Chelsea Transfers

[Strike 7,478]

Di Marzio saying the offer is 18m pounds now. This is on the higher side but it is going to be a lot cheaper than going into the market for an alternative on the same level

Simon Johnson says it’s not looking like.y as of yet…

If we actually bottle a world class keeper over a few million pounds I’m gonna be sick. Even at £25m he’s a bargain.

This the same Cherki we all were wary off given how notoriously lazy he is? 

He's the modern day Ben Afra/Nasri. The talent is there in boatloads, but his application is the issue. Pep might be able to sort that side of his game out & get a De Bruyne replacement in the process.

Maignan update: Sources close to AC Milan now say they want more than £18m that Chelsea bid. Contacts will continue tomorrow morning. (@86_longo)

I swear Italian clubs are the most annoying to deal with. This reminds me of dealing with Napoli.

Anyone who has seen my posts about Sanchez knows I am not a fan. But equally fuck Milan. If I were the board I would just roll into the CWC with our current set of GK's and tell them we'll take Mike next year on a free like Madrid would do. 

If they came back I would say £18m but you buy Jorgensen for £17m.

We are partially to blame. How many times have we loaned players to Italian clubs for peanuts with no obligations?

Stop doing business with them unless it's in our favour.

True. But you’d think after we worked smoothly with them with numerous sales recently they’d be willing to make this a smooth process for a player out of contract in a year and has told them in no uncertain terms that he wants out. 

I could understand them playing hardball if he had 3 years on his contract or something.

I'm sure Allegri's appointment is playing a part. He probably had hope that working with him again might change his mind. Felix deal should have been enough of an indicator for current management, tbh.

As others have reported, clubs know we have at deadline, and they are trying to take advantage any way possible. If we don't get this done for the CWC, the club should walk away.

Just pay the fucking extra few Mill you tight ass wankers.

We know Italian clubs are cheeky bastards with the way they conduct their business. It’s not going to change for our sake.

For sake of the £3-5m more it would likely take to close this deal…

Not too confident? Are we seriously haggling over pennies for a player that is no doubt at the calibre of what we need, in a key position, that we have needed a reliable player in for multiple years….. just because he is over 30 (what other reason would there be)?

Who’d of thought after spending more than £1.5bn, severely overpaying on a huge % of transfers under this ownership group that aren’t or weren’t worth that fee or needed at all, we’d finally go the polar opposite way… un fucking believable 😂

[Pizy 18,861]

Yeah, haggling over a million here and there for a player that would cost a maximum of just over £20m is unbelievable. 

We spent that on the kid from Villa who will never be seen or heard from again, ffs.
