Chelsea Transfers

what about sales?

Redknapp I think is saying this from a United perspective that it's Chelsea over United for De Jong.

The bigger question is whether De Jong would come here over staying at Barcelona.

Didn't sound to me like he was misrepresenting what he heard. It's only a matter of whether his ManU contact told him the truth.

Don't see any reason for Harry to lie, no skin in this for him.

I don’t think he’s lying, I just feel like he’s probably been reading the same stuff we have regarding De Jong preferring Chelsea. I doubt he’s got any inside info.

What a signing Cucurella is.

Then you do think he's lying. 😀

Exaggerating shall we say. Maybe getting a bit carried away since he’s speaking publicly and wanted to get people talking about him.

January window after Barca has treated him like crap.

Well more information will come out at some point and we might be able to gauge Redknapp's comments a bit better.

Meanwhile, I'm more excited about this potential transfer than any other so far this summer. I'd have been excited about a few that were mooted if I'd been able to convince myself they were real and the De Jong links have been in the same boat. Until now that is. Now, I admit that I can't help but hope based on Redknapp's comments.

Going to be incredibly difficult to pry him away from Leicester and you’d have to think if there’s any slim possibility we have to move quickly before Newcastle comes back in for Maddison for a third time. They won’t sell both. We need to offer a monster fee and we need a transfer request.

80millions pounds and he is our player

Couple of reports today that Leicester are trying to tie Maddison down to a new contract which would hopefully dispel such an issue.

I still think Fofana is going to be incredibly difficult, and like you said, I think it will hinge on just how much he pushes for this himself.

How do you move players out without getting rid of them ?

We will sign Wesley Fofana...

Going to be a fire sale surely with our excess players. By my count, we have the following that are knocking around the first team that need to go: 

Kepa

Baba

Sarr

Alonso

Emerson

Barkley

RLC

Ziyech

That is before you get to the likes of Pulisic and Werner who you have to believe want to leave.

Think what he means is that yes, some players will leave (I’m guessing Tielemans?) but that his very best players he wants to keep at all costs.

So now we wait to see if the club hierarchy can turn down gigantic money with the financial trouble they’re apparently in.
