There probably wasn’t even a bid in the first place, this all originated from Sky. Their ‘Breaking News’ sections, we all knew last week. They want to be relevant!

More on Flash wanting to join us, and us hoping he pushes Everton in to allowing it:

Loved Duffer, if Gordon becomes a player like him he would be worth the 50mill.

'IF'....that's a big word in football terms.  If CHO could only take on a defender, if only Kai Havertz could score goals, and many other 'ifs' we've witnessed over the years.  While Gordon may be young and fast, he surely is not worth £50mill, that's season international players territory.  £20-25mill at best.

Paul Joyce confirmed the bid.  He is about as reliable as they come re. Everton and Liverpool.  

 

If Gordon does join, I think it's almost guaranteed Gilmour will go the other way and perhaps Batshuayi

We can’t possibly need Gordon,cho,ziyech and Pulisic. At least two too many. 

Gordon has one key asset over CHO. There is an edge to him, an agression that CHO doesn't have. He's "up for it". Diaz at Liverpool is the same.

Whatever his cost is, it seems likely to be offset with player or players going in the other direction. Todd is a believer in player exchange/swap apparently.

Even if we sell Ziyech and Pulisic, CHO should be ahead of this kid but somehow I have a feeling that if we do sign Gordon that he'll get a chance sooner than CHO.

Feels like we want him because of how he played against us. Last time we did that we signed Salah. I don't know what that means. 

If we want him so bad, make the deal, Throw in Gilmour and Bats ffs, Everton say they want players, we have loads of fringe, Hell  even Puli, Barclay or Ziyech??

I can't stand this guy. Only thing I've seen him do is win a leg race and then dive at the slightest bit of contact.

Sending them players is one thing...it's the f**king stupid wages we've put them on that makes it difficult to get rid of unless we end up paying at least half the wages.  Why would you want to leave one club that's paying you over £100,000 a week, to a club that might only pay you £50-60,000k.

Think we'd learn to like him if he signed for us though.

Extremely hard worker and got some talent. £50 million is obviously excessive but he's a talented lad.

Crazy. Spending £50m on a position we don't urgently need when we have more pressing issues like a CB, midfield and a CF

Boehly works in mysterious ways

Its such a wonderful time of year, fans get angry when Chelsea are rumoured to be signing someone, with no basis other than someone pretending to be Italian on twitter. Then get angry when we dont actually sign them, even though it was just a rumour made up by someone pretending to be Italian on twitter 😅

I don't think this one happens as it is being reported Everton want Broja for him and qe are not willing to let Broja go.

i wouldn't do that trade

a loan maybe but i suspect if that happens that we will get Aubameyang. I prefer to give Broja a chance over Aubameyang

Chelsea seemed to have done this a number of times in the past, being interested or buying players who have played good games against us who we maybe wasn't looking at previously.

No way should we do that, Broja needs a fair crack of the whip, and he's our youth team product so I want him to succeed here.

I wouldn't say it's crazy given that the two deals people have gotten the hump over (Cucurella the other) provide suitable options to Chilwell and James. I would prefer our season not crumbling if we lose either/both again. 

In last years match day thread against  Everton, i immediately commented he would be brilliant at Chelsea, lets do it

Common now; £100m on fullback options makes zero sense. Come next season one of Cucurella or Chiwell will get the hump because they are not playing regularly and push for a move. We will be forced to sell one for less than market value. Presently we are forking out close to £300k/w for the LB position, makes no sense whatsoever. Liverpool have spent less than £50m on four of their fullback options, and a few of our rivals spent less £20m for a fullback this summer.

My theory that Boehly is trying to burn through the mandated squad Investment capital stipulated by Roman as quickly as possible still stands. There is no way we won’t look back at this summer’s spending in the next couple of years when he inevitably turns off the tap, and wonder why we didn’t make smarter moves in the market.
