OneMoSalah 9,112 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Yeah us negotiating with Benfica… its more than likely going to be either pay the release clause or fuck off. As it always was when we tried last time and usually is with Portuguese clubs. I don’t see us offering say £90-100m over the spread of a long contract. And even if we did, are they really going to be inclined to accept it when the release clause is still £106m? After the initial pursuit at the beginning of the month? It makes no sense for them to take a lesser deal or a deal thats structured in a way to make it more beneficial for us than for them. Even more so when they know they will get that £106m release clause in the summer as more clubs will be better placed to make such moves. I think for sure Real Madrid, Man City, Liverpool will all be in the market for a statement signing in the summer and I think MFers such as Bellingham and Enzo will top most lists.

Special Juan 28,827 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Ben Jacobs saying we still hope Benfica will soften on our approach. We are going to test them again, he still wants the move but their stance is release clause or nothing. Big bids for both Caicedo and Enzo can't be ruled outand we don't consider this window closed after the Mudryk signing. Chelsea haven't given up on either Enzo or Caicedo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will gladly accept a lesser fee than we demanded before now when there is only a couple of days left” Edited January 23, 2023 by Costa19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is the release clause active for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With who we currently have and who is coming, there is no room for Gordon, and the other mentioned, I would keep Jorginho on the decline first.

Yeah, Onana at least makes some sense as he’s the type of player we need. Don’t think he’s nearly Chelsea quality, though. The Gordon ship should have LONG since sailed. It would’ve been a poor signing (that I actually reluctantly thought would be decent at the time) in the summer but now makes less than zero sense. We’ve just signed two vastly superior wingers and I wouldn’t even have him over any of the underperforming ones we already had. Hopefully we don’t panic at the deadline and sign some average jokers who aren’t anywhere near the required standard. Hamilton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,976 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 One thing about this transfer window that gives me hope is that we are looking at absolute ballers!! Even with us in 10th, they are still wanting to come. I would love to know the "project pitch" they are giving these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we sold Pulisic and Ziyech we’d still have Sterling, Mudryk, Madueke, and CHO on our books. I’d rather bring CHO back than spend silly money on Gordon. Even the idea that he could be turned into a wingback makes no sense as we’re after Gusto who is a natural at the position and is way better than Gordon.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Still, Onana is only 21, could use someone with his strength en power, would give us options. Not our lvl yet, but has potential imo Vesper and Fernando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,319 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 This is pathetic 🤣🤣🤣 A smart business group finds a clever way of using the established rules to their advantage, a bunch of rival clubs around Europe who weren’t savvy enough to think of it themselves complain to UEFA that Chelsea are ruining everything, and now UEFA is changing the rules.
