Boehly man what kind of contract did you give him back then 😵‍💫🤯

[Special Juan 28,194]

If his desire to stay in Europe is as strong as his pay demands something has to give, and with us having other options in the pipeline I think he will drop his guard. He and his agent will know we can easily move on. Napoli need him gone, they cannot have him and Lukaku on their books so their desire to shift and shify quickly is paramount, and the only way he doesn't come here is if the Saudi troops do something mad.

Put it this way, if he's going to the Saudi League at just 25 years of age (and supposedly in the prime of his career), he'll just be remembered as a money hungry footballer. 

At least CR7, Benzema went after winning titles and achieving many records. 

Also, I wouldn't rule out a late late bid from Arsenal...remember, they're getting 30 mil for Eddie and I'm sure Arteta would love a proper striker up top with the team they have..

I'm not ruling out anyone mate, I full expect some last minute drama happening.

He was on the "old" deal with Boehly, probably similar to Fofana (CB).  

I think they stopped handing out ridiculous wages like 300k a week for the new signings...

Fofana pretending to be on the phone to skip past kid fans

hoards of special new fans saying it’s not deep 

Any other era and rightfully this would be highlighted and sorted to never happen again.

So he had "abdominal problems" on the 6th of February which doesn't caused him to miss any single game? Why is it there then? Also "muscle fatigue" for 5 days in August in offseason..

If we cut out these bullshit ones and the non reoccuring injuries such as Covid or cheekbone/head/shoulder then it's not a horrible record tbh.

Basically rocking back and forth in disbelief and pain that the club and fans as always go on a streak of sanity and then undo it with stupidity. I just assure with my life, it doesn’t take trained eyes to see Osi is far from a fit for how we play. Why do this. Why. Why. You throw away a load of money for when the ideal guy is finally clear, and take a flowing side and put a weird shape into it. I cannot get head around how people blindly trust PR and highlights after yrs yrs yrs yrs yrs yrs yrs watching the sport and knowing how angles work and don’t work. This is crazy.

I get what you are saying, but on paper Haaland was awful fit for city. A prolific goal scorer can fit any team. If Osi eventually comes we will se if he is one.

Why Chelsea are annoyed after ‘intense negotiations’ with Trevoh Chalobah this week

 

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/why-Chelsea-are-annoyed-after-intense-negotiations-with-trevoh-chalobah-this-week/

 

Trevoh Chalobah is running out of time to secure a move away from Chelsea after being frozen out of the first-team picture this summer.

For Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, he’s got until the summer transfer window closes this Friday to find himself a new club if he wants to be playing first-team football this season.

Many fans feel the 25-year-old centre-back is more than good enough to contribute to Enzo Maresca’s side, but he’s been isolated from the senior squad since the start of pre-season.

GiveMeSport recently reported that Chalobah is one of several players Chelsea want gone before the window shuts, but time is quickly running out to finalise summer deals.

It’s now been claimed that the club are infuriated after talks with the Englishman this week.

Chelsea frustrated after Trevoh Chalobah discussions this week

According to journalist Simon Phillips via Substack, Chelsea held ‘intense negotiations’ with Chalobah yesterday (Tuesday).

It is explained that the central defender has rejected all approaches from the clubs who have shown interest in him, namely Nottingham Forest, Atalanta, and Crystal Palace.

Apparently, this has annoyed Chelsea because they’ve accepted three different offers for Chalobah in the last seven days. They’ve firmly told the player that he won’t play senior football until January if he stays put.

Fingers crossed Trevoh Chalobah gets a move he wants

Chalobah is well within his rights to sit and wait for a suitable transfer to come along, especially because he’s still under contract until 2028. It’s understandable that Chelsea are frustrated when they’re trying to get the academy graduate out the exit doors, though.

It would be a gigantic shame if the centre-half stays put this summer and is resigned to months away from first-team football. When he was fit and firing at the back end of last season, he proved he’s a quality Premier League defender.

We’re surprised a big club hasn’t come in for Chalobah yet and sensed a great opportunity to snap up a quality player, so let’s see what happens in the final three days of the window.

If Sterling completes Manchester United transfer, he will become the first player in English football history to play for Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United, not even mentioning Chelsea with whom United have a competitive rivalry.

Something will give today with VO, I'm betting by late tonight we will have concrete info that we have either advanced the deal or have completely backed off and are on to other options. It's Wednesday now, talks today continue, after today tow days to get it over the line, that includes him coming to London so today is a big day for me

Hope so. Really don’t think it would be wise to let such a big deal in such an important position go to the final hours of the window. If anything happens and the deal collapses or PSG suddenly jump in and turn his head it would completely fuck us and we end up with nobody to pivot to.

So hopefully the club will have told Osimhen/his agent that we need a definitive answer today/tomorrow. If we can’t settle it by then we’ll have a little bit of time to go for Toney I guess.

Exactly, it's all about realistic time scales and there is not much time if we are changing tact.
