Superblue 6,372 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Given the circumstances that have transpired over the last couple of days, wouldn't be surprised if Kounde becomes an immediate favourite amongst the fanbase purely due to getting one over Barcelona. Seen the mock ups on social media of a Kounde version of Fabregas' magic hat song, mocking Barca. Wouldn't be surprised if something like that catches on at the Bridge.

Problematic attitude, massive salary and been shit since about 2018. I'd rather stick Kepa up front than sign Icardi. whats happening and Magic Lamps 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,195 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Spanish publication MARCA now claim that Barca felt ‘attacked’ by Chelsea due to the West Londoners’ financial muscle. The Blues cannot quite spend as heavily as they did under former owner Roman Abramovich, but new owner Todd Boehly has proved that he will make big transfer warchests available to Thomas Tuchel. fucking cunts🤬 Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just now, Mário César said: can anyone put the full article? Jules Kounde is set to become Chelsea’s third summer signing in a deal that could allow captain Cesar Azpilicueta to join Barcelona. Chelsea look to have beaten off competition from Barca for Kounde. They have agreed to pay Sevilla in the region of £55 million and have offered the defender a five-year contract. Having signed Raheem Sterling in a deal worth £50m and Kalidou Koulibaly for £34m, Chelsea’s new owners have now already committed £139m to new signings since taking over the club with more deals to follow. Barcelona president Joan Laporta appeared to concede defeat in the race to sign Kounde by telling a supporter in Las Vegas that the 23-year-old will move to Chelsea. The signing of Kounde will bring to an end a year-long pursuit of the player for Chelsea, who almost signed him last summer before Sevilla moved the goalposts on the transfer fee. Kounde had appeared to have slipped down the pecking order of Chelsea targets this year until Matthijs de Ligt preferred a move to Bayern Munich and Nathan Ake decided to stay at Manchester City. The arrival of Kounde will further strengthen the defensive options of head coach Thomas Tuchel, who has already signed Koulibaly from Napoli this summer. Koulibaly is in line to make his first Chelsea appearance in the club’s final game of their US tour against Arsenal in Orlando in the early hours of Sunday morning. Kounde can play on the right of a back three or at right wing-back, which will give Tuchel the option of also swapping Reece James between those two positions. Tuchel is still ideally hoping to sign a third defender this summer, with Paris St-Germain’s Presnel Kimpembe a target, and Kounde’s move could give Azpilicueta the green light to return to Spain with Barcelona. Azpilicueta is keen to leave Chelsea this summer, with Barca willing to give him a two-year contract. Tuchel and Chelsea had told the 32-year-old that he must wait to find out if the club could land their targets before making a firm decision on his future. Azpilicueta did not feature in Chelsea’s last friendly against Charlotte FC, despite making the trip to the US, and has not spoken on his future during the club’s tour. Other than trying to add another defender to his squad, Tuchel will reassess his forward options after missing out to Barcelona on Raphinha.
