It's worth it. Kounde, Haaland, Tchoualmeni and Lacroix this summer. Extend Christensen. We get transfer ban but who cares? We don't need to buy next 2 years. 

nah we just do a mancity and hide the mails until the offence we are sued with is time-barred.

We’ve seen everything from £130-£200m thrown around by everyone and their dog. Tiresome and it’s a real shame. Great fit for us.

€150m on the barrelhead (that is Dortmund's cut) and they would sell. But we also have to pay the cunt Mino and also Håland's father. So it would take around €200m in toto. Plus a monster salary, and finally, that fucking escape hatch clause.

I just don't see it happening.

Worth it still. Better than seeing him reunited with Sancho in Manchester next summer for a third of the price and haunting us for a decade.

I would choose West Ham if I were him. His game is tailor-made for the EPL and the way West Ham play. He stays in London and is a sure starter for a team that has Euro footie.

Kurt Zouma could scupper Chelsea’s chances of signing Jules Kounde - with the defender not keen on a move to Sevilla. The Blues are said to have offered Zouma as part of their £50million deal to sign the La Liga centre-back.

For Lukaku there is only Inter: Chelsea's attack rejected

The Blues probe the center forward: salary of over 10 million. Attempt rejected, the Belgian wants to stay with the Nerazzurri

https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Inter/29-07-2021/serie-a-inter-lukaku-dice-no-Chelsea-4103134587712.shtml?cmpid=shortener_036b7450ip

The phone rang, and how it did if it did. After all, they still keep Lukaku's number in London, they haven't cancelled it. Romelu listened. He thanked that Chelsea who brought him to England in 2011. And he politely said no. Door closed, there is only Inter. It is the story of an offer, much more than a poll, received by the center forward. The proposal has arrived, direct and indirect signals tell this. The London club is looking for a center forward: the assault on Erling Haaland has not been successful, at least for the moment. And in the very limited notebook of the Blues there is obviously also the name of Lukaku. This explains the lunge attempt, with a double-digit salary, over 10 million per season. However, this attempt was immediately rejected in the bud by Romelu.

 

TWO REASONS

Lukaku has no plans to leave Milan. He delivered the message to Chelsea, he also communicated it to Inter. The fact that he reiterated it even in the last few hours, after the first fruitful chats with Simone Inzaghi at the end of May, immediately after Antonio Conte's farewell, is the best possible sign for the Nerazzurri. There are at least two reasons behind this stance of the center forward. The first, the most important: Romelu, in addition to being happy in Milan, is grateful to the club that two years ago, these days, took him away from the Manchester United nightmare and from a championship in which he had entered a dead end tunnel, effectively blocking his career growth. The second reason: between Lukaku and the Premier there may no longer be a future. Because the return to England does not stimulate Romelu in absolute terms, he is not fascinated by the idea of returning to where he has already been, not even if he were to do so as a winner, as it would be in this case. In short, there is no strong motivational drive that distances him from Inter and Appiano, even in the presence of an important economic offer, well over the 7.5 million euros plus bonus he currently earns.

So the club are gonna drop the asking price on Abraham because no one was willing to pay the 40m? lol

And how nice of us to "help" West Ham when they don't with Rice...

[NikkiCFC 8,369]

Pre Covid time we would easily get 80m pounds for Zouma and Abraham. Now more like 60m. 

[Pizy 18,985]

Until we see any evidence at all that we’re attempting to sign a new striker we should just all assume Tammy is staying. And so far we haven’t.

No Lukaku , No Haaland then go to him ...

Kounde looks like such a panic buy to me.

I really have a bad feeling about that game vs Villareal who have been training for this occasion for a months now and are so far ahead in their pre-season preparation with their starting XI given they only have 5 internationals.

[milka 3,395]

I dont see Kounde to be Chelsea player  today or tomorow  which means that this transfer will not be so easy  which will only increase the time and make us focus on some panic buy like  Phil Jones .

I'll do an account bet that we won't sign Phil Jones.

Deal?

How so?

Wasn't it reported a couple days ago by The Athletic (Simon Johnson) that the club have been extensively scouting Kounde for the last two years? 1-2 years ago there might still have been some doubts whether he's actually quality or just one of those players who had a good season and then faded into obscurity but he's kept his level and actually continued his development at Sevilla so it makes sense for the club to go for him now when another CB is needed. Also said on the article that Kounde is one of the players Tuchel put on his targets list for this window when he first joined the club in January, so if that's all true then it's pretty much the furthest away from a panic buy you can get.
