I mean, I was going absolutely ape in 2017 but that was a very different situation to now. 100% agree with everything here. What was going to be said in these talks? Chelsea: we want you Player: how much can you pay me Chelsea: no idea ask us again in 2 months when we know if we still going to be here. Player: like fuck.

Plus, Leading the Race FC doesn't know how to finalize deals. If we spend all our money on those two I have no problem. Quality instead of quantity. And no Lukaku was never quality. In theory for that money should have been Haaland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka 3,393 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Kounde has already agreed personal terms with Chelsea, which is two to three times more than what Barca could afford, ruling Barca out of the race. The agreement is a five-year deal, but Sevilla are still holding out for a fee between £51m-£55.9m. {ABC Sevilla} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I was going absolutely ape in 2017 but that was a very different situation to now. The people that are our main targets we have been speaking with both players and clubs since the last window. All these agents, players, and clubs have seen clubs get sold and know that it will happen. Chelsea had a valuation that was known to all. It is silly to think that our people were sitting on their hands waiting for the sale to happen. These are people that have been in the business world where companies are sold all the time. You keep doing your job and adjust to what the new owners want. It matters not knowing how much your transfer window budget is to find out what the player’s interest is, what their personal terms are, how much the club wants for the player, what structure the deal could be. If these people can’t communicate these items during a club being sold, they are not very good at their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Forever 1,232 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Barcelona could use Alejandro Balde in the negotiations with Chelsea for Azpilicueta and Alonso. Chelsea tried to sign Balde last summer and still interested with the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,438 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 6 hours ago, Superblue_1986 said: I think the bigger problem for us and United is stripping out the players we don't want at the club. Spurs need more depth anyway and City know that some of their players like Jesus, possibly Sterling will be in demand if they choose to move them on so can be confident with bringing players in first. It's easy enough to just go and splash out £150m on new signings but what happens if we can't move players on and we're stuck with them. I think the Lukaku transfer is a big one for the club. Getting clarity on our position with him, especially with his wages will I think help to make moves then in our attack. With Chelsea, very little information gets out. We're linked with anyone and everyone but ultimately if we're interested or negotiating with a player it rarely comes out early. I don't see why this would change with the new ownership so with that in mind, no one really knows where we're at with deals and negotiations for players. I'm not worried at present, I'm certain players will come in through the door over the transfer window. I'd like to get as much done as possible as early as possible and give new signings a pre season with the team but ultimately I also want the club to get the recruitment right starting this summer. Abramovich isn't just going to bail out bad signings anymore, it's imperative we hit the ball out the park with who we bring in. I can understand that reasoning for midfield and attacker positions. But we've known for months that we are going to lose two key center backs Surely the club would have eyed a replacement for a while now.

And what's more, what the hell are the board at Chelsea thinking if they don't demand a player included in the deal. We just paid £100m to these cheeky bastards. The Italians always maul Marina.

And I would assume selling clubs are aware of this too, making discussions potentially trickier. I would also assume that before the sanctions there was still optimism to get Rudiger signed up. Losing him means two starting centre backs now so targets may have changed as a results of this. Also it appears some players we're linked with such as De Ligt and the Inter defenders, we also have players potentially moving to these clubs which complicates discussions even further.

Well maybe not confirmed yet for Bissouma, but anyway And Tchou to Real, Boubacar Kamara to Villa on a free, plus Rüdiger did not wait, pulled the trigger, and left.

Pizy 18,897 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Arse are on the brink of signing some dude from Porto out of nowhere. Not a single link or rumor until he’s just about to sign. I’m hoping that’s what’s going on with us. That we’re just keeping things ultra quiet. But even if we were keeping the ship tight you’d expect the most reliable Chelsea insiders like Law and Ornstein to report things. We’ve heard nothing from either in regards to incomings.
