It really dont need one. Even if it's made up it's the truth.

The original article was posted in response to someone saying the club doesn't comment on transfer rumours, as if the club has commented on the rumours in the article. 

 

Of course he's not for sale...but the club doesn't actually say it.

I feel between now and end of August Chelsea will stump up the required amount. Or that Fofana will try and force a move through. 

 

And then it'll be too late for us to get any other signings through the door :(

if our recruitment dept is doing its job properly, you should see us linked with some CB's over the next few weeks (better than colwill).  we need to have our ducks in a row in the event that chelsea come in with an offer we cannot refuse.   its v v doubtful that they would but you have to be there with your plans because the player would not be happy if they offered £90m and we knocked it back.

I'd see £80m as a bargain for Chelsea to be honest. Ake to City for like £40m with 2 years on his contract, Ben White going for £50m...I just get the feeling we're seeing a really special player in Fofana, same way it was apparent when Kante stepped on the pitch. Even his attitude during the injury seemed exemplary - and he's only 21! Still think he should be the first £100m defender.

I've seen him several times, was already aware of how highly he was rated in Chelsea's academy but it was his performances at Championship level where its proven he's well on his way to the sort of progression that will see him step up seamlessly.

 

I want Colwill regardless of Fofana being linked to them, if Fofana were to go I'd want another exceptional young defender, this isn't me saying Colwill slots in instead of Fofana and off we go.

 

We don't need proven Premier League players, it's the biggest waste of money and red herring in top level football.

This has to be our transfer strategy too. We shouldn't be paying the premium that comes with "prem proven". Smart buys for those we think can step up allows us to keep competitive in the transfer market and steadily improve the squad - Fofana, Maddison, Justin all great examples of us doing this. It's sad when we lose a top talent for big bucks - but if we reinvest smartly then we continue to grow.

The reason Colwill should be insisted in any deal is not because he will replace Fofana, we want Colwill as well as Fofana but because we owe St Etienne a % of any profit and it'll be huge given the fee we'd demand, we'd save money on one of our main targets. We would then still need to replace Fofana - not easy.

Colwill would have to be given a value for FFP so we would still pay. The % will be on what the deal is worth not what's paid.

Woah, he’s definitely worth it but I can’t see is making an offer like that for anyone we’ve been linked with this window.
