Because it was said that £35m is nothing. £35m is a lot of money. I'm sure you can buy the majority of Bayern senior squad players in return, for that kind of money.

That amount of money won't buy you starting quality replacement? Let's see...

Kingsley Coman cost us £25.2m (I'm including money we paid to loan him in)

Serge Gnabry cost us £6.3m (I'm excluding money we were paid for to loan him out)

Alphonso Davies cost us £9m

Total: £40.5m

Basically, given that Ribery and Robben are moving at the end of the season, Bayern are bidding almost as much money for CHO as they spent on the rest of their wingers altogether.

What I think you really need are good scouts to get players at decent prices. Well, or get a Drinkwater for that price. Your choice.

With a proper DOF to go with them and a system in place where theres conversations and a meeting of minds before players are bought and sold.

But none of these players give us what Callum does. Why are you not trying too sign them if they are so good.

There is 1 player there that could come close to replacing him, Thorgan, but he’s much older, already been here and didn’t do much.. it’s  hardly something we should be desperate to make happen .

We're not trying to sign them because we don't want to weaken the opposition

Really, the reason is that we're rebuilding and want to build for the future not for now. We want to build wings that are set for over a decade.

Why can't we want the same thing with our own player?

Because your staff already convinced him that it won't work with you guys.

Really, How so?
Facts that we know for sure would say otherwise.

Refer to all newspaper reports. You can choose to not believe them, sure, however it seems pretty clear he wants to move because he doesn't feel he'll get enough playing time at Chelsea as opposed to Bayern.

All the newspaper reports that have gone quiet, the only thing keeping this alive right now is that your club keep coming out in public saying they want him which unfortunately doesn't work when your dealing with another big club who can offer him the same.

Newspapers are also reporting recently that he denied reports he wants to leave etc, so yea, you can choose to believe whatever you want.

If you want to talk facts, tell me how many Premier League minutes CHO played in before Bayern knocked on Chelsea's door.

So MAYBE, you have done us a favour, thank you

If by "us" you mean CHO, who's the only one who seems to have gained something, then yes. However, I'm pretty sure that CHO is wondering that if the window closes before he has a chance to move to Bayern, would he be getting the playing time he was getting before Bayern's interest or after Bayern's interest? At least, if I was CHO, that'd be what would keep me awake at night. The difference is quite notable, I'm sure you'll agree.

Haha, you are sure what the player is thinking from reading newspapers?

I'm sure he's thinking a million things right now, unfortunately just because Bayern bid 35m and publicly declared interest, does not mean he won't be thinking about anything else.

And by watching him 'like' multiple Hummels posts or the announcement of Bayern signing Pavard (by the way, cost less than what we bid for CHO) on his official, verified, personal Instagram account.

Posts that can mean anything and are all just to benefit himself, which is fine, if we signed every player that liked our Instagram posts we would have 10 new players every window.

How many of these players have you made 4 separate transfer bids for, though?

What difference does that make?
