Comical. Gordon, auba. Can't wait for this season. Going to be an epic one.

Just scrolling across the scene on sky sports.

Chelsea are prepared to pay £60 + addons for Anthony Gordon...

if true fucking insanity.

This is what happen when we don't have a very experienced DoF.  Boehly just keep throwing a lot of money on unecessarry signings.

£50m would get you Pedro Neto...

Why Gordon?

[Blues Forever 1,232]

Milan hasn't received any official offer from Chelsea for Rafael Leao. Milan unlikely to sell him since they won't have time to find a replacement. The transfer will only happening if Chelsea decides to pay his €150m release clause.

Leao would come only for 100m£+ so it’s not a story next year maybe 

Surely no one would really pay that kind of money for Leao so that has to be just a notional price Milan might fantasize about. Good luck to them if they manage to get even half that but hopefully it won't be from us.

£60m on Anthony Gordon would be the worst transfer in football history. No exaggerating. Really, anything above £40m (becuase he is a huge talent, English, and coming from a desperate club who don’t want to sell) is psychotic.

For £60m a smart scouting team could go to other leagues and identify TWO young talents who could become great players.

£100m for Leão over £50m for Gordon any day. No point trying to penny pincher and ending up with some talentless scrub who will need replacing anyway

I don’t see it with this Leao guy, our next big forward signing should be Joao Felix.

Also what is going on with Fofana's height?

He is listed as 1,90 almost everywhere but looks clearly shorter than 1,88 Jonny evans in their pictures. Granted he was under 20 when the picture was taken so may still have grown a bit but hardly 5cm. Probably a case of height inflation to push transfer value... From personal experience, whenever you meet a footballer he is at least 2cm shorter than listed.

I think they get measured in their boots and if they have a haircut like Fofana's then they go from the top of that rather than where his scalp is, then round up. He is probably more like 185-186cm. That said, Southern European teams are particularly bad for this. Remember Kepa was meant to be 6'2" and K2 at one point was measured at 6'5"-6'6"  😂.

As for Fofana, we may be waiting here to see what happens with Kounde. Barca apprantly really struggling to get him registered now. They only have 8 days left.

Telegraph reporting the 60m (with add-ons) bid. Madness - for an unproven player

It's including addons.

Still too much anyway.

Wow, this is real isn't it? What on earth are they up to?

It is amazing we are not on this list.

Tuchel is basically putting his head on the chopping block if we sign Gordon for silly money. If he works out and kills it Tuchel will look like a genius. But if  he hand picks this kid and he flops after we spend £60m on him that’s sackable.
