If Sandro is spineless and just "goes with the flow" like has been said so far, then I think he's staying. Show some balls, make a decision and stick to it... stop wasting our time so we can go for other targets.

I think this proves the media know shit, because just recently it was reported that we'd offered £61.2m which Juve accepted, now they are backtracking and saying that Juve want 60 but we are not paying that. Ffs I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

Not good enough. We need more than 3 signings.

How do you reckon that squad would hold up to a full domestic and european season with only 3 signings? And I'm not talking about only the starting XI. I for one am glad that Conte is (reportedly) pushing the board towards action, far too many times in the past they been slacking off and not prioritizing improving the team, this time they have no choice unless they want to risk losing Conte. Imagine the backlash if that happened.. I bet they don't want to imagine it either.

I can't find this tweet. Where did you get it?

Is he better than Christensen?

20 million euros? No-brainer.

We understand you're a Juve fan and don't want to lose him, but it's time to start accepting it.

English forums? Please provide link to Sandro thread.

True. I'm still in disbelief that this is happening. When the story first broke I was very pessimistic, thinking that this is either bullshit or no way Chelsea can pull this one off. This is the type of signing Real Madrid or Bayern Munich makes, genuine world class. We sign Babas and Djilobodjis. They are proving me wrong though.

Same shit that has been repeated for days: # Juventus accepts proposal for 70 million euros, and Chelsea is close to closing Alex Sandro. [ @ FoxSports_br ]

... what?

Verdict? Is he good, worth the money? What positions does he play?

Most reliable outlets are reporting that we are close to signing him. Some random Italian papers with questionable reputations are saying the deal is (maybe) off. I think I know who I believe more. We are getting him.

Please fix it already ffs @Jim

Lmao... Did he even play one minute at CB?

If he has any sense then he has to be grateful for the opportunity to be playing in such a team in any capacity.

I'm sure the club have more on their list than only those 3 names.

How do you know we don't have many options? If we indeed sign him for stupid money I guess then we can conclude we didn't have other options, but until then it's premature to get to such a conclusion.

70 million? Pass. We can get any CB in the world for that money, VVD hasn't proved anything close enough to be worth such a record breaking deal. At the moment he's only a big fish in a small pond. I mean he didn't even play for half of a season due to injury, the hype is unreal with this one.

£40m is probably the best price we can get for a 29 year old with 2 years left on his contract. I'd rather sell him abroad for 30 mill, but I haven't heard of anybody being seriously interested other than United, so this may be our best chance of significantly cashing in from a player who probably wants to leave. And on the positive side we can use that money to finance the signings of other potential targets that Conte really wants. Ideally of course I would not sell him at all and keep him to compete with Bakayoko. Selling him also means getting another midfielder unless Conte puts a lot of trust in Chalobah/Baker/RLC, which I doubt. Having only Bakayoko, Kante, Fabregas, Chalobah is far too thin and would once again put us in a place where one injury/suspension would set us back to stone age. So hopefully the money will be well reinvested in midfield.

Is this guy in the know? Reliable? Connections to Chelsea?

Don't kid yourself, you will feel let down if it doesn't happen no matter how "calm" you claim to be. Face it, at this point we're all excited and will be disappointed if it didn't happen. There's too much smoke for there not to be fire. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Didn't Liverpool officially declare their interest in him over? Yet they're still trying to do something? What a spineless bunch.
