Chelsea Transfers

Yep, it’s off. We probably tried to offer some small upfront amount and Benfica stood firm. 

We bottled it.

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

Alvarez on deadline day it is.

Wow. 

Lose out on Enzo and get battered Thursday will result in a lot of toxicity within the fanbase and at the Bridge. 

If the board fail to get Enzo after the Raphinha and Koudne sagas..... there could be alot of noise towards the ownership being incompetent.

We will have to stay level headed and start to look at Mac Allister.... Ceceido.... that Koune fella from the French League. Whatever happens... we need midfielders and fast.

Who the fuck will believe in this project if this fails, the owner is a walking L.

That would be hugely embarrassing. Alvarez doesn’t have a tenth of the ability and class that Enzo has.

[Costa19 858]

And meantime we are bottling Enzo, City is snapping up the next Argentinian star midfielder for pennies.

We are so far behind already and will be for a couple of years..

Update Enzo: Chelsea is not flexible in terms of payment and Benfica also does not accept less than it asks. Rui Costa sees no benefits from selling Enzo on installments for now. Benfica intends to advance against Chelsea for having made the player's head with promises and dreams. It is not Chelsea that retreats, it is Benfica that was intransigent in the way it negotiated the player's pass. Rui Costa only accepted the clause outright. Chelsea was also not flexible and the deal should even fall through in the next few hours.

-Jorge, from transfers

 

What an absolute car crash of an owner says something after changes stance just to piss the selling team. I'm fucking done with football this season.

Lol this fraud

We've foiled our position. Brighton now know how much we have to spend so they will up their asking price on both Mac Allister and Caicedo. This is worse than when we failed to lure Dembele, Raphinha, De Ligt, Skriniar, Kimpembe, Lewandowski, Gnabry, Sane, etc. because Enzo actually wants to join us but we are toying with the asking price. 

This, in every sense, is a calamity of business operations and I for one am losing every remaining ounce of optimism I have under Boehly's rule. 

[Pizy 18,368]

Would be really rotten if you get the players hopes up, convince him to join, and then balk at the last minute at paying the release clause.

Any other midfielder we may sign from here is a pretty substantial downgrade on Enzo. None of Alvarez, Caicedo, or Rice (in the summer) offers the complete package. 

[TheHulk 1,855]

CMTV is even saying that Enzo is disappointed with Chelsea because they promised him that they would beat the clause

 

I'm sure many top players will come from here on when you make fake promises to them. He is lucky Nkunku even signed.

 

 

 

 

 

[DDA 9,690]

If this is indeed true about the Enzo deal...

 

Then I'm losing faith in the way Bohely operates.

This first transfer window was fair enough as he was inexperienced but this one is pure embarrassment. 

 

 

 

 

 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,477]

I am just stunned.

[TheHulk 1,855]

Chelsea went directly to talk to the player and the agent promised that they would break the clause, they spoke with Benfica to guarantee the same. But now that the player starts to force out they no longer want to pay.

 

 

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

Again, lose out on Enzo and get battered Thursday, I fear for the club. 

[DDA 9,690]

This is what happens when you let The fucking Americans come into our sport and perform clown acts. This is a circus routine happening in front of our very own eyes.

Problem being and fetching in a RB as they know it will be purely stop gap until RJ returns- if you are Dumfries your fucking barmy to come here knowing you will be surplus once the main man is back.

Dumfries is playing well at Inter, makes no sense for to be here if he wants to keep playing.

Dumfries is far from the only option. I have listed many others, for ages, for years. Yet nothing done. It is madness to rely on Azpi and then, if he cannot go, batshit cray things like RLC or Sterling as a RB.
