The point here isn't about the fee but the quality of players he wanted. We would still have ended up with duds, just like we did with Drinkwater, Zappacosta etc. You complained about the piss poor players that we have but are okay with what Conte wanted back then? Let's face it, Conte is a pain in the arse to deal with. It's always either his way or he'll go on a "riot" and start moaning about everything, including the club, in the public. You only have to look at some of the recent nonsense he did at Inter when he didn't get what we wanted. And oh, you also have to look at some of the duds he's signed since he's been there.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8699149/Timo-Werner-rejected-Manchester-City-Pep-Guardiola-PHONED-making-Chelsea.html?ito=amp_twitter_share-top According to Bild, Guardiola called Werner to convince him to join City but was turned down because we could offer him more game time.

Pretty sure Pulisic won't be back in time for this game.

He did win the PL title but trust him when he's asking players like Candreva, Llorente? That's very difficult. Furthermore, this is a manager who refused to work with the board properly on transfer targets and reportedly turned off his mobile in 2017 off season to avoid being contacted by the club.

Conte had better targets? That's extremely debatable. The guy was asking for players like Fernando Llorente and Antonio Candreva. They might not be Drinkwater or Zappacosta but we would have ended up with duds too. I know we fans always say the club should back the manager but on hindsight, am glad the club didn't do that with Conte because a lot of the players he wanted were old, bang average players or worse.

In the description of the video: "Go behind the scenes as Chelsea's record transfer signing Kai Havertz signed his Blues contract and took a tour of his new home, Stamford Bridge!" Record transfer signing???

Best agent in the world by the way.

Werner is happy...

Havertz added into the list.

The announcement video...

The club had weeks to prepare this and they couldn't spell his first name properly...

IT'S CONFIRMED!!!!! Player thread below...

Okay, it's Guardiola then...

Can't find it on Bild but this says Guardiola... I also remember Solskjaer reportedly had talks with Werner months ago.
