Hahahahaha!!! I've never actually heard him speak. Hahaha! What a voice!

Vardy was almost 30 years old and transfer fees weren't this inflated last summer. Belotti is 24 in a market where quality players cost nothing less than 50m. We're not signing him for anything less than 70m.

Sarcasm? He's the absolute worst of the worst. Bottom of the barrel along with Guillem Ballague.

Our resident football agent has disappeared. Shame. Expecting Mendes to join the forum now.

You called what right? Where? Show us the posts. We're just curious, you know. :)

Oh come on. You can't be serious...

How exactly is he supposed to nutmeg Lukaku in the box?

Alright mate. Whatever you say.

Clearly some United fan has opened a troll account yesterday claiming to be a football agent in the know. I shudder to think it's a fellow Chelsea fan making a fool of himself that way on a Chelsea forum.

Not sure we're talking about the same Di Marzio but go ahead. Di Marzio wasn't a reputable source pre 2014, in fact, he was virtually unknown. We haven't been linked with Hulk by any source whatsoever since about 2012. If you have a link to Di Marzio reporting on Hulk on a plane to Chelsea, please provide it because I've searched and I can't find it anywhere on online. For what it's worth, I'm not saying he's ALWAYS right but the vast majority of the time, he's bang on with his reporting. As I said, if you have proof of your Hulk story, please provide it.

Possible Belotti replacement?

Except it's not daft columns. We've been linked by journos like Di Marzio and Matt Law. Same journos who linked us to Lukaku whom they were clearly right about us being after him, seeing as we actually made a bid. And no, we've not been linked with almost every top striker. We've been linked with Lukaku, Morata or Belotti. One of the three was always going to play for us next season. Have you been living under a rock? I believe no sensible football fan looks to the Sun or Mirror for transfer news.

We're clearly going after a main striker. We've been linked to Morata and Belotti as well. Let's not act ignorant for the sake of hysteria ffs.

As a backup of course, not as main striker. Come on. Every report about Llorente has mentioned that he's being targeted as backup.

Probably is. But not Costa for coming out and spilling it all in the media to deliberately f**k our negotiating power up? I'm sorry, I'm not buying this victim card Costa has had you all fall for. He's a c**t.

You have zero proof of that.

Remember when Fergie slated us for paying Hazard's agent big money? How times have changed.

Apparently, Raiola gets 12 mil from the deal. Absolute scam artist.

Jake Cohen is a bullsh*t artist as well. Works/worked for the club so he's even more biased than Levene. He's the originator of the "CFC have the best executives in football" nonsense. Always boasting about amount gotten for players sold. Never has a single objective thing to say about the state of the club. I wouldn't ignore them both 100% of the time but 80% would be fair. Rob Beasley is up there too.

We spent over 20m on Alonso and he isn't world class. They're asking for €25m-€30m, which is £22.1m-£26.5m. In today's market, that's about the price you get for a decent full back. Hardly a waste of money. At worst, he'd provide competition for Moses, who had none last season. At best, we get the beast of a player he was at Porto.

Ah yes, I forgot who it was. Can't deny he's been quite underwhelming at Madrid but speaking to a few Madrid fans recently, there are a few factors that contributed to that. Let's hope the change of scenery does him a world of good and hopefully we can bring his old mate Sandro along to keep him company (as well as Willian and Luiz).

Added him last summer tbh.

I worry about him only having one great season under his belt. But then again, so does Mbappe and everyone's creaming their pants over him.

Seems like Mino Raiola has taken over from Jorge Mendes as the greediest bar steward in football now.
