It's not the player but the club not willing to spend 80m. Say what you want but Chelsea got beaten by PSG to sign Hakimi.

This is proof that FFP is absolute bs and that we have no advantage when it comes to net spend. Teams like PSG and City can still spend a lot without any consequences. The fact that Ligue 1 had issues with TV deal money, and all the clubs are in crisis is a joke. Not only that but PSG didn't even win Ligue 1 and bottled the CL as well, yet they still have the money to splash 80m on a RWB.

It was not £80m, just to be fair (as most of us use pounds sterling for fees and wages (I personally try to put in both if euros are the primary article quotes)

PSG were demanding 80m euros

£68m

less than we offered years ago for Alex Sandro (Conte had a fit Juve played games, raising his price 4 times)

We still have Zappacosta....

Fuck PSG and fuck Hakimi and the horses they rode in on

in this case

many things

he always wanted to go to PSG after he left Real

Paris trumps London for many (Hakimi speaks French too) especially many WAGS who are not English

They have bigger stars than us (or will for sure as they are loading up and especially we miss out on Håland and they keep Mbappe, and I am sure they also make a move for Håland next summer if he is available)

huge salary (probably bigger than what we offered)

Ziyech helped wreck up shit

our stadium sucks, they are dropping hundreds of millions on renovations (and sometime down perhaps they buld a brand new one, althoigh that is not for years, likely after he is gone I might think)

he probably favours PSG's style of play over our more pragmatic one as well

I doubt that is a valid reason. Juventus stadium its also small, for example.

but yeah we need to increase the capacity. plus 10000 steats for ex

[Mário César 1,071]

since roman arrived, just Barcelona and Real Madrid won more UCL than us. We won 2 times just like Liverpool and Bayern (!!!) and reach 3 times the final. we are o the top of the tops and hurt to see the players prefer others teams 😕

There's some news to rebuild the stadium?

[Pizy 18,552]

Not a single player in world football gives a toss about what our stadium is like. Zero.

Might some players be attracted by the prospect of being able to play at Anfield or the Bernabeu etc? Definitely. Will a player decide not to come to Chelsea because our stadium sucks (which it doesn’t, btw)? Hell no.

A French speaking player choosing PSG over us shouldn’t be anything to slaughter our club for. He goes to a glamorous French city, will probably make double in wages than we’ve offered, and gets to basically sleepwalk to the title next season with minimal fuss. You can see why that would be attractive.

Nothing applies the same to Jerry Jones. AT&T stadium can hold up to 105,000 people. Parking for a regular game cost $80 and when they hosted the Super Bowl they charged $900 for just parking.

That is outrageous, no way would UEFA/A club get away with that in Europe.

Well tbh, this makes sense. Get an agreement with the agent/player and allow PSG to negotiate the price. At that point we can match it or walk. Tbh, we work best when we just meet fees. When we negotiate it always seems to either take forever or we don't get it done. 

As for Di Marzio, he talks pure BS. Anyone putting any stock in his tweets are being silly. He may get it right, but that will be due to him guessing, he doesn't know squat.

Is he though? Di Marzio is basically the most reliable journo for Italian football, he had a huge connections at there. Even reliable Inter journo also reporting Hakimi to PSG.

no, we either will build a new one or do nothing of any remote import

and do nothing is winning as long as the Home Office denies Roman a visa
