Kakuta set to sign 4 year deal

Good to see them negotiating Ivanovic's one too..

Would be great news to see Ivanovic & Kakuta sign tomorrow on the website (though I think that's a bit premature)

[Term-X 7,891]

Meh, It's simple..

Carlo likes older players, Kakuta won't play football matches.

Simple.

Seriously though, without debating. Gael is going to need a miracle, god help him in january when experienced players come in.

I feel for you the most, you (arguably more than anyone) had such high hopes for Kakuta to be star, unfortunately we may never see this come true =\

Let me rephrase that... Unfortunately we may never see this come true in a blues jersey...

Because we all know he will shine somewhere else...

£40,000-a-week for Kakuta

what a joke

what a joke

If this is true, congratulations! we've just been swindled (again)

Makes a mockery out of all the cost cutting measures during the summer and after that.

And I don't understand why people seem so desperate for him to stay. He isn't bigger than this club. Joe Cole couldn't bully us into a new deal after spending 7 years here and being a part of the most successful spell in our history, so why should he? Sure he's a talented youngster, and could become a star for us in the future, but we shouldn't be held to ransom by two 19 year olds. He hasn't lived up to his promise in the appearances he's made so far.

IMO Branna deserves a better deal than the reported 60k a week. Atleast he's proven himself to be one of the best defenders in Europe. Delighted he's close to signing. Bos next up please!

Madmax kakuta is a superb talent though, once he gets this contract out the way and he gets a few games and carlo lets him do what he wants on the pitch then he will fly trust me. In one ear he has got carlo telling him to keep it simple which is not his game try telling that to david silva. Then in another ear he has his agent trying to mind boggle a move to AC milan. Im still very sure he will break threw and be a stalwart in our side his raw ability which needs to be refined is just too advanced, that is why the club will offer a 19 year old with only a few agames under his belt a 40,000 a week deal.

[Badboy 1,526]

Why do people think AC Milan are chasing him, usually teams like psv or Fernabache would be chasing a 19 year old with very few games under his belt, AC have one of the best scouting departments in world football. People seem to lose faith so quickly, i remember the old Talkchelsea site were people were wanting us to swap Drogba for fucking John Hartson.

[Madmax 9,219]

Fair enough, i understand your points. But I still find that wage too high. I'd be delighted if he stays ofcourse, but I won't be devastated if he doesn't, and that goes for any player. Like Carlo said before, nobody is indispensable.

In another hand, when we have bought Sturridge we offered him a £60k-a-week deal, so somehow it's an improvement

I've done that rant before lol :

I'm shocked. £70,000 a week?!? Habadabadub dub dub!!! No wonder Kakuta and Borini turn down 18,000 a week.

[ack17 205]

The club made a bad example

If Kakuta deserved 40k per week, McEachran should deserve 80k per week

Look at the youngsters at Arsenal, Man Utd

Wilshere get 50k per week,

wtf kakuta is?

[Styles 9,790]

Chelsea sources yesterday confirmed a deal is "very close" as the Premier League champions are determined not to allow the French midfielder Kakuta to leave them for nothing. A four-year deal worth around £40,000-a-week is believed to be on the table.The club are also negotiating improved terms with the defender Ivanovic, who is wanted by European champions Internazionale and their Serie A rivals Juventus. The 26-year-old Serb has 18 months left to run on his current deal, but Chelsea are offering around £60,000-a-week to tempt him to sign for an additional three years.

I really doubt this is true. I hope it's not anyway.

I'd be suprised if Ivanovic and his agent agree to that offer. There are many clubs in Europe that would be willing to pay Ivanovic a lot more than that. All it takes is for his agent to state Chelsea offer to various clubs and there would be numerous offers.

The Kakuta offer is simply insane. That is too much for a young player that isn't useful now and probably won't be for a long, long time.

[Kostas 1,468]

40k doesn't sound that bad if Wilshere earns 50k. Let's hope is a 4 or 5 year deal though.

[Henrique 9,133]

Chelsea won't discuss new deal for Didier Drogba until next summer

I dont believe we are even considering a new deal...lmao.

[Kostas 1,468]

Why would we give him a new deal 18 fricking months before his contract expires?

He'll be 34 by the time his current contract expires and for all we know he might turn into a mediocre striker by then.

Lazy journalism.

[Kostas 1,468]

With Kakuta out of the way I'm confident about Ivan signing a new contract, however he's so similar to JT that this it could be dramatic.

I'm not very confident about Bosingwa with his new injury and the Srna summer rumors being believable.
