Too many good sources to be calling it a Hoax honestly. Telegraph nailed it for me that we are interested.

Just because someone told them, perhaps someone well-connected at Chelsea, doesn't make it so. If you're going to engage in a hoax you have to start by making it convincing. :-)

Could be, but I honestly don't think these bids are a hoax, until someone from Milan comes out to say they haven't received any bids yet. I think Koulibaly saga is done and we won't get him in this window, unless of course, by some miracle we manage to sign him this week.

 

Whatever the case may be, I am dreading the fact that we have Cahill, Terry and Ivanovic as our preferred defenders still and in case we don't sign someone in this window, Hazard and Costa and co will have a lot of pressure to score, because I genuinely don't see us doing any good at the back.

Well we can't know but, right or wrong, I thought BCS made an interesting argument.

I really have hard time believing in this. Let me explain.

1) Last year Chelsea were in the hunt for CB as well. Tell me how Cfc weren't after him when they were in talks with Roma about Salah. The same Roma that were actively trying to sell Romagnoli. If Chelsea rated him, they would sign him off Roma, easy deal. Did he has some stellar season that changed Chelsea opinion on him ? No. So maybe the coach has influence here ?

2) Ah, the coach. The same that was ommiting him every time in his selection ? Even Daniele Rugani who barely played had call-ups ahead of him.

3) Isn't timing a bit off here ? Why so late, so rush, offers increased at such pace ? These are competitive people that are dealing with these matters, they have everything planned and calculated, it all seems unnatural.

For me it looks like a hoax, someone is leaking about those "offers". A good way to show to Napoli "Hey, you don't want our money, someone else will fancy them".

You are reading too much into this. The reason Conte went for Rugani and even Ogbonna instead of Romagnoli was because the former two were already used to playing with the Italian BBC and more importantly playing in a 3-5-2. That's it and nothing more.

People need to realize it's far too late in the transfer window for Chelsea to use a 'hoax'. I believe it's more the case of Chelsea hurrying up the process so that in case of a complete rejection they have enough time to pursue the next alternative, Maksimovic.

The Chinese owners of AC Milan have rejected our new offer and will block any new offer coming from Chelsea. Chelstransfer on Twitter and many others reporting it.

At the same time Napoli is improving their bid for Maksimovic. So in the end, Chelsea will be standing in the corner of the room crying with empty hands.

Haha. People slamming me yesterday because I already warned for this and now it's actually happening. Get ready for more Cahill and Ivanovic.

I hope you're real proud of yourself. Chelsea may be fucked but at least RuudiGullit was right about it on the internet!

So you are believing Express? Really? 

 

No wonder you get so much stick. You need to go see a psychiatrist. Too much negativity.

Mirror is also reporting it and David Amayol from Di Marzio already stated many times on Twitter that AC Milan's new owners have no intention to sell him.

If they were reporting "AC MILAN CONSIDERING CHELSEA ROMAGNOLI BID" you would be sucking your own tits.

Mirror.. Express.. 

I don't care if we don't get Romagnoli as long as we are active in the market, we should get a defender who's available. How can you blame the club if the other clubs don't want to sell their players? 

 

And I guess you were trying to be funny at the end? I would have laughed if it was funny.

I blame the club for taking action to late again. Like last year. Just a week left in the window and still nothing.

I have already said multiple times that we cannot blame the club for the fact that Napoli, Everton, Milan you name them don't want to sell their players. But I think we can blame them for the fact that it is the 25th of august and now they start panicking with buying players like last year and we all know how that worked out.

I really don't want to annoy my fellow Chelsea fans. I'm also not frustrated like the Arsenal fans on Arsenal Fan TV. I'm critical at the club's current situation. And I think all of us, after seeing our beloved club ending tenth, have the permission to do so. Cheers. And sorry if I was too abusive to you with that last line. I don't want to fight with fellow Chelsea fans.

Pretty classy reply at the end for apologising. I am sure if you be like this around here, people will like you and not oppose to everything you say. I personally would want to see you tone down that negativity a bit. Keep calm and trust Conte and Roman.

The truth is that 4 or 5 players in our starting lineup right now aren't even top 4 level any more. Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic, Matic are all very poor and have been poor for some time now. The calm on here is amusing given the amount of players needed and the club's ineptness in procuring them at a time when our rivals have strengthened so heavily.

I agree with you on the defense part, for Matic, he is getting accustomed to the new boss' system and I would want to give him a chance, especially after last season where he wasn't fairly treated by Mourinho in all honesty. We have Zouma out too who is a beast so there's Cahill out of our preferred 11. That's why the people, including myself, are calling for 2 signings, a full back and a CB and you have hit the nail right on the head too since you are right about these positions. But it seems like the club is aware of the situation and figuring out ways to strengthen these positions and all we can do is keep calm.

Exactly. I'm also pretty amazed by the fact that a lot of users here poke fun at me when I'm also ranting about this. I know I might be too emotional and everything, but I seriously doubt us getting top 4 with this squad.

I really, really thought the club was going to get rid of all the firewood players in our squad, as you mentioned. Going in a new direction with Conte. Shake off all skeletons left by José and so forth. But nothing has really changed so far. And I'm pretty disappointed by that fact.
