Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 2 hours ago, Sevillista said: I don't know if they are rumors or not. I tell you the only reality. Sevilla FC is a selling club. He is open to selling his player on his terms. The one who sells sets the price. I have seen many fans of your club celebrate as a title that Marina could sign Kounde for 50. If you do not understand that presenting an offer of 50 is laughable, you have a problem. Sevilla FC turned down two offers from Manchester City last year. I leave you a link where you can read the two offers. In the end, City decided to sign Rube Dias from Benfica for 60 + Otamendi. https://www.larazon.es/laotraliga/20200923/76dnvj2wqfbnrkrg6a2w4s72le.html Now it is impossible to sell. Sevilla simply send your club to pay the clause if you want the player. As happened with the City you can retire and the player stays. Greetings Not really....we are Chelsea, we don't give a fuck how much we pay for some inferior player. I understand you can't tell the difference between that and celebrating an actual title. But other than your club, we have recently won a couple and trust me those celebrations were quite different. Also why should reliable outlets make up that verbal agreement? Let's take your position for a moment and not believe anything we read in the media and there is no deal on the cards for the midget. What business you have here then? bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Why on earth would we sell Zouma before any Koundé deal was also sealed and signed simultaneously? 😑😑😑 If you’d have told us at the start of the window that we’d only make 1 signing I don’t think anyone would’ve believed it.

Vesper 30,225 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Chelsea deal for Kounde looks over https://theathletic.com/2796473/2021/08/30/ornstein-edwards-expected-to-leave-liverpool-kounde-Chelsea-deal-unlikely-arsenal-lose-coach-garry/ Chelsea have halted their proposed signing of defender Jules Kounde and are not expected to resurrect the deal unless Sevilla reduce their asking price. The France international looked certain to be the next expensive arrival at Stamford Bridge following the £98.5 million acquisition of Romelu Lukaku. As The Athletic revealed in July, Chelsea have been pursuing the centre-back for two years and were pushing to get a deal done this summer. Sources have also revealed how coach Thomas Tuchel has been talking about his potential arrival with members of the senior squad. But in a dramatic turn of events, Chelsea have decided to stop their pursuit because Sevilla suddenly increased the asking price. It is believed Chelsea thought they had a verbal agreement already in place over the fee, but the La Liga club are now said to be requesting €15 million (around £12.8 million) more than was originally discussed. Chelsea have opted not to increase their offer and, if Sevilla do not lower their demands, are set to stick with their existing options, possibly with the proviso of addressing the situation in January.

True enough but still, its a position we are weaker in now with the sale of Kurt, even if he isn’t the best player out there. Chalobahs done well but we have to expect that he is not the finished article and may have games in midfield also this season if we don’t go for a midfielder.

chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Well if Sevilla gave us a deadline of when the verbal agreement lasts until, then thats on us. But if they didnt then thats a pretty dodgy thing for them to do. But we'll probably never know... Also if we dont get a CB then we need a CM, we cannot go without both.

Jype 6,398 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Blues Forever said: I don't mind missing out on Kounde, but we do need another CB since we already sold Zouma. Trevoh Chalobah looks set to stay so we have already replaced Zouma. Having five CBs for three places in the team wasn't a problem last season so I don't see it becoming a big issue now either if Kounde can't be signed. I'd happily take Kounde if a deal can be done with reasonable prices because it's always good to prepare for the future as well, but I don't think it's a must-have signing. Maybe not getting Kounde now when he's available will come back to bite us later if he goes to another club (ie. Real Madrid) next year and becomes one of the best in the world for the next decade but for the current season I don't see much of a difference whether he's signed or not.

Makes no sense. While missing out on Koundé this summer isn’t devastating, the problem now will be that if he has another great season in Spain many other top clubs will be back in for him this time next year. We had a free run at him this summer and he was apparently extremely keen on coming here. We’ll probably be targeting Rice who will cost £100m so we won’t have money to spend on him next summer. This is why getting him in early right now made sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an ideal amount of depth for a long season and one more would be preferable, whether it's additional wing-back cover or another CB. Looking at the Wolves game last night I really wouldn't mind having Adama Traore as RWB. Shit end product but his pace and dribbling ability is insane, I could see him flourishing as RWB in Tuchel's system.

Esp if we let CHO leave on loan, we might be forced ot use RJ as RWB only and Azpi there more as well. In general I am not too worried about quality due to the versatility of our players but it is a long ass season so we do need the numbers.
