Thanks for one club worldcup match and a lot of huff and puff without that much.. worry is this lot will replace you with absolute dross ..

We still have Disasi Tosin Badiashille Chalobah Fofana on our books and the player we sell first is CC..

This sale is ridiculous for the fee quoted. Why chelsea sold him at 15 million lost when there are multiple rich clubs interested in him?

His desire to leave or his remaining contract length is irrelevant. Other clubs, smaller than Chelsea, managed to get the most under that condition.

At 27 years old, he's on his peak and also highly rated by many contrary to the views in this forum. Personally, I do not mind this sale if chelsea gain profit from it. This made Chelsea look weak even if the owners are desperate to sell him due to him questioning their strategy. Should at least play it cool, not hastily accepting such lowball offer.

I thought everyone on this site hated cucu? Go back a few pages and you’ll see some of the people complaining about this sale also wanting him out

Cucurella wouldn't be a regular for probably one of the best national teams in the world right now if he was as useless as some comments on here say he is. .

Same national team that Pedro Porro starts on the opposite side btw.

£51.8m. Makes it the 4th most expensive left back signing in history.

Maxi Araujo for between £30m-£45m is the rumours for this one. Don't really see the point if we have Hato already and Barco is a Grimaldo regen for Alonso.

His book value is around £21m.

Very good deal for us.

But then using your logic why do we need to spend £££ on a CB when we have Acheampong? Or a replacement for Enzo when we have Santos/Barco?

He’s not world class but he’s an influence and constant for the team. Thats going to take an affect if not replaced adequately. Liverpool replaced Robertson with Kerkez, a promising young player with more experience than Hato, and he struggled massively.

This tweet sums it up for me. This deal is only good based on who we replace him with.

Because Kerkez's strength at Bournemouth was bombing forward, a key cog in the coach's machine. Actual defence was his weakness as Bournemouth fans pointed out. 'Pool made the same misreading with Frimpong as a RB. Now an auxiliary forward.

Absolutely.

We have to sell some players in their peak. We were spared that during Roman but its a different financial environment now.

Coming off a bad season, with a short time left on his contract, wanting to leave - I think we've done reasonably well here.

Of course, how this money is reinvested (if at all) is where it will be judged whether its a good sale or not

Very good deal for the owners, pretty bad for the quality of the team losing a leader and one of the best in their position in the world right now. Guess the time of building a squad to fight for trophies has been replaced with selling the top players once they are ready to do that.

Come off it.

Confirmed by the club.

Good point, but who on earth is going to going to buy Disasi Tosin Bada and Fofana?

I heard Peterbrough were in the market.

I think we can easily ship Disasi and Tosin. Both would have loads of mid table PL clubs in for them. Disasi had a great loan at west ham. Badiashille can likely find many options on the continent.

Fofana will be the tough one.

I quite like that we are getting our sales done early. Well, one sale anyway 😄

Tosin wages will be tough to shift. Disasi should be a really easy sale this summer after his West Ham stint though.

Disasi's book value is around £20m. WH probably can't afford him now. Remarkable how he turned Mavropanos into a reliable CB playing alongside him.

I don't think Disasi would move to the Championship, but i could certainly see someone like Everton or Palace going for him.

Wages! We are overpaying our dross. Only top clubs can afford to pay those wages, unless we subsidise it. Don’t think our owners are interested, or in a position to that book wise.

He's better than the Championship. Everton could use him. Branthwaite seems permanently crocked.
