Waited patiently for this to appear as a reply hahaha.

As per my single contribution to this forum thus far; been here for years as a dirty, disgusting lurker, oftentimes contemplating creating account in bewilderment to some of the opinions of my fellow blues on here. Today though, the straw that broke the camel's back arrived when I read a user suggest that Dortmund wouldn't accept an offer twice as high as Haaland's buy-out clause; absolutely mental! Anyway, 28, from South Wales, ex-forces, been a blue since I was wriggled in to a babygrow and have had some mint experiences and some absolutely awful ones supporting and watching us over the years. I'm a FA level 2 coach with a keen interest in football as a whole, not just Chelsea. Can be frequently seen shouting, swearing and instructing games as if I actually had a buck of knowledge. Nothing quite like being told by your Grandma to 'STFU!' as you lose yourself watching Bakayoko pass to the advertisement board. Hope to engage with you all and potentially see you at the Bridge sometime. thebluekid

Hi! Completely new here; well, not new, I have been browsing these forums for years but in a non contributing way! A freeloader if you like haha. In my honest opinion, if the club really want to sign him, they will. They have the funds available and there is ZERO chance that Dortmund will refuse an offer which is double his buy-out clause. They would be utterly stupid to do so; it's not an Eden Hazard situation where he was sold for an excessive amount, he didn't have a buy out clause in his final year- Haaland does, if they didn't accept an offer they would be throwing £60-70million down the drain in what has been the most difficult financial crisis football has seen since WW2. The ONLY things that stop this deal happening are either Chelsea not putting a big offer down or Haaland. If Haaland wants it, wages are met, agent fees and a big offer is placed; he will sign for Chelsea. Dortmund will not hang on and lose that money. It just simply won't happen. In a non-global pandemic world, maybe. 2021? No chance.
