If either side had given up hope of getting what they wanted, there would have been nothing to negotiate for this long. If I had to guess, I'd say we're at the stage where Benfica are basically happy with what's been offered but are holding out for any bunce Chelsea might throw in. Chelsea meanwhile know that they just need to throw in a little something for Rui Costa's ego at the last minute, when he has no choice but to accept he is seeing Chelsea's last offer. At that point every body shakes hands, has a drink, then gets some sleep. Edited January 31, 2023 by OhForAGreavsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,237 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) It's getting close to being a dead deal, a fail, a no go. A massive part of the blame goes to those 5 SHIT summer deals, especially that £95m FAIL KK.... been raging about that for ages now), the insane total amount perhaps shit away on what really appears atm to be damaged goods Fofana, the ultra flop gutless POS Auba, and the £30m or so overpayment for a so far underwhelming CuCu. Sterling is still up in the air. FFS According to Portuguese TV station RTP, Chelsea target Enzo Fernández is set to stay at Benfica despite the Blues’ best efforts at acquiring the midfielder this winter transfer window.

Pizy 18,963 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Man, I’m fucking heated that we’ve sold Jorginho to the club I hate more than any other and are then going to get smacked again with Enzo. Now our already mediocre midfield gets worse, a hated rival’s gets a boost, and we miss out on our chance of ever getting a world class midfielder who’s apparently very keen on coming here.

Special Juan 28,156 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 A time to be angry is if we sell to Arsenal with J5 and don't secure Enzo and bring nobody in. Right now, it's calm, loads of time left Norfolkblue1961 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a show of strength and confidence, as well as a demonstration of loyalty to the players. Now that we are sending Arsenal player who might actually help them win the league however, I'm no longer feeling so fair minded. 🙂 Exactly OFAG - there's no way if the situation was reversed they'd let him come to us- especially at 12m.

It honestly seems like its just rinse and repeat of the same reports every 3 or 4 hrs 😂 I think its going to be a bad night.
