TBF he played really well yesterday. Held the ball well, linked up nicely and made some good passes. The only thing missing was a goal.

what I'm hearing is his buyout clause is £44.2m. Utd triggered it but he didn't want to join them so we came in but with Kepa costing as much as he did, the club made an agreement to do a loan for accounting purposes. 
FFP kept us from making it official but it will be perhaps in January?

They probably kept it out of the contract for accounting purposes. 

Is it possible that Madrid were prepared to sell, but loaning him was our idea due to the fee demanded? I'm no expert at FFP, but maybe paying 3 huge transfer fees in the same fiscal year is too much to balance the books? Especially without CL money. Also gives the benefit of evaluating for a full year if he is worth that money. If that were the case, then having an option to buy would be a no-brainer. This thought came purely due to his Tweet above, it's a farewell not a see you later, so he must be pretty confident that he will not be a Madrid player next year... and who else could he know to be likely to sign him than the club he is on loan at.

This. Pretty certain it’s due to FFP, he will be officially a Chelsea owned player next financial year. I’m not even bothered to think about the Option to Buy clause now, be it exists or not, he’s ours. Of course, all based on he doesn’t flop.

That's not like a 1 season loan player speaks.

maybe he`ll go to Scotland. can`t imagine him playing abroad. he`s not a terrible player just not good enough for us.

How on earth did this guy survive deadline day??? real head scratcher.

When Kepa's family moving to London, We want his whole family here including his grandma.

All for Zouma plus cash for Martial. Zouma isn’t going to be a feature here. Martial will be a good option for us to have in the squad. Could be a very shrewd move.

That's a possibility. Maybe he'll be underpaid in 4 years time.
Matt Law was one of the only people saying that Kovacic had an option to purchase in the loan deal.  Might not be on his A-game today.

Let's secure the top 4 finish and the return to the Champions League and then worry about his future. He will sure help us in securing those objectives!

Great signing regardless if it’s just one year. Can always spend big next year for him or someone else.

Inter are an ambitious club now, no chance of this coming off.

Kepa in, Courtois out...

Baka is swapped for Kovacic.

Agreed.  It's 1 out 1 in, not just for financial reasons.

Can't see this happening. As I've been pointing out time and time again, Chelsea are at the limit for non-HG players, Someone has to leave for this to happen.
Anyone have any names for who is out the door?

Muhammed is the most popular baby boys name in Britain at the moment. wife is pregnant so found myself looking at an article about baby names. at first I was shocked..but then thought well..non-muslims spread the names out more between about 60 different names. did wonder if any non-muslims are naming their babies that after Salah tho..like in Liverpool..Muhammed Mclekkymetertamperor.
 

You're speaking nonsense imo. By your logic Kante wouldn't be playing for us because he is Muslim. The likes of Pogba, Kante, Benzema, Salah and the list goes on are all world class footballers. 
Let's just keep things football related though. 

“Who is Chelsea playing against next?”

“Lyon”

“Cool! Link them with Lyon’s captain then.”

“Done, clickbait sorted.”

lol... The guy stole the channel from the creator and since is talking like he's some footballing czar. Both ignorant and arrogant at the same time... I watch for the comedy, hearing him talk about football so rigidly and stubbornly is funny to me.

dude... he went from Sarri, to Jardim, to Sarri, to Blanc... it was actually quite hilarious!
The club weren't interested in him at Juve's price point. That's why we didn't get him and why there was so much negotiation going on.
Dude, just go on youtube 
 
 
NiiNii is just trying to make money off the club. Its embarrassing...
