley Barnes Slight off topic, was just reading about deadline day in Italy, sounds absolutely bonkers. Every DoF, chief exec etc go to one hotel and negotiate. Walk up to each other it seems and try do deals. What a clusterfuck, but i bet it is insane to watch

well the italians have reported almost every single scenario. I just remember something about a visa and his agent

Wasn't it reported that Dzeko's agent cant get into the UK yet as he is waiting for his Visa? Thats likely the biggest reason behind the hold up

and, as of now, nobody reliable. Although it is easy to get suspicious and lose confidence of it happening

This might be what Conte referred to last night when he seemed arsey about his opinion not meaning much. Possibly he chose Emerson and Dzeko and isnt getting them

Letting Kenedy and Baba Rahman go obviously indicates someone is inbound, which 99.9% is Emerson. which as you state, I think would have been confirmed by now if Dzeko was not in the deal. But this contract stuff with Dzeko is mind numbing

Still saying in Italy it's being held up mainly due to the contract length.

Dzeko and Palmieri are definite Conte choices. I suspect he is having digs about Drinkwater, Barkley etc. This is not news though, we have known for weeks the club gets Conte's opinion and makes their own decisions based on that. I just think he should chill out with his outbursts

my confidence has dropped slightly after what Monchi said. Need some solid news one way or the other by end of the week IMO.

desperately need a striker. Batshuayi just isnt good enough at the moment, Dzeko would have made quite the difference tonight with holding the ball up

Then again i remember last night i think dimarzio said the price was agreed, but the bonuses were still being discussed, and what triggers them. so what Monchi said does tie in. As of now, the offer is not sufficient
