Rodríguez seems like slow to me. 

I don't feel it but hey anything at this point is better then nothing. 

If it don't work out we can always ship them out like baba..... 

You're correct Rodriguez is overrated as fuck and is a defensive liability. Don't want him anywhere near here.

Kalidou Koulibaly has told Napoli that, right now, he doesn’t intend to sign a new contract, as #Chelsea make a new bid. [Calciomercato]

#Chelsea’s new bid for Koulibaly is between €37m & €40m + bonuses. They have offered the player a €3.75m five-year contract. [Calciomercato]

Napoli are against Kalidou Koulibaly’s departure, but #Chelsea’s newest bid is said to be good enough for them to consider. [Calciomercato]

Haven't we offer a 45 mil. euros already, in our previous bid? 40 < 45, right? Or I am missing something.

The media just like to pull numbers out of their arses. 

Just look at the pogba saga, at one point it was reported that Man Utd were going to pay up to £110m now im seeing its going to be £89m

This cannot be another fail. Getting new quality CB NOW could be decisive for future of this club.

If this fails too, switch to another target, to another TWO targets. Splash 50 millions. Just get the job done.

He needs to be brought in by the end of this week. He'll probably miss the WHU game and maybe the Watford away game.... 

[BlueStorm1003 539]

Get him ASAP or go for Mustafi. I'll take anything at this point.

Fuck sake...

Imagine Chelsea caving and paying over the odds, much to the delight of fans everywhere, and he turns out to be Luiz's brother.

I understand the desperation of many supporters but you also have to remember this isn't Godin, Chiellini or Boateng we're talking about. As in defenders who have been performing at a high level in elite football for multiple years. If the club isn't willing to just fork out silly money for him, that's perfectly understandable.

I'd love him to join and would take the risk because of the current situation in the centre of defence (though realising he could easily fail to live up to the expectations), but I won't lose my mind if the club simply isn't willing to to pay stupid money.

I just hope they are working on a deal for plan B and C as well because not having alternatives would be incredibly dumb.

Just go for someone else ffs. He's not worth that much.

Absolute beast of a defender. The best available there by far but at this point I don't think it will happen unfortunately.

Need to switch to another target.
