Totally different cases: Matic, Jorginho were over 30yo when we sold them. Mata was way overrated. 🤷‍♂️

"Better" is to the eye of the beholder, but I suggest their valuations disagree with your assessment of them.

Mate if you consider Havertz a quality player yet Mata as overrated than this argument is redundant and I'm not wasting my time.

The sheer audacity of United offering £40m for Mount should be enough to stop all negotiations immediately.

Soo fucking cheeky.

Don't get me started on Lukaku. 

Absolute twat of a human being.

Agreed, agree to disagree.

Realize I did not say one is "better." Different roles, different players, different requirements, different characteristics. It's 11 players... not tennis, or even basketball where a team stops playing when their star player rests.

Rejections? Who have we actually bid for? I think we get Caicedo. Far too much noise from reputable people to not suggest we aren't favorites. 

We realistically need only 3 signings. 

 

Caicedo seemed PSG-bound the last time I had checked 😀 Maignan openly said he's not interested (not like we had picked Mendy over him a while ago), Skriniar one feet in PSG, Rice we had moaned around and about seem Arsenal-bound and I'm far from being blown away with idea of replacing our keepers with Onana for big money. No striker in sight as well, stil we seem to have quite a bit less of a pull for players, than PSG and Real, so we will have to do with what they will left on the table.

True but its not to say that Poch cannot take Mount on another level or get him back to playing as he did under Tuchel either. Its one of those where either we try it or we don’t.

Yes, Poch is the only reason why I wouldnt sell them instantly, in a hope that he can do some magic. The only condition being that we have enough money to buy a good GK, 1 or even 2 good midfielders and a clinical number 9. If we need to sell them to get the money for these players then I would sell without a doubt. But for me, Mount and Havertz are no starters. If we can afford to have them on the bench in the hope they improve under Poch, so be it, if not, get rid of them.

Or maybe a madman or king of evil.

TBH, no one other than Chelsea Football Club had caused this mess with it's own idiocy, so I even somewhat support him in trolling the shit out of position we had put him in.

yeah but then it's the time left in the contract.

Wonder if the club made a mistake here: should he be playing with no intention of renewing?

I've been noticing this lately. Clubs don't seem to force players out of the squad due to contracts running out anymore. Has something changed in the legislation around this maybe?

Lmao Mount, Kovacic, Gallagher, and Havertz all of a sudden within a fortnight are quality players because they are linked with rivals. 😂

We really are a shambolic fanbase. 

Always rated Kai. I think we could have used him better playing behind a striker

Its funny how none of the people, who made this deal, are here anymore but still u can see the aftermath of this disaster. Its like an earthquake were people still suffer after years it happened.

I don't believe those tier 7 Italian journalists that pretend they are part of the players entourage. So easy to write about us these days. The Rice ordeal as well. Don't believe it. 

We haven't officially bid for anyone yet.

We've tried that. He was ass.

A lot of players always tell us that 90% of twitter gossips are totally bs. In the end we should evaluate transfer activities by done deals, not rumours.

Word of Chelsea talking to Inter all week and Newcastle are getting a quality midfielder
