They will try for a loan. No way we get that fee for him. £15m I reckon that they will still dress up as profit.

Close enough!

Will be surprised if Sterling doesn’t end up at Palace for the season.

I was thinking the same. Possibly West Ham with us paying 2/3rds of his salary

We should be back in for Conor.

Quality industrious player. Can't have too many of them.

Won't be too dear either.

Very good player.

BREAKING: According to @sport, an official offer of €50million from Chelsea has arrived for Fermín Lopez. FC Barcelona is evaluating the London club's proposal. If accepted, it would be the solution to its Financial Fair Play problems.

Chelsea evaluating possibility of move for Fermin Lopez. No contact yet with Barcelona but #CFC speaking to 22yo attacking midfielder’s camp as options explored in case of exits & given #FCBarcelona depth in Spain international’s position @TheAthleticFC

That’s a weird one. Presume instead of Simons?

Maybe a rumour to make Leipzig reduce the Simons price? Can play left wing so possible Garnacho replacement (hopefully)?

As for Fermin I've seen him play, just a few sub appearances for Barca and liked what I've seen but a very small sample size.

Who, what, huh?! Instead of ....well, anybody really?

So Mainoo wants out. Had Andrey Santos not been here, I think Mainoo would have been perfect to rotate with Enzo Fernandez in that hybrid 10/8 position.

It would be absolutely monumental for Garnacho and Mainoo to succeed at a club like Chelsea, having been United's golden kids and their fans' most adored youngsters in such a long time.

Oh please!!!!

Not a chance he’s coming back to us because he ain’t good enough. He’s moved on. Chelsea have moved on and it’s time a section of our support moved on too.

It’s been well publicised that he could be made available from Athleti and other than Palace and Tottenham having an rumoured interest i’m not hearing any of the top clubs fancying him. That probably tells you all you need to know.

laugh i nearly bought a drink.....

In a shock twist of events, Trent Alexander-Arnold has supposedly fallen out of favor at Real Madrid already. With Dani Carvajal expected to remain the club’s undisputed starter, Manchester City are said to be monitoring the situation closely ahead of a potential swoop for the England international.

Same tan but he needs to get back to Turkey and get his money back for his teeth. Shocking how quickly they have deteriorated.

More self reporting required, we’re 100% money laundering or part owners of Brighton, it’s proper f**king weird at this point.

Is Tony Bloom Todd Boehly’s English alter-ego or something?!

Prayers up that the Simons/Fermin rumours were a smokescreen whilst we negotiate Morgan Rogers for Wacko + a Fee in the background.

Have some faith!

Apparently we’re looking at spending 40m on Roger Fernandes from Braga for Strasbourg
