LAM09 7,051 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 2 hours ago, Vesper said: Juve are refusing to sell Rugani to us now. We got Alex Sandro'd once again. Now this, lolol Chelsea transfer news: Blues offer £40m for defender Mattia Caldara after switching focus from Juventus teammate Daniele Rugani It appears Maurizio Sarri’s men have had a change of heart https://talksport.com/football/405310/chelsea-mattia-caldara-teammate-daniele-rugani/ Chelsea have reportedly submitted a £40m bid for Mattia Caldara, having cooled their interest in his teammate Daniele Rugani. The Blues were heavily linked with a move for 24-year-old, Italian, Juventus centre-back Rugani, however are now instead eyeing a different 24-year-old, Italian, Juventus centre-back. According to La Repubblica, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia met with Juve’s Fabio Paratici in Nice after the London club’s pre-season friendly against Inter. The end result of this meeting is that a €45m (£40m) offer has been submitted with the aim of bringing Caldara to Stamford Bridge. I'd expect them to be more reluctant to sell him after his impressive loan at Atalanta. However, our odd eagerness to sign another CB along with the potential return of Bonucci, could change Juve's stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,900 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 This is the quitest summer I can recall. None of the big clubs are really doing anything right now and the window is nearly over. I suppose Liverpool and Arsenal did all their work early so that's why they're quiet now. Ourselves and City have signed only 1 player each. Mourinho is already crying and bitching to the media about his clubs' business. Strangely, it's all of the smaller teams that are going crazy in the market while the big boys are waiting and waiting.

Outside of the Seismic Ronaldo move its been eerily quiet across Europe also it seems. Most big clubs doing their business right away or nothing at all. World Cup always messes with transfer season and the shortened PL window might mean other clubs are waiting until we can no longer bid to get deals done. Why do all the work then have a PL team match the fee and smash the wage offer right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,169 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Sime Vrsaljko from Atlético Madrid to Inter, here we go! Done deal Agreement found for Vrsaljko at Inter: 6.5 million loan + 17.5 million right of redemption they got a great 26yo bomber of a RB for only £21 He was by far the best actually available option if we were going to keep Azpi at CB (and thus not chase any more CB's) Simeone is supposedly FUMING too, as all they have left now at RB is the soon to be 34yo Juanfran This sale makes no sense at all for AM (especially for the low price it brought in) Santiago Arias from PSV is now going to be subject of a bidding war between AM and Napoli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 A lot of rumours have died down now as some of the players we've been heavily linked with have moved or are moving elsewhere. I seriously hope that the board don't think that a change in manager and one player is sufficient enough to suddenly make us challenge again.

If we do not buy another, and if Ampadu is loaned out, then a couple injuries or suspension hit, I certainly hope he would be picked over Cahill would rather have Azpi at CB and Zappa at RB than Cahill in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernej93 569 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 With Sarri comments about Morata and rumours about Higuain I can't see us buying a new striker. Too bad, I think this position alongisde LB is our main weakness. Maybe some rotation player like Vecino will come but this is probably it. We can only hope Morata or maybe Mitchy will adapt to Sarri system, Emerson becomes our starting LB and one of Barkley/RLC/Fabregas claim down that starting role as AMC. But we still have enough quality to finish in TOP4 this year. Delph played LB for City last year just because their system worked.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,900 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Like I said the other day, it looks like our business is all but done. Every target we've been linked to has pretty much fallen through. Higuain, Rugani, Caldara. Struggling to find an adequate replacement for Courtois so he may stay. Surprised if we see any other incomings with so few days left. Even our customary panic buy that I was sure would happen. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOIRO 64 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 IN Golovin(27m) Vrsaljko(25m) LeonBailey(65m) OUT Batshuayi(40m) Drinkwater(20m) Willian(60m) Zappacosta(20m) This is minimum transfer I was hoping for ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liuxas 124 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 As usual. Thanks to Marina this club become less and less powerful and attractive every year. Where all the money goes? So like we poorest club of Big Six along with Tottenham? You freaking kidding me where all money goes? Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,169 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Abramovich warned us all at beginning of window. £60m net spend. I certainly thought that meant a shit tonne of sales and use that for upgrades. Looks like I was dead wrong. Unbelievable we didn't dump Bakayoko, Cahill, Moses, Zouma, Drinkwater, and Courtois. That would have least gave us £170m to play with and NONE of those save Courtois is going to play for shit this year. That amount of cash could have gotten a really good keeper to replace Courtois, plus Bailey, and Fekir. Add in the already paid for Jorginho and it would have been a great window.
