Regarding Gabigol my first thoughts were "oh no" but after looking at his page he seems to have a pretty decent goal return since going back home so maybe/hopefully Inter was a case of too much too soon.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/03/chelsea-jody-morris-frank-lampard-wilfried-zaha-timo-werner Sources close to Lampard have not ruled out the possibility of a bid for Zaha. The Palace winger favours a move to Stamford Bridge and is desperately seeking a new challenge. However Zaha’s contract runs until 2023 and Chelsea will think hard before deciding to meet Palace’s valuation, which is set at £80m. Lampard is also in the market for a defender but is yet to decide whether to trigger a buyback clause which will allow Chelsea to sign Nathan Aké for £40m, which is well below the Bournemouth defender’s market value. It is understood that Lampard has reservations about Ake, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Manchester City. Chelsea will look to shift some of their squad’s lesser lights in January. Danny Drinkwater’s loan at Burnley has been cut short and the midfielder is a loan target for Aston Villa, who are also interested in Michy Batshuayi. Villa need a forward after Wesley was ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury. Villa have been linked with Pedro, who is out of contract at the end of the season, while Olivier Giroud wants to leave Chelsea. Internazionale, Lyon, Palace and Bordeaux are interested in Giroud. However Inter have been put off by Chelsea’s asking price for the French striker and are also surprised by the Premier League club’s high valuation of Marcos Alonso, the Spanish left-back.

Vesper 30,178 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 6 hours ago, Tomo said: In my opinion. Grimaldo ≥ Telles. Re Zaha and Sancho if it's financially possible we should go all out for both. Grimaldo is 60m euros (£51m) and is 10cms shorter than Telles and nowhere near as good as passer yes he is 2 years 9 months younger, but he is almost 20m quid more we should have purchased Telles years ago, as soon as Juve triple fucked us on Alex Sandro. He is a massive upgrade over Alonso and Emerson, 50 assists in last 3 and a half years, including CL, almost double what Grimaldo has had If not Chilwell or Telles (and we can do BOTH if we sell Alonso and Emerson and stop fucking about with their prices, especially in regards to Marina and Roman being butthurt towards Inter due to Conte) for around 40m to 50m net total spend by summer. We are in real danger of missing out on Chilwell in the summer, as if Pep stays at Shitty, Chilwell has already said he would love to play for him, and Pep is (what a cunt, as he has spent a total of over 200m fucking quid there just since summer of 2017!) unhappy with all his fullbacks except for Walker finally there is ZERO chance we drop £200m (120m for Sancho, 80m for Zaha) on just 2 wingers in the next 8 months it isnt happening in fact if Chilwell goes for 80m, and not 60 or 70m, I can so see us taking a pass my nightmare is a combination of things resulting in us going forward until at least 2021 or 2022 with Emerson and Alonso at LB, with the madness of Azpi there at random times just for shits and giggles Werner is only in the conversation at CF because of his RC being crazy low we are so not going to drop 100m or so on him or Lautaro or Dybala the club lost almost 100m net last year all those shit buys, crazy salaries, idiotic loans, horrid contractual management, and poor sales (plus a run down, small, out of date stadium) and missing out on CL multiple times are coming home to roost the days of huge spends are well done and gone atm I became aware of this a couple months ago, via my father's sources (I posted on this at the time) the club is in loss containment and then back to wealth extraction mode they truly need to liquidate the dregs and are failing at that, and stubbornly once gain bollocksing up sales as well it is criminal what we have done over the years with just Alonso and Willian, who I can see us taking a total loss of £100-110m on (no joke, if Willian walks on a free and if Alonso is sold in his 30's (he is 30 in less than a year) for peanuts) in failed sales revenue combined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,178 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Chelsea boss Frank Lampard pulls plug on Wilfried Zaha transfer over dressing room concern https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1223726/Chelsea-transfer-news-Wilfried-Zaha-deal-snub-Frank-Lampard-dressing-room-gossip-update Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has pulled the plug on a transfer for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. The Blues manager has cooled on the Ivory Coast international because of his extortionate wage demands. Zaha is said to want a whopping £200,000-a-week to move to Stamford Bridge but there are concerns at how that would go down in the dressing room. Only two players currently in the first-team at Chelsea earn sums in that region – something Lampard is keen not to disrupt. Transfer expert Ian McGarry also believes it could impact ongoing contract negotiations with the likes of Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount if Zaha was paid the huge wages. He told Reach PLC’s Transfer Window Podcast: “They also had an interest in Crystal Palace’s left-sided attacking midfielder Wilfried Zaha, similar kind of player but 28. “I’m told that the wages Zaha is asking for Chelsea believe would upset their dressing room. “He wants in excess of £200,000-a-week. Currently there are only two players on that money at Chelsea which you may find surprising. snip Nicco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,178 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 counterpoint (although this agent linkage does not begin until summer 2020): Chelsea handed transfer boost as Wilfried Zaha 'links up with super agent' Zaha has reportedly signed up with agent Pini Zahavi, who has close links with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and others at the club https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-handed-transfer-boost-wilfried-21210636 Zaha served notice of his intention to split with his long-term agent Will Salthouse last September after failing to secure a move away from Palace, despite bids from both Arsenal and Everton . And the 27-year-old has now linked up with Israeli agent Zahavi, according to the Daily Mail - which should put Chelsea in the driving seat to sign him. Zahavi is believed to still be close to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, after helping the Russian close the deal to buy the club from Ken Bates 17 years ago. He is also believed to have good relationships with many other people at Chelsea. snip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool comes to mind. There have been rumors recently that they wanted Sancho. I expect United will be after him hard as well. There is no way pool is after Sancho. Imagine talking to your board,and say "I want 150m pound for Sancho so he can start 10 games for us" Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
