Beepu 1,714 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If he is not coming then Rodriguez would be my preferred choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Please don't do it. He plays in Sporting in a CB position. He can't play for CHelsea in the LB.The Metro is complete bullshit lol don't worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin Sarmadi 24 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Filipe Luis' future at Atletico Madrid could move closer to becoming resolved over the next 24 hours. Spanish newspaper Marca report: "His attitude has left him in a difficult situation and on Monday he will be obliged to turn up at the club and start pre-season training. Watch closely to see what happens next."The paper report him to be 'in limbo', having told Atletico firmly he wants to leave, and there remains a distinct possibility he could strike in order to try to force a move.

Amin Sarmadi 24 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 CHELSEA are refusing to pay Filipe Luis' £19m buy-out clause and will instead make a final take-it-or-leave offer of £12m for the defender.http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/487227/Chelsea-ready-to-make-FINAL-12m-offer-for-Atletico-Madrid-s-Filipe-Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Something will be in the pipeline especially with Cole out of the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonPride1905 236 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 We negotiated two great transfers in today's market, considering the inflated prices on basically everything. Giving some stick to Atleti for this mate is no bother, I even am happy for it. Considering there are so many options on the market, or atleast, 2 good, considering RR and Moreno, who will cost the same, or even less, I don't see why in the world Atleti will try to disengage this one. Especially when we had given them Thibo for 3 straight seasons. It's kind of childish. I know Its money, and it is to balance the books, still, 5 million? We are giving them 15 mil. it's not like he is worth anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 12 millions for a high level LB like Luis would be a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Astounded that this still hasn't happened. If anything I thought this would be the first deal that we would've concluded weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpassnmove 924 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 if rumours are true, I very much like this "take it or leave it" approach by the Chelsea.so, stick with it and if AM don't compromise, take Ricardo, posthaste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think Rodriquez would cost much, much more than what we're allegedly refusing to pay for Luis. Wolfsburg will not let go of him for cheap, considering their finances and his WC showing. I don't know why we're not looking at Moreno.

I don't know why we're not looking at Moreno.even if rodriguez costs 25mil pounds, it is an investment for the next 8-10 years. luis costing 20mil pounds for the next 3/4 years MAX is not the ideal deal and the club is doing good in recognizing that.

Speaking strictly from a monetary point of view, if the club is unwilling to spend more than 12m for their first choice target, why'd they spend more than twice that for a secondary option? Us targeting Luis while Shaw was available indicates we're not bothered about the long-term vs short-term aspect of the signing. For the record, I think Rodriguez would cost more than 25m, about 30m; Shaw money.My guess is that if we can't sign Luis we'd probably go for an unheralded, low-key name or keep Azpi as LB and get another RB.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I was trying to rationalize the club's thought process. I personally would sign RR, for sure.Wolfsburg signed De Bruyne and recently Jung, Im sure their plans are big for next few years. I dont think he would be available for less than 30m, otherwise some club would already bid for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
