I don’t want their contracts extended on the basis of we might make a few quid back and be stuck with them even longer. Just admit we f**ked up, let them leave ASAP and move on.
 

Hell, tell Milan the £3mil loan fee is fine for a permanent transfer and get rid!

Don't be so hasty, let's give him another chance, he can do a job!! Pissing about and blowing all this money on these foreign one season wonders, and wasting time on these good for nothing youngsters we have, and also who is Lampard bloke running the team? I say bring back AVB. Bakajoko for Captain!

He's got 46 starts the last two seasons as a loan player. he was really good for AC Milan. I didn't watch him this past season with Monaco. But I think we'll get a fee for him. 

Looking increasingly likely he's on his way back to AC Milan either on loan with an obligation to buy or straight transfer fee. Either way it should net us somewhere in the region of £20m. 

The 2017 disaster class of a transfer window slowly being put behind us. 

Please sell him. 20m is more than good enough

Not as worried about getting something for Bakayoko as I am getting anything for Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Rahman and Kenedy ... Baka does at least seem to have clubs that are interested in buying him ...

Baka saying he's willing to take a paycut to get a move is a big reason that makes him "sell-able" as well.

I don't expect the same concession from Drinkwater, and I don't know about Zapacosta.

As a person you have to have respect for Baka taking that stance.

I agree. There's a useful player in there. He was really good for Milan. He's not as bad as we saw at Chelsea. I hope Chelsea gets a partial refund, and Bakayoko finds a place where he's comfortable.

I agree, though he did not work out Chelsea whether it be nerves or the system I think he can be player at certain clubs and hope he finds this and we recoup some money.

His first big move and he failed to make the step up.

His good performances at Milan have simply increased his value. He’s had his chance here and he’s not good enough. The loan was successful in creating additional value. Nothing more. 

Not a big fan of wasting a loan spot on him. Our youngsters would lose one opportunity with that spot gone.

He has had two loans with buy options that were not redeemed, one at Milan. May as well let him enjoy the reserves if they dont kick up a fee or a mandatory buy option like Morata.

Agreed. Time to sell.

That loan rule doesnt start until next summer now.

Needs sold, he will never achieve a role in our squad just like a few others. 

Baka, Drinkwater, Michy and Emerson all need to be cut from the squad and preferebly for a fee. There's a few others of course like Barkley who I just don't see what he brings.

Barkley is a very handy squad player in my opinion, very erratic in terms of consistency which is why he will never be a regular starter but he tends to have one run a season where he's excellent (last season it was just before lockdown and under Sarri was the autumn) and most of the rest of the time does a solid enough job. If his "spell" next season coincides with Kai or Mount being injured or suffering a rut then all the more handy.

For aslong as he knows his place regarding minutes I'm happy to have him here, especially with a season as conquested as the one coming up is going to be.

Back to Gattuso. Let’s hope he doesn’t gob off at him this time and earns a permanent move. 

4.5 million pounds loan fee

Wish someone would bloody buy him.

Is this definite. Has it been done?

Officially gone on loan, not looked if it includes future fee because no f**ker will ever pay it!

No reason for a club to agree to a buy clause as everyone knows we are desperate to get rid of him anyway.
