Maybe this is conformation?

Sure, but the BBC report also said this:

"Liverpool have also shown an interest, but the former Southampton player is set to move to Stamford Bridge."

So before people start to lose their shit over something Jim White said, which may or may not be true, I'd tend to think it's pretty much a done deal and just lacking official confirmation at this point.

An agreement of a deal was reported a few hours back, personal terms were still left. Judging by this report, looks like it's all going well on that front too

Not for me. Need to see confirmation he has agreed terms and all that. Think the fee is done and dusted already.

Well, we don't want to suffer a Willian, do we?

I think you just want to report the news don't you? Did I beat you to the link? Has this hurt you?

Never did I think we'd actually have to worry about competing with fucking Liverpool for a player any time soon. A club that's been a laughing stock for over a decade now.

Exactly. Losing this battle to that joke of a club would be embarrassing as fuck, especially now that it's been reported that even a fee has been agreed with Arsenal so clearly they're willing to deal with Chelsea.

Once its definitely definitely official then feel woooo. For now however...still chance could go wrong and be back to thinking wtf are we doing..

[Georgy 439]

Agree a fee with Sanchez as well 

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I can't see this not getting over the line, makes too much sense. He turned down a deal that is lucrative not because he's greedy, but because he's ambitious. If this is consistent with his thinking why would he join Liverpool who haven't won a free cup of coffee in years?

 

He signs with us he remains in London to play for a team that wins titles. And I'd like to add this is a cracking signing, he won't be the world class glamour signing we've been craving for years but he is a player who will come in and improve this squad immensely. At 24 I'm a firm believer Conte can still mould him into a lynchpin performer. IMO having Conte as coach adds a 15% or more improvement on anyone we add to the squad. He is that good at getting players play above their level.

He has also said he would like to play CM. That's more likely at Liverpool.

Liverpool? They have wijnaldum, Henderson, Can, lallana, Milner and have just put in a bid for Keita... I feel like this is just the media trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. He has about as much a chance at Chelsea to play CM as he does at Liverpool, the kicker is we are more ambitious and based in London.

The reason the BBC don't report anything to the last minute is they'd rather pay millions on the talentless Chris Evans then pay a couple of people to post updates on their sports website.

Nothing is done until there's a photo of them holding the shirt
