The plot seems to have thickened.

ffs, Don't want this to become a bidding race where we end up looking stupid as hell paying £20m for Salah...Rather we just brought back one of the dozens loanies to cover til the summer if we can't get him for ~10-12m

20mil???? just bring back moses for fuck's sake. 20mil is just ridiculous.

Can't exactly believe anything the DM says. After all they were reporting that Mata was in a helicopter a couple of days ago heading to United - took a while to land eh!

If its 20 mill hope it falls through, its just not worth it, rather we go for Draxler

[Badboy 1,526]

Salah can see that Mata couldn't even get into our side and thats scary for any 21 year old trying to make it in the game.

I smell bullshit. Surely Basel can't go back on their word now after both clubs had already announced agreeing on the fee and they had allowed the player to discuss personal terms and take a medical?

[Thendo 1,088]

What I don't understand atm is how Liverpool can improve their offer when ours already had been accepted?

"Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with FC Basel for the transfer of their 21-year-old attacking midfielder Mohamed Salah.

The move is subject to the Egyptian international agreeing personal terms and completing a medical examination."

Exactly. Surely Liverpool could just match our bid, get it accepted by Basel and then let the player decide who he wants to join (which yesterday Mourinho said was Chelsea). Why would Liverpool offer more than us when clearly our bid was already right where Basel valued the player at?

It's obviously not true guys. The fee has already been agreed. Mourinho said on Friday that the paperwork has been signed between Chelsea and Basel. Everything has been agreed. It's just formalities left. There's really nothing Liverpool can do unless the player suddenly changes his mind, but for Chelsea to announce that an agreement is in place then they obviously are confident that the player wants to join the club.

I call Daily Mail bs. We wouldn't have announced it if not Basel accepted the deal and put it to paper, the only thing that could stop it would be Salah not wanting to join but that has nothing to do with Liverpool making a bigger bid.

Yeah I don't think they can reject it after accepting. Thinking about the Willian case, after we bid for him Anzhi didn't subsequently reject Tottenham's offer - I don't think they would have been allowed to. They just left it to Willian to decide who to choose. This story seems like typical BS from the Daily Mail.

If this guy comes, there'll be a part of every Chelsea fan that'll blame him for the dismissal of Juan Mata. If Basel want £20m for this guy then call off the bid, there's better players for cheaper.

No there won't... Like Mourinho said, the club sought a replacement after deciding to sell Mata. It's not as though Salah was bought and then Mata was forced out.

Doesn't explain why the Mata transfer was delayed, if the Salah deal didn't go through earlier then Mata wouldn't have left so early.

Salah is just a replacement for the 2 departing AMs in Mata and De Bruyne. If he didn't come in someone else would have so I don't see why you want to blame him. Even though the majority of fans don't I'd think that if you're looking for someone to blame then it would surely be Willian, who took Mata's place in the starting 11, or Mourinho, who didn't play him much?

numbers in the squad ,,, with kdb and essien and mata out ,,

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Anyone who isnt a dumbfuck will realize that this guy has nothing to do with the Mata-situation.

1. They dont play the same position.

2. We sell Mata because we want to buy Salah. <--- Read this out loud 5 times. Then think about it for two seconds and realize how stuipid it sounds.

3. Salah is here for competition at the right wing.

Whatever Jose sees in this guy, better be it works out...
