Chelsea Football Club.

Not even Sandro's transfer request will help us after they lost Bonucci to AC Milan. But after this today with Bonucci and his 24h transfer to AC Milan out of nowhere, nothing would surprise me anymore. I don't remember I have ever seen anything like that. Bravo for AC Milan. Extremely big credit to their sporting director.

Juventus has rejected an offer of €70m to sell Alex Sandro to Chelsea. (Sky)

If they rejected 70m then it's time to stop beating a dead horse and move on.

Well I'm happy that we didn't signed Koulibaly or Stones because they are not worth money that their clubs wanted for them, Nainggolan don't want to leave Roma and I'm sure if he decide to leave Chelsea would be #1 pick because of Conte and about Pogba if we really did put bid last year for him than ....,  but he would always pick Utd instead of Chelsea or probably any other team in the world such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern, etc...

Can you offer a suggestion for how this transfer should be handled?

Yeah, I'd advise them to follow the same steps they did to attain Lukaku.

Seeing how Stones and Pogba are turning out, I'm glad.

It's not always in the hands of the interested club to make a deal. It takes two clubs and a player to make a deal.

Breaking: juve reject 70m€ from Chelsea

That was a tongue in cheek comment. 

Did Chelsea get Lukaku? obviously not. Why not, because they sat around trying to penny pinch the deal and waiting for God knows what. They left the door open, only for Man U to come in and say "fuck it", pay the fee and get on with it. 

If Chelsea had paid the fee and wrapped this shit up for Sandro literally a month ago, Dani Alves and Bonucci wouldn't have left Juve yet. Now that they have left, taking a 3rd starting XI defender from Juventus is going go be difficult.

So Chelsea should have paid £100m for Lukaku and now what, £70m for Sandro? Have you considered that there is a limit to how much we can spend? 
We have to be realistic here, we still have several players to buy. We cant blow a vast majority on two players if the idea is to buy 5-6. 

Assume for a moment that we all in all have £250m to spend. For this money, we want to buy a CF, CM, CB, LWB, RWB, GK and RW. This sum is written in stone, you cant increase it by selling players. How do you proceed now?
As a side note, the actual transfer budget might be lower, and might be affected by the wages of the targets we get (for example, Lukaku and Sandro are both likely to want much higher wages than Belotti and Telles). Still, lets use £250m and ignore wages.

Yep. Bonucci leaving today was the final nail in the coffin for our chances at Alex Sandro.

Whats really fucking annoying is that we'd probably still be willing to do business with them and sell them Matic after they utterly refuse to do business with us. Or worse, send him to Mourinho and help him strengthen our rival.

[Johnnyeye 7,414]

No surprise here, Juventus playing hard ball, they have just sold Bonucci to Milan, Alves to PSG, so they now cant afford to lose Alex Sandro, this one is on Chelsea, this is what happens when you take too long to make deals, we are still waiting for the damn Bakayoko deal to be confirmed by Chelsea officially, if Juve want Matic now they can fuck off. italian pricks

Charity football club. I have no doubt we will sell Matic to Man United or Juventus, and happily take nothing in return from either club. It's Marina's specialty. Raise funds by selling assets, then proceed to never spend those funds on top players ever. 

 

How hasn't Conte lost his shit already? We literally need  5-7 signings and a majority of these are high-profile ones too yet here we stand, in the middle of July having signed the great Willy Cabellero and Rudiger. Amazing work.

Where are all these people who where bitter when I said this is not going to happen?
