ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Im sensing this Lukaku deal will be done by end of the week the speed it is going. Or at least agreed Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,937 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Imagine the scenes if Kounde goes to Barca. Romelu to Inter for 5million. Dembele to PSG and Jesus to Arsenal. 😂 That would be a fantastic start to Bohelys reign. Laylabelle, Vesper and Fernando 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe not confirmed yet for Bissouma, but anyway Edited June 16, 2022 by Blue Armour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,695 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Do Barca know he is not out of contract and actually need to pay for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Barca aren't buying anyone for serious money. They're still fu*ked financially no way are they buying a €50m+ player. I mean it looks like they will have to sell FDJ to balance the books as they currently stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to sell De Jong if their majority of socios voted for economic levers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca have €1.3bn of debt and they're still up against the La Liga cap. That is also before you get to all the deferred payments they need to make to players. For instance, Pique is reportedly owed €80m over the next two seasons; which is why they're starting to brief against him in the press. This is also before we get to the fact that they still haven't registered AC because they don't have the means to do so just yet. If Bart man was still in charge, then sure Barca may have continued the crackhead antics. However, Laporta is much more sensible and will have Barca focus on more sound principals.

Yeah, all of their new signing depends on their socios voted in favour for economic levers. If their socios against it, Barca will sacrifice someone like De Jong to register the new players.

Superblue 6,372 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The Kounde situation does seem a little strange because the assumption is it's nailed on him joining us but from what it appears we haven't even opened negotiations with Sevilla for him so perhaps we're exploring other targets first. As I've mentioned before I don't mind Kounde if we're continuing a back 3 as I think his skillset could see him flourish in a system such as that. Less enthused about him in a back 4. However he's very expensive and there are a lot of potential options on the market for centre backs, so I wouldn't be disappointed if we were indeed looking elsewhere. With Juventus' reported interest in Jorginho and Emerson, I think the De Ligt interest is genuine and one to keep an eye on.

Pizy 18,897 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 City win the title while finishing 20 points ahead of us and work like maniacs early in the window signing player after player even though they already had a fantastic squad. Haaland and Alvarez with Kalvin Phillips and Cucarella soon to follow. Tottenham are close to finishing up their 2nd and 3rd signings. Meanwhile, you have ourselves and United who need the most work of any big clubs and neither have done anything. We’ve been working on Koundé for literally an entire years with nothing to show for it, ffs. And I don’t really think this has anything to do with the new owner. Wtf are Marina and the rest of the negotiators doing?! These aren’t hugely problematic £100m deals or ones for players with 3 years left on their contracts. Sevilla themselves have admitted that Koundé wants to go and that they will sell, Dembele is literally free, someone like Gnabry has 1 year left and has been agitating to leave, Koulibaly can reportedly go for a reasonable price. There are massive, gaping holes in our first XI and we’re moving with zero urgency whilst our direct rivals are. And after looking at the newly released fixtures for next season our start to the year looks extremely tricky. It’s imperative we have a settled and fully prepared team for match day 1 or we could get off the pace immediedtly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s imperative we have a settled and fully prepared team for match day 1 or we could get off the pace immediedtly. I think the bigger problem for us and United is stripping out the players we don't want at the club. Spurs need more depth anyway and City know that some of their players like Jesus, possibly Sterling will be in demand if they choose to move them on so can be confident with bringing players in first. It's easy enough to just go and splash out £150m on new signings but what happens if we can't move players on and we're stuck with them. I think the Lukaku transfer is a big one for the club. Getting clarity on our position with him, especially with his wages will I think help to make moves then in our attack. With Chelsea, very little information gets out. We're linked with anyone and everyone but ultimately if we're interested or negotiating with a player it rarely comes out early. I don't see why this would change with the new ownership so with that in mind, no one really knows where we're at with deals and negotiations for players. I'm not worried at present, I'm certain players will come in through the door over the transfer window. I'd like to get as much done as possible as early as possible and give new signings a pre season with the team but ultimately I also want the club to get the recruitment right starting this summer. Abramovich isn't just going to bail out bad signings anymore, it's imperative we hit the ball out the park with who we bring in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
