which player?

It looks like Sporting will accept our bid. We are going to submit a new bid to Juve for de Ligt that Bayren has already said they will not match and Juve has said de Ligt  is leaving. Always the chance Sterling concludes. Chelsea want to finish one or two signings before the team leaves for pre-season this weekend.

Chelsea could raise their offer for Matthijs de Ligt in the next few hours. Meanwhile, Bayern are unwilling to match any offers made by Chelsea and are working on an agreement with De Ligt instead. 

[Mário César 1,232]

well well well

if our proposal is much bigger than bayern, no way juve let him go to them

and I don't believe that they will wait one year for MDL

Sterling, Raphinha, Nunes and De Ligt all announced in a "blow the doors off" press conference would be a pretty amazing introduction from Boehly....a man can dream

'OK guys, lets keep the fans happy with rumours'

The dumbest thing about some of these players we’re linked with is that they should be pretty straightforward and easy.

Take Sterling for example. Everyone knows he wants to leave City, everyone knows he wants to come to Chelsea, City are said to be perfectly willing to let him go, and all credible sources have put forward a price that is widely thought acceptable to City. So why isn’t that deal done yet?

Likewise, Koundé. We’ve known for like a year what Sevilla want, the player wants out, Sevilla themselves have been openly stating that he can go, and we desperately need CB’s. Again, how is a deal for him not done and dusted?

Some of the bigger deals like De Ligt are understandably taking longer but Sterling has no other suitors but us…

The kit launch was supposed to be today (the club has already put up some of the boards to promote it out and around Stamford Bridge), but it's apparently been delayed until tomorrow now.

There's been talk for a while that they've kept pushing back the kit launch as they'd like it to be alongside a new signing so delaying it a further day might suggest there is something close to being done.

If this is true the safe money would be on Sterling as there's been reports for a few days now the deal is as good as done. Sterling I believe has been back to Jamaica which is why things might have gone a bit quiet with it.

Sterling - This is probably just ironing out the wages/bonuses. Sterling knows he can wait a year then go on a free and essentially pick up a large proportion of his market value as a signing on fee. He is also a high earner and we know we have difficulty within the squad with wages as those on lower wages aren't happy that some underperforming players are on more. This issue cost us Rudiger and we have James and Mason that need renewing asap. We need to get that package right which isn't probably what Sterling wants. 

That deal may be easy from a club to club agreement but I wouldn't say it is from the wages and squad dynamics perspective. 

Kounde - Appears to me he was a target for the previous board and he has now dropped down the pecking order. Additionally Seville are right 🔔's so making them wait until later in the window (I think they probably need to sell him) is a more logical thing to do as there isn't anyone else out there that can afford him who want him. 

Additionally, MDL is looking like the principal priority right now, so focus is on him.

Its like Johnson throwing red meat to Northerners - all bollocks so far

Barca is changing their script now that the financials of de Jong’s contract has been released which shows why he doesn’t want to join Man Utd. Barca owes him €73m in wages for the next four years that he deferred because of covid and he intends to make them pay him.
