Superblue 6,372 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 2 minutes ago, xPetrCechx said: Or dembele or raphinha… but I don’t think Chelsea need to sign a player that don’t want to play here as his number 1 priority. Chelsea have signed plenty of players in the past where we might not have necessarily been first choice to the player and they've gone on to have successful careers here. I wouldn't look at Raphinha if we signed him and not want him because his preference was Barcelona. I'd be a little weary if he wanted to join Barca in the future and whether we'd end up with a sulky player on our hands but I think we'd get a bit of an idea of that by how this plays out. Ultimately, I think Barca are trying to keep their options open because they don't want to miss out on Dembele and Raphinha. They're trying to keep both open to ensure they have one. If our interest in both is indeed correct then we have some control over the situation currently - we may either get a free run at Dembele on a free from a strong negotiating position where he doesn't blister us with stupid wage demands, or we end up buying Raphinha for a price we appear happy to agree to pay.

No interest in players who would rather play elsewhere anyway. Hope Todd and the boys feel the same Fabregas wanted an Arsenal return. Drogba and Azpi wanted to stay at Marseille. If we only went for players who wanted us first and foremost we'd be lucky to stay in the top flight. bohops and OhForAGreavsie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 As I said only reason Barcelona are in the mix is because they are selling De jong to United. Now weather Leeds accept a lower fee is another thing. We should continue closing other targets as Raphina might drag another week or so.

Mário César 1,252 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I don't believe that Leeds refuse 70M (Chelsea) and accept 55M (barça) 15M is a lot to lose Fernando and xPetrCechx 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds will do well to replace his output as he's far and away their best player. I don't think they'll be too upset if he ended up staying. The saving grace for them is with the World Cup in the winter, Raphinha can hardly sulk too much or refuse to play and jeopardise his position in the national squad.

Pizy 18,903 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 9 minutes ago, Hermione said: Don't fucking buy Ake before we get him, also why would they buy him anyway he won't be a starter. As for United he isn't going to play in Europa League. He will if they pay him 250k a week. And I think he’d be fine with a year in the Europa League if he’s reunited with his former manager and some of his former teammates. This is why it’s imperative that if de Ligt is our first choice CB target we have to get it done quickly. Before United or even City turn their full attention away from their own primary targets to de Ligt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork 1,794 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 100m probably get us Koubabily and Skriniar, and they are both comfortably better than De ligt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,381 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think we need to walk away. We don't have time for this foolery when we need to build an entire squad before preseason. Set a deadline for Tomorrow and if not, void the contract and move on. Fuck him. Deal's off. Either Raphinha gets his improbable Barca move or he's stuck at Leeds for another season. ulsterchelsea, Hashishi and Johnnyeye 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,534 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Walk away. He doesn't want us and doesn't sound like he'll entertain a move here.
