Baba Rahman

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Easy. Walk out of this one. He will never be more expensive than this. Rather promote ake who has been solid or kalas who have performed every time when called upon. Not that we can't pay the money. But we shall not be held to ransom. Leave Augsburg with an unhappy player.

It says more about us than Augsburg, tbh

[Unionjack 7,531]

We all know Mou has a blind faith for whatever fuckin reason in Bane so I'm afraid I cant see Dave taking his spot no matter who e bring in as a LB. Or we could have just brought in a RB.

Im wondering right now seeing as its not going to be our year that we dont pay the blackmail we are being forced to pay for Stones/Baba and we spend the year finding and kissing the arses of the players that we do desperately need,

I know both the lads are good and would both probably do ok with us but just maybe we could get better for the same amount or maybe even a bit more. It smacks of desperation now with the other clubs knowing our situation and how we do need these players badly so of course they want to get as much out of us as they can and who can blame the greedy gits.

So it was €20m, then it went up to €25m and now they've obviously seen Brana on his zimmer frame yesterday and decided to bump it up again to €30m. Great.

Guardian said Augsburg rejected our offer last night but Bild has claimed the deal is "imminent".

If Augsburg have rejected a £25m bid for Rahman that's ridiculous!

I'm still unconvinced this guy is the right mould for our defence, I've never actually seen him play.. I've only seen videos on YouTube!

£55m for Stones and Rahman ... £5m more than how much we paid for Fernando Torres in 2011. Wow!

What about willems? I have no idea about his defending , but he is a great source of assists

[Fernando 6,585]

Is he better then Bertrand?

Sold and English player for 10 mill and spend twice that for someone like him? makes sense how Mourinho and the club do things....

[Duppy Conqueror 1,530]

in certain games Dave should play at RB. Bran has his worth..he adds a threat to get on the end of set plays.against less direct LW/LM he is fine..his ability to play CB is another plus.he should always be in our matchday squad but not always starting at RB. certain LW/LM`s give him kittens and we need another option there. personally I would have kept Kalas around last season and this. but that ship has sailed.

we desperately need to bring in another full back..LB is the obvious choice because we have no natural left footers in our first team squad. I wouldn`t up the price for Baba..i would offer a player,possibly even 2 who have no way back into our first team squad. if that fails I would tell them to fuck off and promote from within if no other LB becomes available who is good enough and then look at RB`s.

we kinda lost leverage in selling Luis before we had a replacement but Augsburg has a player who they know wants to leave and have already bought his replacement so I`d say that has evened it out.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,530]

Bertrand at 25 (now 26) and in the mix for England was not going to stay to be back up any longer. I wish fans would move on from that.

Chelsea have €25m bid for Baba Rahman rejected by Augsburg

Here is a quick thought, since Augsburg clearly want to rip us how about we go for Lucas Digne, Fabio Coentrao, Kieran Gibbs or even sign back AC3. All short term signings but would still improve our fullbacks without costing much then we can wait for Baba and get him next year if his really that good?

Why add rubbish to our squad?
