I think they are trying to look cool, but they just look ridiculous :biggrin:

Once impressionable young men like these have joined a religious sect it will be very difficult to get them out for pre-season training.

oh well, lukaku is at utd and whatever happens happens. we can't change anything as fans, we are neither the coach nor in charge of transfers, so it is what it is. whoever we bring in we just need to get behind. 

Llorrente is being heavily mentioned now.

It feels like a bad dream

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

but again, conte should also take blame for putting us in a position with a striker who now wants to leave even sooner, and one we won't get expected fee for. if the board are to blame, so is conte for the supposed texts. i still don't believe any rumours i hear because nobody knows. it's shown this window that journalists have no idea what is going on. 

Oh I agree, the way Contes dealt with the Costa situation was ridiculous. He left us in a bit of a mess that's for sure.

He probably assumed he'd get his man though although you should never bank on it.

75/100m Deal for him i think we well and truly dodged a bullet there no way will he be able to handle that pressure with all those little sneaky scamming manure eyes watching him every week .

Back up to who though? We don't have a main striker and the only one we have been linked to with any real intent is now going to United.

If that money were to go towards say Aubemyang or Belletti then I'd be delighted, trouble is I have not seen anything to suggest we are in for anyone like that.

You'd like to think if we bid that for Lukaku then we can for a better striker but who knows

I can understand aubamayeng, but what in belotti seems so imporessive to you, that you would be ridiculing the fee for lukaku yet happily pay 88mil£ for a player who has had one good season in football

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.

Don't see how the position has changed from yesterday evening to be honest.
We all thought Everton had agreed a fee with United
We were then told that Chelsea have matched the bid
And therefore the decision was down to Lukaku and essentially greedy versus childhood ambition 
Next we are told that Everton have indeed accepted Man Us bid but have yet to finalise personally term or conduct a medical.
Oh and I suppose Lukaku and Pogba having some girly bants on Twitter in which Lukaku mentions training tomorrow which given they are both still on holiday together in LA is unlikely to be with the Man U squad. 

I am pretty confident there will be additions to the squad its only early July plenty  time to get the players he wants no need splashing silly money on overrated media built up players early on leave that to all the others

He would suit our system far better than Lukaku would.

Have you see  him play at all? He's a fantastic striker and knows where the goal is. It's not just goals like Lukaku but his technique and  football ability is impressive which you don't get with Lukaku.

We paid a big sum at the time for Drogba who only had the one good season....its the chance you take. Folk said the same with Kante too in regards to one great season.

Selling yes, buying big players? Nope well at least not for a few years now. 

We were chasing Lukaku I don't think there is any doubt in that, every journo especially the ones who have ties with the club have been reporting it since last season. We put in an official bid AFTER United had all bug agreed the deal and terms while he was prancing about L.A. with United's biggest star. 

It's clear to me that for whatever reason he has been our main target and we pissed about for the third or fourth window in a row and lost out, that's now not just one of those things but a recurring theme with Chelsea. I don't rate the guy and glad we won't be paying daft money for him but all this will do is piss off the manager and mean we are feeding off scraps again. Last season it didn't really hurt us but the season before that it killed us and we had a disasterous season.

Toss a coin for next season with a pissed off manager and no proven goal scorer 

The only recurring theme with Chelsea is they refuse to pay high Agent Fee's and transfer fees, which whilst  is commendable will not make brokering deals easy. Chelsea are also one of the few top clubs who play things strictly by the book.

You either believe Jose Mourinho has done a job on Chelsea Football Club or take my stance which is in the know, that no bid was made to Everton FC.

If any Chelsea fan seriously believes Manchester Utd signed Lukaku from under our noses you have to question whether Roman Abramovitch and his staff are up to the job. Chelsea's NO1 target bought by a team chasing Morata, give me a break.

Belotti, Rudiger, Bakayoko, Llorente and Sandro are Conte's targets. 

Costa is the problem, I haven't a clue personally whether he will turn up at Cobham on Monday but there is no doubt the Belotti negotiations are going nowhere and that puts Conte in a position he did not expect.

Whilst I do not know Belotti's Agent persponally I do know an associate who is saying Chelsea will not pay the buyout fee.

Both Manchester Clubs and now Arsenal are willing to spend over 50m for a player, this is matched by other European Clubs in Tier 1 and Tier 2 like PSG and Bayern.

Chelsea are in Tier 3 with likes of Liverpool and Milan now.

Chelsea will not deal unless the combined package is under 35m 

Name me a player other than Torres who Chelsea have ever signed above that figure ?

Rudiger is flying from USA to London this evening and will complete a deal worth £33m with add ons. Manchester Utd were in talks too.

Bakayoko could still end up at Old Trafford unless Chelsea Bridge that £35m gap. The player wants to join Chelsea unlike Lukaku who had no intention of rejoining the club he wanted to star for when Mourinho agreed he could go.

Chelsea will never sign a player in the 50m plus bracket, yes they pay good wages but all the costs on top are not within their budget.

My man is 8m apart, Chelsea will not budge, it may go to deadline day.

I'm talking bids not some daft column in the Sun or Mirror....

Weed been linked to almost every top striker in one way or another but 9 times out of 10 those are just made up stories to sell papers. 

Who's being ignorant, we clearly have an issue landing our top targets as has been clearly shown in the past fewseasons...its not hysteria but fact.

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.

I guarantee you Chelsea will paymover 50 million in the next 12 months on a player.

Stop talking rubbish, we made a near 100 million on sales in the past year alone not including another 100 million in various sponsors and tv money.

Llorrente coming in isn't being held up by Costa, don't be daft. 

If you are a football agent then it would be for the likes of Ross Tokely down in the gutter league's of Scotland.

He's the biggest fraud of them all, Hulk was on a plane to London and would sign in the next few hours....

You keep banging on and on about how chelsea won't spend for than 50m per deal.Good i hope they don't there are cracking young talented hungry players out there that will have far higher sell on value than spunking 75/100m on a player with a first touch worse than donkey on ketamine. Your man being 8m apart sorry you need to stop sniffing glue

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.

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.

The angle you take is very unique. If what you are saying is true, why has it not been leaked to media that chelsea aren't going to spend big on anyone? 

I'm sure there are plenty of media outlets that would love to run a story about how chelsea can no longer mix it with the big boys for expensive players, and yet there are no such reports. 

In fact there are plenty of reports contradicting what you say, not just from journalists either. 

Why would a football agent like you claim to be, be on a forum in the middle of what would be a hectic time for football agents in the middle of the transfer window? Surely they would be too busy? 

I'm not going to resort to personnel insults. I'd just advise you find more productive ways to pass the time. Life's too short, get out the house and go enjoy yourself.

Erm there has a huge thread on here at the time, he's been at it for years...

He's never been a reputable source as none of them really are. They just guess and like a broken clock they are correct eventually.

I steer away from the official Chelsea Chat for obvious reasons, however did inform another forum site of the signings of Luiz and Alonso, four days before the end of deadline day.

Well that's interesting, which other forum was that and what was your username on there? If you can provide both it will be pretty easy and quick to find that content.
