I think we should keep Kai. Get a competent number 9 and play Kai behind . We shouldn't let him go 

To get £60m for Kai would be an absolute steal considering we signed him for £62m. Madness. 
 

Take the money and run Bohley.

Sky reported we paid 75mill for Kai.

We already have Nkunku for that position behind the striker, even if Kai stays, heèll be  back up

I think Kai will be successful when he moves and we’ll look back. But we’re not selling a KDB or Salah here, it’s more a potential world class player in the right system. We need to sell though - he’s had three years and hasn’t really improved, doesn’t ever look particularly happy, and gives no impression he’d renew his contract. 

If we have to sell, so be it, hopefully we will keep Mount as the fall out of it. But let's make it as difficult as it is for our city rival. If it's a foreign club, this deal been done already.

Couldnt care less if he goes to Arsenal. He's not playing well for us and we still can't find the right position for him after 3 years, he's one of the reasons our attack has been dire for the entire time he's been with us. Get the most money you can to fix the club finances and move on. Thanks for the occasional clutch goal but i won't miss much. We need more grinta up front.

He has also flattered to deceive for Germany in the euros and world cup and nations league.. it’s just the fear of all the noise and hype around him that he hasn’t been flogged off yet..

If he’s chosen Arsenal over Bayern then it’s a mistake on his part.

He’s perfect for the role Muller plays. I don’t see how Arsenal will fit him into their system.

I want us to hold firm for at least 65mill, not including add ons an all in deal.

PL rival tax that is the least I feel we should get. We have leverage here especially if we are about to receive good fees from Saudi for Auba, Ziyech, Koulibaly and Mendy.

Reports saying that £60m will seal the deal. That is very good. We won’t get much more and this will be our last chance to get serious money for him. We’re not getting it next year particularly if he has a poor/average season. 

I do really like Havertz and was very much in the "keep him" camp, BUT at £60million + it is a no brainer that we must take the money. Forgetting FFP, for two years now Kai has basically failed to deliver (much) and we really do need an out and out goalscorer, not a false number 9. I believe we will buy one, and with a hopefully returning fit Broja and Nkunku who will play in the "hole" we will be a lot better off. I dont think Havertz will do much at Arsenal, for the life of me I can't see where they fit him in, but if he was to go to either Germany or Spain, he could be successful in a good side but an inferior League.

Odegaard is someone who could appreciate Kai making those smart runs in games. We haven't had a player to do so. We used Enzo as a DM so far. Use him as an 8 to get someone to feed Kai.

Anyway I think this has run its course. If we get 60m for Kai lets move on and start building with Nkunku and others.

Feed Kai to do what?

Putting Kai through one on one to lightly kick it directly at the keeper, god i can't wait for Arsenal fan TV if he signs.

So we hear we are set to get 40mill euros for Kova, now that has dropped to 25mill euros.

Mason Mount at 70mill pounds firm price. Apparently now only a certain 48mill.

What's the betting Kai goes from 75mill asked for to the 52mill Real dropped their interest at?

20mill pounds Kova (12mill FFP book value profit)

Plus Mounts full 48mill.

Plus Kai at 52mill (24mill book value profit).

84mill quid leaving 8mill to go by June 30th. Might be careful with the Saudi deals for Koulibaly and Auba to go on July 1st and Ziyech and Mendy before June 30th so we get our needed money.

Smacks of a fire sale, but if we do manage to get Arsenal to cough up the full 60mill on Kai we will have done what was needed.

Arsenal have approached Chelsea again for Kai Havertz — new bid was expected and talks are now advancing. Proposal is for £60m, as per @SamiMokbel81_DM. 🚨⚪️🔴 #AFC

Understand deal could be done around £65m fee. Talks to follow. Havertz has been clear: he wants Arsenal move.

 

Think I read that it was £55m + £5m add on’s.  Interesting to see whether the club hold out for £60m + £5m or not. 

Great deal for us

I’m amazed that Arsenal want to buy players from us given their past buys who have largely been terrible for them. Abit like us with Brighton. 

I don't see how he would fit alongside Nkunku anyway. Great sale if it goes through 

I've grown to care less about his. Majority of his performances have been hugely frustrating with us. Take the money and make sure he's replaced well. Hopefully he doesn't improve Arsenal significantly. 

I wonder how my fellow shed enders fele Kai will do there?

thinking about it this morning I feel Kai will do quite well for Arsenal. Artetas system will suit him and protect his faults a bit as well imo.

They are on verge of playing a 433 with Rice, Havertz, and Odegaard per Arsenal fans. 

I would love to see them play this.

Ah let's be fair Cech was a very good keeper for a sh*t team.
