Jase 43,479 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 2 minutes ago, Jype said: 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. Well, we don't want to suffer a Willian, do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the fee is done and dusted already. I think you just want to report the news don't you? Did I beat you to the link? Has this hurt you?

Pizy 18,958 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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.

Arsenal wanted Cech and we tried to include either him or Walcott in the deal but they refused. Basically a long term target for the club. We also wanted him on 2011 but he chose Arsenal.

Fulham Broadway 17,335 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I see this as a major signing even though it may not seem a big deal. Many players suffer under Wenger...Ox is one of those caught up in the mess that is Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Great signing. We already have a strong starting eleven, and now we have added versatility together with competition for Moses. £35m for a 24-year old Brit is a great price. With DD I really think we are only missing a LWB, and maybe a striker (still not sold on Bats at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
