£70m for de Ligt is fair value

And if we needed only 1 new CB I think we’d probably pay that. But since we need 2 who will both be extremely pricey I doubt we will.

almost everything (including a tonne of Italian sites) says around £200K PW gross

BUT

from 3 years ago there is this

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/18/matthijs-de-ligt-joins-juventus-from-ajax-75m-deal

Juventus have confirmed the signing of Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax for a fee of €75m (£67.8m), with the 19-year-old defender agreeing a five-year contract worth a basic €16m (£14.5m) a season which could rise to €24m (£21.7m) with add-ons.

The full package could cost the Serie A champions €195m (£176.2m) and earn the teenager a potential weekly salary of €460,000 (£416,000) if all the add-ons are achieved.

De Ligt has been involved in a tug of war between Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus for most of the summer but the Turin club managed to convince the centre-back he would be better off joining them.

There is a buyout clause of €150m (£135.6m) included in the contract but that will not come into effect until June 2022.

 

 

someone is WAY fucking off, lol

as that article is more that DOUBLE (due to add-ons) what most all else says

I already said (in a previous comprehensive 'all buys needed' post) to just buy KK and Demiral  (2 for the price of one)

Broja, RLC + £40/50m for Rice

West Ham DESPERATELY need CMF's (they have none on the 25 man roster atm)

then we go balls deep for either Jesus or my preferred option, Osimhen (he is probably too expensive for this window, barring massive sales)

get Dembele in on free

Sterling in for like £40-45m (or Raphinha for the same)

sign Demiral before another team does (£30m or so)

buy KK (£30m or so)

and bring in 2 fullbacks on the cheap (one short term like that £8m 29, soon 30yo French RB Jonathan Clauss  (he will be good enough for 2 or maybe 3 seasons, enough to buy us time) and then LB David Raum (£25m or so)

sell the dregs and the ageing

forget the dwarf, KK and Demiral for the same price as just him is better value

here was that post

Feels like this same thing has been said a dozen times already. Tuchel promised this, Tuchel promised that, Chelsea will go big to back him, Boehly wants to close the gap to the top 2.

Yet nothing has actually happened yet. Feels like Matt Law tweeted this exact thing like a month ago.

[Vesper 30,143]

IF Arse pull both Jesus and Raphinha 

and we fail on both Dembele and Sterling

plus we (as he is the last truly viable option left) likely fail on Osimhen (the odds against us for him this summer are really high, it is almost pipe dream territory)

we are potentially in deep shit, barring some semi-miracles (Broja comes good in a huge way, and we somehow grab Gnabry and/or Christopher Nkunku)

 

many, many of the options in most positions are rapidly drying up

us failing on all 6 

Jesus

Raphinha 

Dembele

Sterling

Gnabry

Nkunku

especially if they end up coming to direct rivals

would be nightmarish

If all that happens we’d probably panic and sign Neymar 🤣🤣🤣

his salary alone precludes any of the Neymar talk (unless PSG suck up half of it, and why would they do that?)

Honestly if TT really wants Kounde, seeing all this Barca talk, we would make somekind of a move. Nothing so far...
