Yeah, if you want to be a net spend = 0 club, you can't afford to whiff on transfers.  Last summer, we whiffed on all of them except for Rudiger.  

Nii Nii of Blue Lions TV put together a video on Bailey a few months back:

I don't know how much is true.

The guy really is a twat, Go talk to him on his Twitter page. Has more BS and excuses than Mou.

Anything coming from that lame ass channel is garbage.

 

Well, he was right about Sarri.  He was right that in order for us to get Sarri, it would have to involve us buying a player and overpaying for him to end the stupid game of chicken we were playing with ADL.  He was right that we were never interested in Higuain.

He was wrong in thinking that shirt sales make back some of the high transfer fees (a common myth).  I definitely don't agree with a lot of his opinions.

He's like everyone else, sometimes right, sometimes wrong.  He does seem to know more about what's going on at the club than a lot of people.  It's like any news/editorial, you take what you want.

In this case, I have no reason to not believe some of the stuff about Phoenix Academy and payments that need to be made to it and his brother that aren't part of the transfer fee.  Whether that's what is in fact, putting us off from making a deal?  Don't know.

Haha.  I don't talk to anyone on their twitter page.  This forum is about as far as I'll venture in to speaking to people online.

Was he? If I recall correctly he flip flopped back and forth for months. It was quite comical actually... We were interested in Higuain, Gonzalo confirmed it today. We just weren't willing to match the club's valuation of him.

He's more wrong than right. The guy used to say he has exclusive sources from a banker who opens accounts for players... hahahaha every time he dropped that he took an L.

The guy is a clown.

I'm Jamaican, the stuff on the Phoenix Academy is well out there in the media... if you do enough digging you can get some info and then deduce an opinion based on educated guessing... I assure you this is what he is doing. Chelsea don't leak info and that much has been proven.

I don't remember him flopping back and forth.  He was pretty steady on the Sarri is coming train, when it got to the lowest point, I remember him saying that it wasn't going to happen.  He conveniently doesn't mention that often.  But, I wouldn't go so far as to say flip flopping back and forth for months.

I thought Higuain said that it was only Sarri that wanted him, but all of AC Milan did.  No?  If that's true, then it would suggest that the club weren't really that interested.  Could be wrong.

Phoenix Academy may be well reported where you're from, but I haven't seen any mention of it in any Bailey story.  I didn't know anything about the Phoenix Academy, and I kind of figured that a lot of other people wouldn't know about it either.  That's why I posted it here in the Bailey thread.

I'm not suggesting that everyone should believe in everything Nii Nii says (though I think he's better than the other Chelsea youtube channels).  I just wanted to present some more info in the Bailey thread that maybe people didn't know or just hadn't considered.

dude... he went from Sarri, to Jardim, to Sarri, to Blanc... it was actually quite hilarious!

The club weren't interested in him at Juve's price point. That's why we didn't get him and why there was so much negotiation going on.

Dude, just go on youtube 

 

 

NiiNii is just trying to make money off the club. Its embarrassing...

When I go on youtube, Phoenix academy videos don't magically appear without searching for them.  I had never heard of them before (which makes searching for them very difficult), and I had no idea they were linked with Bailey.  I surely can't be the only one that hasn't heard of them.

I'm sorry that's the video I linked.  Maybe I should have searched them out more before hand and posted something else (or you could have to, I suppose).  

Look, all I was trying to do was give some more information to people who might be interested in the Leon Bailey thread.

I'm not condemning you for not knowing the Phoenix academy. I'm telling you what NiiNii is passing off as insider info has been out there for years, I guess his benefit is for the casual football fan who need their info condensed to a 10min vlog? And I guess that is of value to you and others, because why else would he be charging people to ask him questions? lol.

My beef ain't with you, its with people who spread ridiculous rumours about the club AND monetize it.

10 minute vlogs are awesome for me.  I spend enough time thinking about this club and the players it won't get.  Condensed info that I don't have to search out works for me.

I do find the idea of charging people to ask questions is kind of fucked.  I just pass it off as a low rent Patreon type of thing.  I also think it's weird that people pay money to Twitch streamers to watch them play FIFA.  I figured it was an age thing.  I'm old.  Paying people to watch them play video games and give their opinions about football is weird to me.

Sure if thats how you go about getting your news on the club's activities then by all means... Just know that what he is telling you ain't all that insightful or truthful more often then not. 

I mean the guy has been hell bent on hammering home this idea that Cesc Fabregas isn't slow! Its so clear to anyone who watches football that Cesc is EXTREMELY slow and needs time and space to pick out passes. He also has been caught in so many lies about transfers that he's become a laughingstock. I would just watch him for the entertainment not the content.
