Sideshow Luiz

Decided to go with a better gif instead of the correct shirt.

Then why don't they just accept 3.5 now? This is ridiculous. Feels like 2 bald men fighting over a comb.

Yeah, I see that, and they could do that. But, money talks. If we had offered more than Utd for Lukaku, I'm sure he'd be with us.

I'm not sure how they could be more hard-assed than they already are.

It looks like resignation after the clause expires. In other news, Liverpool have quite the midfield there. Losing Can, but adding Fabinho and Keita. Those 2 with Henderson can cover a lot of ground. Ox for depth.

It means he can come in to the UK for 6 months, but can't work.

Just pay it, FFS.

Fixed

I think this is it. ADL is probably negotiating, and we're saying take this, or nothing next week. I was going to say that we probably have a policy about managers over 60, and have only now realised his age.

Found this in another forum. Thought I'd share it. The Chelsea Board at the end of every season:

Beautiful day of football. Quite happy that Fulham are up and very happy that scousers are crying after that final. What a lovely day it is today.

Maybe he can, and that's what the delay is? I have no idea. We know about his clause, with a deadline. But no one had said anything about after the deadline. If the clause is removed, then what happens? DeLaurentis: His clause is 8M Us: He's going to just resign next week and you get nothing. I'd look at getting a replacement in, if I were you. ADL: If you fuck us like that, we're going to inflate the price of anyone you want to buy Us: You already do that ADL: Right. Well, it's about to get worse and we'll sell players like Jorginho to your rivals for less than what the current market is really saying Us: Isn't that already happening? ADL: Maybe we can work something out... The details of the post deadline termination seem sketchy. https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2018/5/26/17397992/whats-the-deal-with-maurizio-sarris-buyout-clause

I guess the question is: "How much will it cost for him to resign after next week?"

I see. Gotcha.

Can he not resign? I'm sure there's a penalty that he would have to pay that we would cover. I doubt the club wants to do it like that.

I doubt that Napoli are going to let them both go in the same window. Without Diawara, I doubt that they'd let Jorginho go so easily. Napoli seem to get their replacements in a year or 2 before they sell their first choice. Novel idea.

We'll see what happens. Whether we pay the full clause or not. A 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd makes sense. With this kind of a change, 2 years to see what kind of progress before committing to a 3rd year. So, whether he was 100% correct about the clause, maybe not. But, he was the only one suggesting that Napoli would have a replacement in first and that the door would be open for us to come in. It's not like we've just triggered his clause a la PSG with Neymar and Arsenal's 40,000,001 Suarez bid.

Niinii says 2 year deal. Now, I know he's a Youtuber and why trust him over any other source. But, he was right about Chelsea waiting it out for Sarri to get the sack from Napoli. It's not exactly what's happening, but he was closer to the mark that any of the other reports.

Right. Shame. From what I saw before, he had a real nose for goal.

Is no one interested in Belotti anymore? He was the hot name last summer.

I'd imagine that he'd go to RB. The one I'm curios about is Hazard. Sarri used Indigne on the LW as an inside forward and Mertens as a false 9. Could see Hazard as either.

That's us, in a nutshell. No other big club (or even some smaller ones) shift their identity as much as we do. Ramires was used as a CM in Carlo's midfield diamond. Was out of place in a 4231. Sold. Then, Conte comes in and wants a midfield made up of hard workers who can play B2B. FFS.

We've been linked with him before. The rumoured amount for him suits us. Very important summer coming up. You could argue that we've been papering over the cracks for a while now. Potential Sarri appointment would suggest that we are interested in a major shift.

If I remember correctly, Hazard was okay. But Iazzard was vilified. Never heard from him again.
