This window feels like an eternity. 6 plus weeks of total bollooks. And still over 2 weeks until it’s over. Mind you if we sell Fofana, our season will be over anyway.

moore_94 Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 (edited) Article by Percy... those bids are even more of a joke than what was being reported before! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/11/chelsea-told-make-world-record-offer-sign-wesley-fofana/?utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1660254037 Chelsea told to make world-record offer to sign Wesley Fofana Leicester will only consider a record-breaking offer for Wesley Fofana, as Chelsea prepare to make a third bid. Fofana is a priority target for Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who has seen bids of £50 million and £60m rejected by Leicester already this summer.

ARM1968 Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 I can guarantee £100 million gets him. Of course I will want 1% after tax for helping Bhoely to sort this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 If they’ve bid 50 and 60 then surely a jump to 80 is big. I hope we aren’t considering taking 80 because of their opening low ball bids! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jon the Hat Posted 12 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 12 August 2022 Objectively 60M is a fair offer - one of the largest amounts ever for a defender (7th, and 2 of those are De ligt) , and for a 21 year old with zero international caps. Its is only because we don't have any alternatives that he is worth more to us. Also I guess Ben White being worth 52M... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget his worth to the club. The fact that we have no replacement, and there is no time to get one. That’s what makes him worth 100mill to us 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean Chelsea are going to pay it, and it explains why the offer they made is not insulting, but objectively perfectly reasonable.

st albans fox Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 The narrative over the last 24 hours says to me that if they bid £80m we might sell and if they bid £85m then we will sell. we ain’t gonna see anything more than that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samarium62 Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 (edited) Chelsea don’t do reasonable. They load cannons full of money, and blast them at clubs in order to sign players, half of which end up flopping. A little planning and restraint on their part could solve a lot of their problems. At least with Abramovich he occasionally had the decent signing. Boehly looks to be significantly worse.

That’s not an unreasonable logic you’ve applied, other than the fact that Chelsea have thrown £62m at Brighton this summer for 24yr old left back with one senior international appearance… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taupe Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 "Reasonable" has got toss all to do with it. Fofana has a value to us, we have a sum in mind. Chelsea meet that and the talking starts. Value is always relative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 Purchase price for Wes as with any top level CB prospect is probably currently about 70m, but because of his value to us and his impact on being sold (i.e.; Replacement in the remaining time, recognition of loss of capability, lack of suitabler cover, etc) it is what we say it is. As with the Coutinho and Neymar thing, Maguire needs to mbe viewed as an outlier, not an indicative value, but if he were to be sold, I imagine those numbers would be realistic once more, although would fully expect we get less next Summer than we potentially could this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hales Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 Price is irrelevant if we have no one to replace him and are not able to get anyone. We would seriously weaken our team. This is too late to happen now. Go away Chelsea! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 Rodgers is already shifting the blame to Top if by selling Wes our form deteriorates. He will not carry the can for the club and the departure by mutual consent ( with massive compensation) will be on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 To summarize this. Chelsea let two CB’s contracts run down, get stiffed by Barce on a replacement signing and are now trying to fvck our season. Time to tell Boehly to f-off Top. It really is. This is all very unsettling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
