Tiny mistake  I totally remembered it being Zouma and posted without looking  

 

I deny getting old BTW 

 

Still a good memory if we throw Rüdiger into the bargain, right?

Just straight up racism here lol wow

[chiefBlueCFC]

20m for Zouma seems incredibly low

[DidierDrogbalala]

No way Marina sells Zouma for 20m, she's very good at selling players and Zouma is stll a France international thanks to Deschamps.

[axman2526]

West ham are after him and he would rather stay in London it seems but they have lowballed us at 20mill.

[icecoolguy22]

Pretty sure Spurs or Arsenal be bidding for him if he's keen to stay in London, let the bidding war begins.

Wrong image from the game - there was another moment where the Atletico players started barking at Rudiger and promptly quietened down when Zouma showed up

[junkymunky]

Dont trust any rumours tbh, a couple days ago it was Sevilla and Zouma have agreed in being part of the swap for Kounde, and now its Zouma doesnt wanna leave London

[Oli]

So west ham want £100m for rice and expect us to sell Zouma for £20m, a full French international. I for one hope we tell them where to go.

[sonic90]

There is no way we sell him for £20m, I bet WH wouldn't even entertain a part swap for Rice so f**k them. I can't imagine Zouma wanting to go there either.

Now Palace and Spurs linked too. If Ghuri goes for 18mill no way Kurt should be just 25mill.

40mill imo or no deal.

[ForeverCarefree]

West Ham remain interested apparently and you have to wonder if Chalobah starting against Palace is a nudge to Zouma about his future at Chelsea? 

£25m asking price allegedly and the sale of a centre back is required before bidding for Kounde. 

[axman2526]

Rumours about Spurs want him.

I expect Roman would block such a move, as Levy did with Modric and Kane and Roman responded by blocking Ba going to them on loan.

If Spurs add £5m on to the price, and with a nod and wink, cough 'Modric' to see if they get the message.

Yeah I would sooner keep him about than subject him to paying for Spurs or Weat ham lol.

f**k Tottenham....

JT is on the case!

JT's insight gets a knock a bit further down when he is supposed to have said Grealish is on the same level as Hazard 🤢 When Eden was 7 perhaps...

Still, hopefully Zouma takes his advice 😀

[Guest Sindre]

Agreement with West Ham on the the price it seems.

Surely Zouma is going to want to go there? Realistically he's not going to play here and he'd do well at West Ham in my opinion.

Quote

West Ham have reportedly struck an agreement with Chelsea for Kurt Zouma after meeting their £26million asking price, but the defender's personal terms have stalled the deal.

Zouma wants a salary of about £125,000 per week, a significant increase on what he currently earns at Stamford Bridge, according to The Athletic. The deal would make the French defender West Ham's highest paid player.

 

[axman2526]

He would strengthen West ham a lot. Not sure this is a wise idea.

If this is true I can't actually fault Kurt, considering he's won a prem and a champions league, £125k a week doesn't seem like he's asking for too much.

The question is would he be willing to make a compromise. To me it wouldn't make sense not going purely due to not coming to a wage agreement.

I'm wondering is he being stubborn because he doesn't want to leave or rather he feels he's earned a pay rise and should be paid what he believes is his worth. 

Either way we should get a conclusion soon.
