César Azpilicueta

[SeB 1,281]

According to La Provence, Chelsea's first offer is 4m€ with bonuses to reach 7m€. £3.14m to £5.4m

What a bunch of twats if that's true, pays Salomon Kalou £4m a year for several seasons running and cannot offer more than three and a half peanut for each player...

Otherwise RMC announced the agreement would be made today for a 9.5m€ fee with bonuses (£7,46m). Considering Marseille signed Azpi for 7m€ (£5.4m) IIRW

Reports in the french press aren't as encouraging, several papers (probably the same source though) seems to mean there has been one or several offers not reaching Marseille's expectations. But to be honest their infos aren't based on facts or quotes, just pieces of information in short news...

But Le Provence is trustworthy, isn't it ?

According to them the deal is set to be done in the near future (early next week).

[SeB 1,281]

That's the local paper, they are more precise on their local teams but aren't credible at all reaching a certain stage where they speak about things outside the region. In fact there's several reports, on La Provence there's 3 articles from 3 successive days, considering all medias copy each other you've the same information mixed even not at the same time. The conclusion is that our offer isn't enough, according to today's paper (generally you barely have the articles of the day on the web, you've to wait some days)

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Ok, thanks for infos. But why do we stall with this transfer, I seriously do not get it. Give Marseille a few millions extra, they are not asking for some enormous amount of money and besides they are a big club that is in financial difficulties at the moment, plus they gave us Didier. We need to sort this out, get it done as quickly as possible.

That was from yesterday. Latest one is this...

Meanwhile, the Blues have apparently had a bid for Marseille right-back Azpilicueta rejected.

Stamford Bridge officials were optimistic they were close to agreeing a deal for the 22-year-old, but their offer of an initial £3.1million plus the possibility of a further £2.4million in performance-related bonuses was turned down, reports La Provence.

Marseille value the Spain Under-21s international at £8million and are prepared to hold out for a bid much closer to their asking price.

I wish that guy would just shut up!

We should never have let the Mono-brow King leave us.

Maybe we could buy him back from QPR. How much you think they'd be asking for him?

IF what was reported there is true, then the board seem much more concerned with the finance than the current state of the squad. This Azpilicueta doesn't even involve a huge transfer fee, so why can't they just get it done ASAP considering that we desperately need a RB now?! If this drags on, we'll only gonna leave ourselves in a sticky situation with only 12 days of the transfer window left to go. Either we'll agree for the price that Marseille wants at the end of the day OR we'll become panic and pay over the odds for another RB!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If the board is willing to spend for Hulk or Modric over 40mio, we should easy put those 12mio for Azpi. And Moses. Keep putting those ridiculous fees and Marseile and Wigan will fuck us off, other clubs will pay for them and we will end with Van der Wiel for 15mio...

César Azpilicueta starts for Marseille today. Surely his last game with OM. #CFC #OM

[Stevenx1313 17]

When we try and get someone for a steal everyone complains that we are rude, stingy etc. Then if we overpay its because we are chelsea and the new kid on the block. So maybe if we started low and worked are way up to a fair asking price it would work right?
