RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 No wonder Roma happily accept that. But if you think about it, actually it is good thing for us. We can sell Tibo around that price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish my team is that attractive and stable. My dream. Utter tripe. We just signed one of the best midfielders in the world, beating Man City to his signature. If anybody believes that nonsense, they're very naive. The Liverpool who have done nothing of note, apart from getting to a CL final and being beaten by one of the poorest Real Madrid sides in years.

Not only Real who is interested. To the highest bidder of course and the value will be going up. At the end, think we could get around 60 plus if Alisson is 75 plus.

Pizy 18,896 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 To pay that for a keeper is literally mind boggling. When we were mentioned at least we were basically half funding it with the sale of Courtois. Almost £70m for a keeper. That is unbelievable. That's the sort of money you spend on a star attacker. Desperate at this point to see who we bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 That's the kind of money you foot for the next Buffon or Neuer. I don't see that in him but we'll see. If Chels truly were willing to pay silly money for a goalie, I hope the club will make a move for Oblak as that would actually make sense. He's a GK who's proven himself at the highest level to be among the best for the past three seasons. If not Oblak, I like Sergio Rico. Good young GK who's been improving every year and I'm sure Chelsea's Spain gang would make him feel right at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldportblue 547 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 so for who do we go for now? My preference would be donnarumma but he is one of milan's prized players, don't know if they'll be willing to sell him but I did hear they're having financial problems so who knows, maybe it's possible... the only thing is his agent is the shady Raiola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's too big 625 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I reckon Courtois will sign a new contract, same wages, but Chelsea will say to him they will let him go next summer but for a fee. That way they get money for him, but they won't ask for silly money as they know he would like to go back to Spain. Real Madrid buy him next summer for around £50-60m and we reinvest into another keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Roma came along and bidded £100m, Chelsea accepts it but Courtois refuses, then the deal won't go. Courtois can afford to do that, since he has a year left. Let's see. Would be a risky move if he is doing that. He is a prick, but he is not that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club can evaluate and take the risk of bringing in Donnarumma and sell Courtois I wouldn't mind that especially considering Courtois antecedents...

Exactly, so if his dream is going to Spain, then there will be Atletico, Real and Barcelona making a bid. I can see he is going to accept all. No way, he sets his mind to one club only. That is the room for war bidders I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleti - Oblak Barca - Ter Stegen Just because there are other teams doesn't mean everyone wants him? Plus he has been vocal about Real and the city of Madrid. They have all the leverage in this situation. 35-40 will be the price, and considering the situation I am fine with that fee. Get a grip on market dynamics man.

And don't tell me you believe that he is agreed deal with Real already. Dude not even back from his holiday. Everyone is alert and waiting. Also as a reminder, bloke has just won the golden gloves. Would you sell him for peanuts? Board is not that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblak is a hell of a goalkeeper though, one I'd gladly spend Alisson kind of money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
