He is giving out 'come and get me' pleas from left to right lately. If Courtois had said this so blatantly, he'd get trashed. It gives me the feeling that Chelsea to him is a consolation prize, a fallback option. But still, wouldn't care about that if he signed a new contract and played for us, even if he'd be crying inside.

Fans maybe not, but what about Hazard? He also didn't seem to have any idea what's going on. How do we explain that the players themselves are asking for clarity if keeping Conte was the plan all along?

Are they assuming that transfer fees are paid from Roman's personal account? What a load of shit, clickbaiters just doing their job, all other explanations have more or less been covered already so they decided to go 1 step further.

Mate we are Chelsea fans, you seriously don't need to tell me not to get my hopes up

Exactly, most media stories don't hurt the club and don't grow this big. It's not a case of some silly transfer rumours or whatever, it's about the club imploding in front of the whole footballing world. We are already a laughing stock...the hit our reputation takes can affect club's revenue not in a positive way. So yeah, a statement would have been by far the cheapest option to put these speculations to bed.

Think we can call this one bullshit because that visa talk is just nonsense. It is unlikely he gets a visa before the deadline, so what do we do, not sign anybody? Well, things are going that way but never do I believe it's because Roman can't work in England.

In cases like this they do, or at least should, and it should have been done weeks ago. When press speculation hurts the club and everybody is demanding clarity, they don't say anything just for the sake of not saying anything? I don't buy it, they are allowing those stories to continue because they are (partially) true.

Don't care, even forgot he was still with us.

Imagine if all this falls in place, we'd have a midfield of Kante, Golovin and Jorginho. How awesome would that be

Or maybe they were just waiting for Roman's yacht to arrive in Capri. As good an explanation as any. [emoji848] Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Yeah he was great. Possibly motm performance. Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

He may have joined as a teenager but was immediately loaned out for three years. Instead he developed love for Madrid. Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Well at least the club recognises that a great goalkeeper is vital. Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

I too think Conte staying at this point would be a disaster. Not getting on well with the squad and no pulling power for new quality signings, also too many media distractions would derail our season further. Everybody will know he is there only because the incompetent board couldn't secure who we needed. Sarri MUST get done! That is unless the club wants to become an utter and complete laughing stock.

Yes, that is a possibility like I also said in an earlier post of mine. But... I very much doubt this is anywhere near close because Tibo is still in Russia and he has the final say. We may have bid/enquired for Alisson to test the waters, but I also suspect those numbers like 60-70m are pulled from the journos asses.

Rabiot is a better option than anything else we have, so yes, wouldn't mind. Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Rabiot is 1/10 of N'Golo, no thanks. I want him to stay and become a legend.

Are they really this reluctant to keep Navas for another year? They've won like 3 champions leagues with him, what is it to wait one more year and then get Tibo for free? We are the ones in a tough situation here, not Real. Maybe this is why we bid such desperate amount for Alisson?

Ronaldo will either retire at Real or go for a final last big paycheck in USA. Don't believe he will join any other European superpower before that.

We will never sell Tibo for 60-70 because of his contract situation, get real. We would need to fork out additional 30-40m to fund Alisson's transfer, that is if he even wants to join this mess of a club.

Real Madrid bid for him?

Exactly... This is the type of bid a City or PSG would table, never us. So I am VERY sceptical about those stories. I think it's more likely that Courtois stays and extends his contract or leaves on a free next year.

I only now realized 9th July is next monday already, until now this date has seemed so distant and with plenty of time to get things done. 4 days remaining, if nothing happens by then, then it is getting increasingly more likely that Conte stays.

100m for a rotational player? Lmao... Marina must be seriously tired of this market shit. Kovacic must push for a move, otherwise nothing will happen for that money. Can't imagine anybody eagerly pushing to a managerless mess though... Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/982860/Chelsea-transfer-news-Eden-Hazard-contract Terreur told the Transfer Talk podcast: “I haven't heard anything about Real Madrid since Zidane left. There's always been contact with agents and his dad has been in touch with the club too. But when Zidane left it was not going to happen. “I think Real Madrid were interested before Zidane left. He was always pushing for Hazard for three years but in a way a deal never materialised for him. “He was in talks with them in 2016 but then he got injured and Madrid decided not to move for him. “It will be difficult for him to move away from Chelsea as they are not going to sell a lot of players and certainly not their best player. “In the situation they are in, he wants to make what the club are going to do, he wants to know who the new manager is and the players they are going to be signing, then he might consider even signing a new deal. “For him, it's always been about his family life and his family have always been very happy in London. “It's not a priority for him to move but if he could make his dream move to Real Madrid he'd take it. “He knows it's now or never, he's 27 and will become 28 in January, it's now or never.” Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
