Chelsea Transfers

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

We were linked with Coutinho before a lot and now with Isco. If we are after that type of player maybe James Rodriguez would be even better option. His stats are way superior to Isco's. Age should not be a issue with him since he is slow player anyway. He has great creativity. Not sure he wants to play in England tho.

You're going off on ONE report. And getting an AM should be the least of our priorities, if at all.

All this Sancho talk is getting boring by the way. Want us to sign Werner, desperately!

Reports say Real wanted to bin James to us but we refused and instead want Isco.

Sancho would be great. 

Also what that ninja emoji means?

We all are forgetting the 800 pound gorilla in the room with Sancho.

Shitty have right of first refusal

AND

they have a built in 20% discount (due to a sell on clause as well)

and Sane is basically 90% going to Bayern https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/leroy-san-zum-fc-bayern-er-hat-sich-entschieden-66762634,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html

even if we accept that we will pay £120 (or even £127m which is the full 150m euro asking price)

Shitty will just take the 80 or 90m from the Sane sale (depending what they get for Sane), dump in £6 to £21m cash added  (even if they only got 70m for Sane, they still at max would only pay around 31m extra and it could be only 26m or so if Sancho goes for 120m quid, all for a player with 4 years longer peak playing time or so, as Sancho is over 4 years younger)

and walk away with him

there is nothing he or we can do IF they decide to do that

so I am far from thinking this is a done deal on any of the multiple ends

I'm expecting both! With Chilwell, Ake and Isco I think those are our next five signings.

Bullshit, if Sancho doesn't want to return to City they can't do shit.

EH? They have that right in the contract? First I've heard of it.

First refusal is different than buy back. If he doesn't want to go there he won't. 

And how does first refusal exactly work? 

Club A offers 5m for player X and club B with first refusal use this clause to stop transfer. Then club A offers 6m and club B can't do anything anymore?

As far as I'm aware right of refusal is they have the right to match any other offers on the table and it would have to be accepted.

But that doesn't mean Sancho can be forced to sign for them. He can choose one of the other options. There is absolutely no way it would be allowed for City to force him to sign for them if he doesn't want to.

All it does is prevent a club and Dortmund keeping from blocking them out of the market for the player.

My understanding is that Club A makes an offer and if it is accepted then the club with the first refusal has the opportunity to match the offer first before the deal is signed off.

However this is just to be able to negotiate with the player and doesn't mean he has to accept that offer. He could accept the offer from Club A.

It just stops a deal under wraps being completed before there is any chance for Club B to react before the deal is done as the selling club have to keep them notified.

Chelsea agree deal to sign Tromso teen Fiabema as Lampard plots January moves

IF Pep stays at Shitty, get prepared to be disappointed on Chilwell too, he obviously is not happy with his choices (all 3 of them, lololol) now and can easily raise funds by selling off 2 of them (LB's are so easy to sell just look at all the teams who want ours in the past 2 or 3 years)

I see zero links with us and Telles, let alone the far pricier (60m euro RC) Grimaldo and then the even more expensive (100m euro RC) Gaya, and after thsoe 4, it is a massive drop off, unless we can somehow make a deal with Bayern for Alaba (which is HIGHLY doubtful)

Sancho himself is very iffy, as (see above) Shitty have both a right of first refusal and a sell-on clause that lowers the price they pay by 20%)

the only for sure lock is Ake (due to his buyback clause)

Ben White is speculation, and I do not see us buying him unless we well Zouma as well (AC is surely gone, so Ake replaces him)

Romagnoli is now off the board due to his signing with that cunt Mino

Skriniar will be too, if he also signs with Mino and both he, and AR are in same boat as Ben White anyway, IF we keep Zouma, we will not buy any of them

Isco is speculation, plus I wager RM will pull some shit and do to us what Marina did to them with Alonso in 2018

Zaha is going to be the move we make, I fear IF Sancho deal goes up in smoke

I see little to no action/links going on with us and Ziyech (and that is even if that is a good deal, which I have doubts on)

 

Werner is a MUST buy IMHO, but there is absolutely zero guarantees on that, and he will not come I fear if we do not have CL football next year

If Werner falls though as well, I have no idea who we make a mover for, a lot of names linked, but I see nothing really concrete (I would hope it is Jovic on a loan with option to buy)

 

Bonus report on LB (a teen I said was the best or close to best youth option) I think this MIGHT be Leicester, getting ready to lose Chilwell, OR (let's hope so) it is Shitty making a move now OR the nightmare, it is either Victimpool or Manure or Spuds in which case even my main youth LB option is off the board with zero advantage to us

or maybe it is us (really doubtful I think, but who knows)

Premier League side makes €30m bid for Angers left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri

https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2019/premier-league-side-makes-e30m-bid-for-angers-left-back-rayan-ait-nouri/

L’Équipe report that 18-year-old Angers SCO left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri has been the subject of a €30m offer from an unnamed Premier League club.

A few days ago, Angers General Manager Olivier Pickeu met with Jorge Mendes, the teenager’s agent, in London on the subject of negotiations with a major English club about a January deal. In this meeting, a concrete €30m offer was conveyed to Angers for the player.

The club is a top 5 Premier League team, but their identity has yet to be unveiled. In recent past, both Manchester clubs have been after Aït-Nouri. The player is kept up to date about discussions week after week. Angers representatives are determined to make the player’s departure a club record sale.

Mendes and Pickeu have become unlikely buddies in recent years and are working together towards that goal for Le SCO.

Pickeu wants €35m in order to let the player go, and several possible scenarios have been talked through to that end. A William Saliba – Arsenal type deal that would see Aït-Nouri return on loan to Angers for some time, for example. Angers representatives would prefer not to sell the player until summer, but won’t rule a January exit out…

lol

you need to read up on contractual law

a player has no rights to refuse a buy-back or a right of refusal clause unless that is specifically written into the contract (and why would a team ever do that as it defeats the entire purpose of either clause)

I have posted extensively on this before

wrong

see my other posts on the subject

unless it is written into the contract (which makes ZERO sense for Shitty or any team to do so at it defeats the entire purpose of both a buy back and a right of first refusal clause) a player cannot void the deal. He signed the contract, he must legally abide by it. And if Sane is sold to Bayern, Sancho would have little reason to NOT want to go back to them anyway, as it would be Pep and the club not only admitting they made a huge mistake, but paying dearly to sort that mistake)

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

A first refusal transfer clause gives the club who has the benefit of the clause the opportunity to be informed of any deal that the selling club is willing to accept for the transfer of the player. This is different from a buy-back clause because usually with a first refusal clause, the selling club retains the power to decide whether to sell the player or not. Typically, a buy-back clause automatically triggers the transfer of the player should specific contractual conditions be met. In practice, the selling club will not have any way of refusing the buy-back offer if the clause is intended to be an automatic trigger and it is drafted appropriately.
