Just take it or leave it, we need time to look for someone else.

Yea, it's not happening. Ahhh I really thought I was going to wake up today to see him holding the Chelsea shirt up. Oh well. 

 

Who now then??

Will be a meltdown on here if it doesn’t happen for whatever reason and somebody else goes and signs Enzo in the summer 😂

I think this transfer this month has been built up as its now or never (as in January only) and I would totally agree that it’s that sense. We 100% won’t get a clean run at him in the summer and will be outside the CL spots undoubtedly so I don’t think he will move here come the summer.

We better hope there is a plan B, and has Jorginho officially moved to Arsenal or not?

The owners are so delusional think everyone knew 6 installments was to much from the get go, how about you offer something that's eye catching for them instead of this shit.

I don't suppose we will ever get to read the full facts of this negotiation, but would I love to see them. I simply do not believe that the structure of the payments matters a fig to Chelsea's owners. As @Vesper pointed out in an earlier post, the numbers being discussed are trivial amounts to them. All that matters is what fits, or doesn't fit, for FFP accounting. The clause, if formally triggered, means no FFP amortisation and that, we must infer from Chelsea's behaviour, means we would fail FFP. On the other hand, a 'standard' transfer, regardless of whether we pay it all up front, or in instalments, can be amortised for FFP accounting. The standard transfer, we must infer again, would mean that Chelsea can pass FFP.

Charlie's a decent player. Not I think a great one, but decent.

I'm picturing Todd's negotiation going like this so far...

They can't prevent us triggering the clause that is correct obviously.

What they can do, and I believe are (or were) doing, is to point out that a 'standard' transfer, even for an amount above the clause figure, can actually cost Chelsea less because of the tax implications. That is already better for The Blues, even without the advantage that comes from being able to amortise the accounting of a standard transfer fee for FFP reporting. They can argue that it would therefore be in Chelsea's interests to pay a higher figure specifically to avoid the clause, and they would be right.

This is what I believe is behind those reports which have claimed the we offered more than €120m. The latest number I've seen quoted (in this thread) is £115m, which is well north of €120m of course.

Yes, I  also said as much (about the taxes). Cheers

If we want someone else as a plan B, then we've already looked.
