I have a different view to the points u mentioned. 1. So we are clearly after a target man ... based on the ongoing rumors of players we're linked with I assume ... My take is currently we need someone who can score goals whether it's a target man or otherwise. And having someone like Auba only helps us who clearly has more goals than both of our strikers (i'm assuming) 2. The market is already inflated ... so does that means we never buy someone who costs a bomb? 3. As far as starting places goes, just because we got Morata whom we paid over the top money means we will never go after someone who can offer us something different/more when clearly Morata is having adaptability issues. Basically we should keep continuing with the hope that maybe in the next few years Morata would come out good. I believe in competition for places and we really dont have it in the striker dept. 4. There is always a first time to do things, mate ... who knows playing 2 strikers would be that things had Auba come in. I m aware of the reasons that u provided ... mine was more of an outburst to the current situation where the board are doing a shitty job. You presented your own opinions, I don't necessarily disagree with them. I mentioned points that the club most likely consider when assessing a potential deal like that, thus answering your "why" question from the club's perspective as objectively as I could.

Pizy 18,917 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 One thing that's annoying me is how twice the supposedly very reliable Di Marzio has said "done deal" on our striker deals over the past week or two and both times he's been completely wrong. He obviously wouldn't publish those things unless he felt very confident that they were true so what the hell is going on behind the scenes? Must be absolute chaos. Like I said before, if it's not Dzeko or Giroud, there's no other option available that's a better option than just keeping Bats. Anyone else would be a complete waste of money and is no better than Batshuayi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else would be a complete waste of money and is no better than Batshuayi. he was right with the agreement with Roma, he has always said no agreement between us and Dzeko.  And to give him his dues, he was right re.Giroud accepted bid as L'Equipe also report it. L'Equipe just went further to say we withdrew but are now back in talks. So in terms of what dimarzio tweeted "Chelsea reach agreement for Giroud £15m" he was right.  He gets some wrong too, but not in this instance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,490 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I like Giroud. He is more than just a big man. He can control a ball in tight spaces, bounce it off to Hazard/Willian. Morata/Giroud/Tammy Abraham next season? I'm down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only would that be a ridiculous price for a near 33 year old, but he has been a total bust at Spuds. Would be money flushed down the toilet. If we now can't get Dzeko or Giroud, just fucking keep Bats. How does that even make sense?! Urghhhh. Surley if willing to sell him so soon it shows he ain't good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Wait...this fucking collapsed after all was said and done because a perfectly fine offfer had expired? No wonder no one wants to do business with us.20m € sounds reasonable. Arsenal accepted. The only reason for us doing such a conditional offer with an expiry date on it is to give us enough time to buy another target but who are we kidding as if we are able to get a new striker within a few hours or secondly to unsettle the player in order to re-enter negotiations at a lower price which is a far too high risk at the very end of the transfer window. It always feels like the club is run by a bunch of amateurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 What I found ironic about it all, is that today Conte has said it's not right that transfer deadline day falls on the day of a match and that Michy situation is half half. Someone tell these brain dead fuck wits that they have had 31 fucking days to sort this shit out so don't moan about one day you fucking pack of morons.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Aubameyang is at Arsenal's training ground according to SSN. So merry-go-round of moves may be finally speeding up. Suspect it is Giroud we want as Conte's presser comments re. Llorente didn't give the impression he wants him.  (i thought you could only move once in a single season's two transfer windows anyway?)
