Andreas Christensen

If this happens I'll be one Conte sacking away from feeling completely detached.

buy back cause never guarantee the player want come back. fuck the board

[Rapkun 668]

It's actually fine if there's a buy-back clause included. The club gets money to balance the books and the player can focus on his new club and developpement.

Buy-back clause does not guarantee the player will return but it guarantees that the other club will not resist the sale. Besides, not too long ago the player himself said playing as a regular for Chelsea would be a dream.

[Tautvix 1,321]

I like the idea of buy-back clause. If after a few seasons he turns out to be one of the best defenders around we can probably take him back. I he is a failure for other club we should not mind because we already got good amount of money for him.

[Artandur 939]

If the clause would be limited to 2-3 years and we'd have zouma and koulibaly in full force at that point, i dont see him wanting to come back, though... 

That is, if we manage to sign koulibaly

[CHOULO19 24,332]

This is beyond stupid. He's at the very least at the same level as our other CBs, only considerably younger. Pay the penalty in the loan contract, bring him back, put him straight in the team. 

This is like when we refused to give Bertrand a chance when we had no one else at LB and and have been stuck since then with Azpi on the left and Iva on the right while Bertrand makes it into the EPL team of the year. Except this time Christensen has A LOT more potential and we'll probably end up with Mikel being moved permanently to CB! 

[Styles 9,790]

Nonsense story. Emenalo won't let this happen.

[LAM09 7,043]

Selling him permanently right now regardless of any clause would be questionable at this point. Zouma, Cahill, Terry (probably last yr) and hopefully Koulibaly will be our CB options, so there is no doubt he could & should be part of the equation next season at the latest.

A few million isn't worth the hassle.

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Why only 15?!

In today's market his value is 30 at least.

Because if we put a buy back clause the price has to be lower. 

[kc_blue 265]

I just think this sends the wrong message.  There are plenty of other players that could or should be sold to raise money before we think of selling one of our better prospects.

I can add, Eberl (sporting director of Borussia) asked on twitter about Christensen a few days ago said that CFC and BMG are in good touch and German club definitely has a chance to sign him on permanent deal.

Exactly. I would've only been legitimately worried about this if Mourinho were still here.

Zouma is coming off a major injury, Cahill isn't very good & this is most likely John Terry's last season at the club.

Despite what Anders has said about dreaming of a Chelsea future, Gladbach would not be pursuing this transfer unless they knew he'd be prepared to join them

I'm not caling the lad a liar, I'm sure that his statement is more than just a well advised bit of public relations but, when faced with a choce between a dream and a reality, it's hard to completely turn your back on reality. Gladbach will be reminding Anders about the difficulty he faces getting into the Chelsea team and they'll be asking him this question, "What does it tell you if Chelsea are prepared to enter into negotiations with us about your transfer?"
