Signed a five one I wonder if there's a clause in his contract

He is obviously off next Summer but I think it will be anyone but Chelsea

58m is a lot. The board did try tbh. 

[zekinjo 449]

I would pay without thinking twice. Just compared his and Sergio Ramos stats and Koulibaly is better in every segment than Spaniard.

[robsblubot 3,502]

Either our defenders are as lacking as we claim they are, in which case it doesn't take much to vastly improve on them, or they are still good players and so we really need to go for 50m defenders.

I think the truth lies somewhere in between: we don't really have to go that high to improve on them and they are not terrible players either - Ivanovic's round form aside.

Hmmm...I don't know if we ever see him in a Blue CFC shirt ever.

Not too sure about Andreas Christensen. He came out saying he likes the BayernLiga more than the Premier League, so I can see him pleading Chelsea to permanently sell him to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Very strange for De Laurentiis to say: "we can talk about it next year".

Let's hope napoli failed to get a CL this season and they will be force to sell him next summer

Andreas talks about a future at Stamford Bridge because, in his position, he  more or less has to. To say anything else would be to invite bad PR for no good reason. Saying he prefers Bayern's league, or that he would rather play elsewhere than sit on the bench Chelsea, is probably about as far as he can go.

Gladbach would not waste their time pursuing Andreas so vigorously however unless they knew that he was keen to join them.

It's essentially the Premier League with only 1 club (Bayern) being more concerned with marketing than football. It's so much purer there.

We should be thanking our lucky stars that they did. Not worth that at all.

Chelsea transfer news: Antonio Conte set to swoop for Kalidou Koulibaly after passing on him in January due to his African Cup of Nations commitments

Blues had been considering a £50million swoop for the Napoli defender in the winter window as John Terry's replacement

[BoyBlue96 990]

I'm not that impressed anymore.

Fair play to him for staying at Napoli and trying to compete against Juve, but no one will ever break that chain anytime soon I think. All thanks to Conte. 

 

Who could he replace in our defence? Cahill? 

 

[Alessio 6]

It was impossible his transfer in January .

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Van Dijk would be better option IMO.
