Aleksandr Golovin

Will be really disappointed if this is the case as he looks a very promising player and would seem to suit the new manager.

Watch him in 2 years time be valued at £70-80m.

Seems like we gone straight back to normal. Just missing out on players left right n centre 

Not that mate...seems Sarri and the club don't rate him that much...even if we have gone back to normal....not this kind of straight forward deal due to Romans influence and connection...

Maybe the club feels they can pull a big one  outta Savic/Pjanic deal...

Fuck, man! Dirt cheap and absolutely perfect for us.

Looks like it's between Cesc, Barkley, and RLC for that role now.

Fee is rising by the day, it seems. 35m~ for someone that probably won't start makes it less appealing.

We really need to get rid of more of our current midfield options as well.

Another one that Marina has bottled. We seriously have the worst negotiators ever. They always try to low ball people and get burnt every fucken time. I wish we were run by football people not people without a clue about running a football club, we would be at Madrid Bayern level now if we were properly run.

I seriously don't get how Drinkwater is still a Chelsea player. Barely got a sniff last season when options were severely limited. Now we have Jorginho, a fit Barkley, and possibly RLC if Sarri likes him. DD won't get near our XI at this point.

There's been no links for him. The club will want to recoup as much as possible from him and can't sell him if there are no takers.

Unfortunately until we get rid of Drinkwater and Bakayoko, it's difficult to justify buying more midfielders.

Monaco Russian owner stepped in and put the hard/soft grandmotherly love (Russian expression) squeeze on.

[Vybzkartel 284]

Fuck Im upset. Not even at losing Golovin but the incompetence our club shows every window. 

[Dimitr 488]

That’s why we have interest for pjanic. 

Pjanic >>golovin 

but  this is dream signing unfortunately

 Drinkwater was/is the 2017 version of Jiri Jarosik. Ridiculous price paid for a marginal player as well. NO clue why we bought him, other than he once played with Kante.

Then again so did MF's  Julien Féret, Andy King, Laurent Agouazi, Nicolas Seube, Fayçal Fajr, and Jordan Adéoti (over 200 games total between them with Kante)  and you could get the lot of 'em for less than 6,7 million quid total spend (the ones who are not out of football)

I would have been fine rolling with what we got at CM after Jorginho until he seemed in our hands and for such a great deal. we would have swarmed the middle with Kante,Jorginho and Golovin. gonna be a great player,i`m sure of it.

"Done deals" that go quiet for a while do have a tendency to collapse. Sarri probably doesn't want him.

[Jase 43,479]

Find it peculiar that people are upset over missing out on a player that most didn’t even hear off before the World Cup. 

Anyway, this Monaco deal seems to have Emenalo written all over it. Not sure if it’s as conclusive as reported given the contrasting reports we have heard over the last few days.

OR maybe Golovin finds going to Monaco would be better for his career. After all, it’s not like we have a stellar record in making young players better.

GET SAVIC NOW FFS!!!!

it's not only did we miss out on a player we 'havent heard about' but also that we spent the last month trying to sign him, with allegedly russian connection and all of that. how incompenent one board can be.

Maybe the board did screw up or maybe Golovin feels going to Monaco would be better for his career. We don’t know exactly for sure, do we?
