Will see when the transfer market ends where we stand, so far I think she just struck gold with the pandemic last year and was just a one off, she is mostly average to terrible, lets wait and see maybe Hakimi was indeed remotely decided to join Paris but hard to think other factors didn't contribute to this.

Other factors may have contributed also that you aren't aware of. There are rumours that his wife wanted to go to Paris as part of her career as there was more opportunities for her there. I don't buy the Ziyech ones. It is not like he was exiled out the squad. I am pretty sure it is that he knows he walks into PSG team and also is receiving more money there than he would here. I wouldn't be surprised if he speaks French also.

We don't know what Chelsea offer to him...

Admittedly he was playing out of position as a fullback, but Kounde looked terrible for France the other day against Portugal. Everyone can have a poor game but I think he looked a bit out of his depth.

Kounde is an absolute no, no in the PL owing to his height alone.

I'm sure there's more to that. Not having to learn another language could be another reason (if he's fluent in French).

I find it funny when so many (not even saying I disagree) are so quickly ready to label someone 'Agent blah blah' (Rudiger with the other Germans for instance) when they are fellow citizens with players we are targeting, YET using that same logic, (ie players who are of same nationality, national teammates, and that are friends often talk) when reversed (ie. negative talking to when they do not like a manager or club) is dismissed out of hand as some conspiracy theory.

I also NEVER (I cannot speak for others) claimed that it was the only thing, or even the main reason that Hakimi is likely not coming. I made a list of the many reasons why and only 2 were focused on (and they were not the main ones). Perhaps Ziyech's negative experience, and then the stadium. The others were probably more important for sure than those two, but I would be remiss if I did not list every possible reason.

 

there obviously are issues going on

Robin van Persie criticises Thomas Tuchel’s use of Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech ahead of Champions League final

so I do not think it is beyond the pale to perhaps think that those two talked about the club, and if so, then it is deffo possible for Ziyech to have given off negative vibes (even if not DIRECTLY shitting on us)

and again, I never stated it was the main reason

£60m star wants to join Man Utd on £21m-a-year deal despite Chelsea offer

Raphael Varane wants to join Manchester United on a huge contract despite reported interest from Chelsea

https://football-talk.co.uk/164203/reports-60m-star-wants-to-join-man-utd-on-21m-a-year-deal-despite-Chelsea-offer/

Raphael Varane wants to join Manchester United on a mega £400,000-a-week deal after deciding to leave Real Madrid this summer, according to the Independent.

Varane has been at Madrid for 10 years having joined from Lyon in 2011 and has been one of the best centre-backs in Europe over the past few seasons. The Frenchman has made 360 appearances for Madrid and helped the Spanish giants win a whole host of honours including 4 Champions Leagues and 3 La Liga titles.

However, Varane’s future at the Bernabeu is in serious doubt as he has just one year remaining on his current contract and The Athletic reported earlier this week that the defender has snubbed an offer of a two-year extension.

Real Madrid are now increasingly resigned to losing the 28-year-old as they know they’ll have to cash-in this summer rather than risk losing him for nothing in 12 months time if he doesn’t sign a new deal soon.

The situation has alerted a number of Europe’s top clubs and the Mirror cite a report from the print version of Spanish newspaper ABC that claims Man Utd, Chelsea and PSG have all put forward offers to the defender.

Chelsea are reportedly in the market for another centre-back as Thomas Tuchel knows he needs a long-term replacement for Thiago Silva – who turns 37 this year – and it appears the Blues are keen on luring Varane to Stamford Bridge.

However, Chelsea could be set to miss out as the Independent claims Varane wants to join Manchester United after deciding it’s time to seek a new challenge away from Madrid at this stage in his career.

£400,000 a week ? No need of him, he can simply join man urinated.

AC Milan hope to reach an agreement with #Chelsea to sign Hakim Ziyech, Tiemoué Bakayoko and Olivier Giroud. This week there should be 'decisive talks' between Milan and Marina Granovskaia over these three players.

They'll want Giroud on a free and the others on a loan. That is how they roll.

Problem we've got is that everyone knows we have way too many players so know if they wait they can get some cheap loan deals. It wouldn't surprise me if the club wants to sell before we buy because of it.
