Does Facundo translate to “fucking?”

We’re signing a dude named Fucking Goodnight?

Stylish deadline day signing for sure.

Let's go for Buongiorno from Napoli and Buendia from Villa and - call it a day.

Need to offer Bayern 'Buy one, get the second Half Price' on George, Jackson along with Sterling, Chilwell, Disaster etc 

If George had the raw talent of Hudson-Odoi, Bayern would have been all over him by now 😆

I'd be surprised if Sterling isn't at West Ham or Fulham on deadline day as a loan with us covering 80% of his crazy wages.

🚨 Chelsea have not ruled out making a move for Fermin Lopez, even after Buonanotte. 

Enzo Maresca has spoke to the player. 

Chelsea could yet proceed if Fermin becomes open to the move.  (@JacobsBen) #CFC.

 

Chelsea and Barca are both waiting to see what Fermin Lopez wants to do. In Spain, the media said he would release a statement on Friday clarifying his future but he didn't do that, let's see what happens on Saturday. (@FabrizioRomano) #CFC

EXCL: Nicolas Jackson to Bayern, here we go! Deal agreed with Chelsea on initial loan move.

€15m loan fee for one season plus buy option clause not mandatory for €80m package and sell-on clause.

Jackson, set to fly to Bavaria with his agent Ali Barat from Epic Sports.

I do not understand that kind of deal but the loan fee is crazy. Loans without obligations are so frustrating. Cannot see Nico doing much there with his disciplinary record and his offside appetite.

[NikkiCFC 8,346]

59 hours left to get rid of Disasi, Chilwell, Sterling, George and Fofana. 

Overall we did amazing is sales.

If he does well it makes it easier to sell him, plus 15 mill loan fee is nuts lol 

[iceboy 1,020]

We are all set then.

[mkh 608]

Wow.   That is a crazy loan fee for 1 season.  

I was still expecting a late loan offer from Aston Villa so that he could be reunited with Emery. 

[erinblue 27]

Hopefully the deal excludes him from playing against us in champ lge..... could come back to haunt us!!.......🤨

I guess for Bayern it doesn't really matter, they just got a decent rotation option for their attack for 15 million.  

They were after Nkunku but didn't want to pay 35 million for him.

Good money for a loan but still think unless we are getting a replacement, we could have kept him. Especially without obligation.  Would have preferred he stayed. Especially with all the games we have this season.

I can confirm that Bayern’s deal for Nicolas Jackson is one of the most expensive loan transfers in football history, and internally both at Bayern and Chelsea the expectation is that the cost will rise to €22.5 million once performance bonuses are met, targets so light that they are essentially guaranteed. To top it off, the agreement includes an €83.5 million buy option and a sell-on clause in Chelsea’s favour, structured in the same way as the clause Bayern assured their counterparts in the Luis Díaz deal with Liverpool, which many doubted until it proved true.

The structure of the transfer goes even further. Bayern not only agreed to cover Jackson’s full salary, they also handed him a single-digit signing fee simply for accepting the loan move, something unprecedented in European football for a temporary deal. To make the finances work, Bayern sold Paul Wanner to PSV for €15 million, a move presented publicly as part of a youth strategy but in reality a financial necessity, since without that cash injection the supervisory board would never have signed off on the transfer.

Chelsea, who were more than willing to let Jackson leave, have transformed a squad player into a historic cash machine. The English club even forced Bayern to accept a penalty clause worth around €7.5 million, obliging them to pay more if the €83.5 million buy option is not exercised. The effect is to leave Bayern boxed into a lose-lose outcome. If we add the penalty clause to the loan fee, the signing bonus, the performance add-ons and the full salary, the total cost of a single season of Nicolas Jackson in Munich will approach €50 million.

In Munich the deal is presented as ambition, yet in reality it is nothing more than desperation dressed up as strategy. Paul Wanner, one of the brightest youth prospects, was sacrificed. Bayern sanctioned a record loan and even handed an unprecedented signing fee to a loanee, all to save face in a failing window. Chelsea will invest the windfall into their future, while Bayern have cut into their own to finance a single season of panic.

From market leader to market victim, Bayern’s decline is now written into contracts, line by line, clause by clause.

Chelsea forward David Datro Fofana is a target for as many as four Championship clubs on loan and for three European sides in a permanent deal before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Need someone else in, Facundo aside I hope we push for Lopez or another

I doubt we will sign someone. 

[milka 3,393]

Obviously that saga around Simons was smoke screen for Garnacho there is no way when Chelsea knock on the door not to take you . Anyway Fermin is better option .

[Pizy 18,966]

So basically we have to hope that Jackson absolutely crushes it there. If he does and Bayern still decide not to trigger the clause at least he’ll have advertised himself for other top clubs.

But we still aren’t sure whether a loan is enough for us to make one last big move before the window closes. I’m guessing not.
