I wonder if we can step up to a different bracket of player now that we’re receiving so much extra cash for our unwanted players. Maybe we really can go after the likes of Tonali & Barella instead of Onana & Lavia. 

I doubt if they will want to come to Chelsea and be sold off to Saudi in a years time!

Unfortunately, we'd probably be sanctioned by FFP if we pulled off Barella - Caicedo in the same transfer window as the other players we're trying to sign!

I officially have to change my favourite player now 😞

I think £25/30m for Kovacic is a steal. He is still in his 20s, a national team regular and oozes quality. Leicester got relegated and are quoting £50m for Barnes and Maddison and Maddison also has also 1 year left on his contract and they are quoting double the price. I think that is brilliant business for City tbh. We are short on CM as well. Struggled with injuries last season but on form, brilliant player to watch. Will miss him.

And that's why Leicester haven't received any real offers for either of them.   Every club out there knows that Barnes isn't worth 50 million, more like 25-30 million (on potential) and Maddison will also find it hard to move as the only 2 clubs being linked are Spurs/Newcastle....and they'll be looking for a bargain (similar reason as to why Raya hasn't joined Spurs as they want Brentford to lower the fee from 40 million).

why?

I just mean that it'll be a massive expense on the books to get both of them in...100 million for Barella, 80+ million for Caicedo, 30+ for Jackson and we still have to get a goalkeeper, Nkunku is another 60+ million.  

In terms of sales, Mount & Havertz will get us 100-110 million and the Saudi sales will probably get us 40 million.

As good as they are, I think tonali and barella are the exact type of player that will bomb in PL. their technique and vision would never come to full effect in packed PL  midfields where everyone gets a free studs up tackle and they won’t have as much time on the ball. Just look at how Tonali got absolutely shut down by Kovacic when our worst team in decades smacked Milan with ease twice last fall.

I’ll easily get over the losses of Mount, Jorginho, Kova, and Mendy. All very solid players for us but I don’t see any of them making us regret letting them go. But for some strange reason I feel like we’ll regret selling Kai to Arse specifically. If he was going to Bayern I wouldn’t be bothered in the least. But the thought of him realizing his potential in that shirt rubs me the wrong way.

Great price we’re getting, nice to get his massive wage off the books, but makes me feel uneasy.
