Sounds like the fee for Kovacic is about 30M

I would’ve been super down and depressed a year ago about Gvardiol going to City after we got so close to buying him. But now that we’ve got two 20 year old left footed CB’s with sky high potential and a perfect coach to help them reach that potential I don’t care at all.

Colwill in particular can become one of the best CB’s in the world.

It's just a shame that Gvardiol - Dias - Ake/Stones is miles ahead of Colwill - Badiashile - Fofana.    That Fofana transfer fee will go down in history as one of the worst PL transfers.

Kova is a player we should have 0 regrets about. We got him when we needed legs desperately and for a reasonable price. He gave us his absolute prime years. And now we essentially get a refund. 
The only one who should have regrets is kova himself bc he never built any momentum to become the player he should have despite getting all the chances here.
He is still very similar to the player he was at 21. Never got consistently world class at anything other than dribbling and close control even though he had all the tools in terms of natural technical talent. 
 

While every single major departure is reasonable on its own and not worth shedding any tears about what is worrying is the overall trend. Mount, Havertz, kova all were here long enough, loved by the fans that one would have been forgiven for presuming they had built a special bond with the club. The bond the Lampard, JT, Drogs, Cech generation had. The bond even late joiners like Cesc, Giroud and Ballack referred to. The bond that made them stay even when times were stormy and the club under fire from all sides. 
Maybe it’s just circumstantial, individual decisions coming together or a generational thing. However, it could very well also be that Boehly and the other duds already changed so much that not only has the club been missing that ruthless winners mentality since but also that familiar supportive atmosphere of the previous era.

I still maintain that Fofana will be a great signing. A much lighter fixture list this season and better coaching should be a huge benefit to him. Being able to stay fresher and fitter and actually play a long run of games in a settled team could see him realize his talent.

Definitely not giving up on him.

Apparently Arse also want Lavia. They’re after pretty much all the same midfield targets we are. So it’s probably going to be difficult to get him to choose us when they can offer UCL football this coming season and seem so much more willing to splash huge money now.

Rice is absolute toilet , just because arsenal want to spend a fortune on him doesn’t mean they need to overcharge for caicedo ffs

Telegraph says Chelsea have asked West Ham to wait as they try and offload players.

Sell them Gallagher as part of the deal so overall net spent is lower and we also gain a HG player while losing one so that’s a wash

[Mário César 1,249]

100M pounds for caicedo?

wtf its a lot of money
