And yes Diario AS reckon its still on and talks continue just to sort out loan with option or obligation. Mundo Deportivo are a bit "meh" in terms of reliability i think anyway, id have thought Marca would be the ones for Madrid clubs...

Probably get an update tonight from dimarzio or romano. If Lukaku and Chelsea want this deal, and we want him to play against Villarreal, it wont drag on for long

I just think PSG will slap 70m euros down and be done with it. If Inter desperately need the cash, i think they'd prefer that to our offer of 60 plus Alonso. Even though its perhaps better overall

Any Italian speaking fans in here, or Italian based. Just to give us an idea for the Italian media, can someone sum up whether the following are reliable, or pretty poor Corriere delo sport, Gazetta delo sport, tuttosport, mediaset... Pedulla, Di marzio. obviously we know di marzio is decent

I really dont see Hakimi happening, I think he will go PSG - although the reports are hilarious. Last night we were ahead and still in talks. Today or tomorrow itll be PSG. Sick of this saga already

Lose to Fulham and he will be on the brink. Beat Fulham, Leicester and Wolves and we will go on a run IMO. He will be fine at that point Beat Fulham, lose to Leicester and Wolves i think he will be massively under pressure then. Draw against Fulham? Not good either. In other words he needs a few wins on the bounce to even be safe. Before we play Fulham next Friday. Utd will have played, City, Everton, Arsenal; and Villa Spurs play each other. Points will be gained ahead of us, Fulham game is must win

None of us 'want' Frank to be sacked, we just understand that from a perspective of looking at Lampard the manager in black and white... he is too inexperienced for the job and its beyond him, IMO. We all want him to succeed, because he is Frank Lampard, the club legend But you have to forget about that when judging him and deciding if he should stay on. Is Frank Lampard a potential premier league winning manager? Not for me. Does his squad, ideally, need a more seasoned and experienced manager? Id say yes. I'd also say Jody Morris does fuck all and should be replaced, too - even if Frank stays IF Frank goes and i still hope he doesnt, i have to be honest...... it'll be Tuchel IMO

I still want him to stay, and would love him to turn it around. Will he though?

It'll be outs this window. Drinkwater, Moses (try turn it permanent), Baba Rahman, Alonso, one of Rudi/Tomori will go i suspect, i still think a few youngsters go on loan, and Gilmour may very well be included

It would have only happened if Jorginho went, and that isnt happenin

Jorginho wont go.

I find it incredibly difficult to believe Jorginho may head to Arsenal on loan or whatever, CHO may leave on loan and replacements for both will be signed. Not happening lol We have 24-48 hrs left. CHO will probably stay although i think a loan would do him good, and i like Jorginho so would keep him Only players id let go from the first team picture before 11pm Monday are RLC loan, Alonso loan or perm, Rudiger loan or perm (like him though). And revisit it in January Seen talk of Thomas Partey which just seems a lazy link, although good player.

This is not happening i reckon. Too late and West Ham will want 50-60m. Rice wont push it either

No chance we get Rice now. We aren't paying the asking price, and its too late in window IMO

Brilliant signing! I did expect a proper announcement video though given the hype around it.

Decided to pretend to be Carefreeyouth for 5mins so here goes "I'm told we are working on a new keeper whether Kepa says or goes, I do know who the club really want but cant say anything at the moment, sworn to secrecy - another bit of info for you which no one else has reported - expect more loan exits!" When the club announce our new keeper, i will then come back here and tell you i knew it was player X all along, just couldnt say anything.

Calling it now, Havertz to Chelsea gets announed as soon as the Malang Sarr to Leverkusen loan goes through. It'll be part of the deal somehow

Clearly a done deal, theyll wait now until hes back in London so he can be involved in the videos the club do. Then announce it

Covid testing tomorrow and first day of pre season for Leverkusen. Think Havertz will be there, he'd have to really; unless the deal is genuinely as close as Romano and cfbayern say

Leverkusen back in pre season Friday. If he takes part, its not as far along as reported. If hes not involved... its close

These will all be tied up by Friday i reckon via various media sources. Knowing our club though official announcement on website will come around end of September

Quite literally a tremendous transfer window should we pull Havertz, Silva and Chilwell off. If we can add a top GK on top depending on funds, could be a 10/10

Tedious saga now

If the journos are true, there will be news of a fee agreement soon. Surely to fuck

It'll probably be 80m euros and 20 in add ons as suggetsed elsewhere. Those add-ons will be easily achievable ones so that Bayer will get their 100m one way or another. Probably be something like 2million if Chelsea get top 4 at any point during his 5 year contract. Another 2million if Havertz plays a certain amount of games in his first season. And then for each year of his 5 year deal, say in the June of each year, Leverkusen get another 4m Many creative ways of making up the add ons
