What's new

Alex Sandro

Of course we do, because we were never going to pay what they wanted. Man utd or someone will come in, pay what they want and that will be that.

Exactly, we're not in a position to stall. We're not a financial juggernaut in comparison to clubs like Real Madrid or Man United. 
If we don't pay the money, they'll easily find another club that will.

 
We rake in record revenue and sponsorship while still making big profits from selling our loan players.

£60 million or thereabouts isn't a huge ask in this market given he is one of the top 3 left backs in the world just now. Other clubs will pay it no doubt and we will go for another Baba who fails.

 
Sad thing about this is, £60m really isn't much anymore for a player of his quality. Depressing.

 
If Virgil Van Dilk costs £75m and we can get Sandro for £60m, why are we even stalling?
Apparently we're willing to pay £50m...okay, why not just sell Van Ginkel, Piazon or any of the other thousand players we have on loan that will never play a part in the squad.
This is beyond penny-pinching now, if Marina can justify spending £35m on Drinkwater, why not an extra £10m for Alex Sandro?
 

 
And it's not as if Juve aren't willing to sell.
We know from credible sources that Sandro has requested to leave and Juve are open to it in January.
Yes, he'll be cup-tied but that didn't stop Barcelona buying the second most expensive player in the world.
Even if it just gives Alonso a breather every now and then. I'm confident in his ability but when he's forced to play every match, he gets tired and it shows.
 

 
What does this message show to players like Hazard and Thibaut? Who are arguably among the best players in the world?
They want to win trophies, they want to challenge for the Champions' League.
And I'm sure Barkley is a decent player and will prove his worth, but he's hardly a top tier signing.
So what are their options then? Stay at a club that's willing to accept mediocrity if it means saving a few quid or going to a squad like Real Madrid or PSG, who can offer players insane wages and genuine champions' league trophy potential?

 
And I know we've got a big new stadium coming and I'm sure it'll be nice and that.
But what now, what in the mean time? Are we just supposed to hope we find a cheap diamond like Kante every transfer window? Or is the squad going to fill up with more Zappacostas?
The fact of Football these days is that you have to spend money to make money and we've not been spending enough nor spending it wisely.
Look at when Ashley left.
Since then we've bought
Luis - £15m
Baba - £14m
Alonso - £24m
Total - £53m
To try and fill that similar position and while Alonso has been very good, he's hardly world class. These "cheap alternatives" add up, especially if they don't prove their worth. City needed a Left Back, they bought a World Class one and won't have to worry about that position for another 5 years.
We have to face it that unless additional funds is pumped into the club or the board is willing to fork out just that bit extra, we're not progressing as a club. There's only so many times you'll bring in a Manager like Conte who can win the league with the players he has. 
We're at a crossroads now, the club needs to be honest, are we willing to compete with City or United or are we just happy being Arsenal tier?

Extactly my point , if we wont win we wont have more fans and than who will watch the matches , the stadium will be just empty , Alonso is good so is moses but if we really want to win than we need support from the front , we need sandro , we need mehrez or lemar may be , someone who can really perform when team is going down , a manager cannot do miracles when players are not that good , he can try his best but conte is not a magician 

 
Look what this debacle has turned us into.
I found a petition on Change.Org to Marina to sign Alex Sandro.
https://www.change.org/p/marina-granvoskaia-chelsea-to-pay-up-for-alex-sandro-and-in-turn-secure-the-future-of-conte-and-hazard?recruiter=848017929&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial.undefined
A website that has created successful petitions to help get clean water to African villages, pay for vital surgery for people in need and to release political prisoners from tyrannical regimes, is now being used to try and pester one of our board members to pay the money Juventus want for a Football Player.
Absolutely pathetic.
...I'm signing it...but still, absolutely pathetic.

Watch out for the continuing stream of new emails from Change with new worthy petitions and a request for a contribution to running costs!

Day 167
Have we signed Alex Sandro yet?

I'll allow Taylor Swift to answer this question:
 

I remember when we missed our target, the first time

Saying, "This is it, Marina you’re too tough," cause like

The board won’t offer near enough

When Juve said they wanted more. What?

Then Juve come around again and say

"Okay, he will go and we swear we’ll accept your transfer fee; trust me"

Remember how Marina said she’d pay?

She’ll say, "Too expensive," it breaks down, “How much for Aaron Cresswell?”

Ooh we called this one early on

Cause ooh, this time we’re telling you, We’re telling you

We are never ever ever getting Alex Sandro

We are never ever ever getting Alex Sandro

You go talk to United, talk to Barca, and Man City

But we are never ever ever ever getting Alex Sandro

Like ever

Sadly this confirms we either have a sh*t show in Marina or that we are well on our way to becoming arsenal 2.0.

Probably both.......yeah I can only see jose calling this in and getting himself a World class player and move the likes of Young and Valencia further up the field. Or maybe psg will pounce.

So we are once Again getting f**ked by these people ha......What a way to send a signal that we are an elite Club and ambition.......im sure the likes of Eden, Tibo and Conte would love to stay with us this way......f**king pathetic this.

 
If we get Telles rather than offering Juve the Money or some add-ons etc.....then thats gonna be the final nail that we are heading the way we all feared. Absolutely amazing Roman aint moving a muscle anymore.......yeah we have won trophies thanks to Conte etc but he cant possibly be this blind can he?

I think Telles would be better value for us, but didn't someone just post that Porto aren't willing to sell anyways?  Makes it a moot point, if true.

Maybe.....maybe not. But I think Sandro will offer more in a die hard match.
