Don’t know if it’s correct info though. It is true. They are talking about Van De Beek but from 1:13, the presenter mentioned about the exemption that will be granted by the UK government if Van De Beek is registered as a United player before either of Netherlands' games. The rule applies to all players in the PL and EFL who are away on international duty. The club could complete the Havertz deal and register him quietly before announcing the deal next week...

According to this rule surely we would register Havertz as Chelsea player before this Sunday otherwise it’s getting silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true then why were all the reports when we signed Thiago Silva suggesting that he would quarantine before joining up with the squad?

Maybe because he went back to France (before going to Milan) between the Champions League final and last Friday? France obviously not exempted from UK's quarantine list.

Most countries are still following the standard 14-day quarantine thing. There have been many others examples I'm sure but saw the news earlier that David Silva tested positive for the virus today, despite having tested negative on Friday.

The point is that the tests at the national teams are apparently enough to circumvent the quarantine, but tests in the UK are not. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but hey, if it "forces" the club to announce the deal ASAP, then this is a blessing in disguise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In ideal world we would not have any of that but this is still better... Yes, the Nations League was created to replace the friendlies but has anything really changed? Even though it's competitive matches now, most fans - and likely club managers - are still showing the same disdain and exasperation towards these games. It would still be understandable if it's the European Championship or World Cup qualifiers but what value has the Nations League really added? I know it offers nations another route of sorts to qualify for the European Championship and World Cup but they could have easily tinkered with the qualification format of those two instead of creating a convoluted tournament that no one cares.

Popular Post! Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted September 1, 2020 Heard from Leverkusen fans they are already opening the champagne today. They are fairly confident they got the better end of the deal. 100m is max they could have got out of the deal anytime anyway so they are satisfied their management didn’t budge. The only way we could have gotten a few more pennies out of them is if we had dragged it on longer thus disrupting their preseason squad planning even more. Schick will replace Volland. Havertz will be replaced by the 17 yo Florian Wirtz. The remaining 75 will go into youth and development facilities mostly. Leverkusen are in a relatively healthy financial position thanks to the deal as their tiny stadium doesn’t generate much income anyway and they source most of their personnel from within Mufassir08, Simon1991, Johnnyeye and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To us it’s no doubt still a hefty sum but we’re willing to pay for a generational talent. 3 parties win deal.

Popular Post! Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted September 1, 2020 It’s half their yearly turnover . still, imagine him in a midfield with kovacic and billy. Very lightweight but incredible technique. Will cut through parked buses like a freshly forged katana Johnnyeye, Blue Armour, petre.ispirescu and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
