He has an internet connection and, presumably, opposable thumbs. That qualifies him as an expert these days.

This has moved in a positive direction since this morning, however still no agreement with player or club. 

Just over 4 hours left, ADL notoriously difficult to deal with unless you over pay, which we can't afford to do. 

Don't see this happening tbh.

Maybe it is a case of Sancho or Osimhen, Then we can have an extra winger and use Nkunku or Felix as striker Jackson. 

Makes the whole KDH signing even more pointless, shouldve put the money towards our main target and used the abundance of talent we already had.

Aye don't see we have the wage space for both, Sterling and Chilwell happy to sit it out it seems, which is their right.

Also sounds like Napoli are trying to squeeze more money out of the Saudis, would be quite a mess for them if Victor had to stay there.

It takes a monumental effort to spend over a billion pounds in two years and still rely on Nico Jackson as your first choice striker. The worst part is that they've spent an insane amount of money on the players we absolutely have no use for.

What a bunch of imbeciles.

I don't think Napoli can afford to keep Lukaku and Osimhen on both wages, Vic has to go. I reckon this will happen in a couple of hours.

Just over 4 hours left. This is too big a deal to get done in that time. We are famously bad with late paperwork too.

Either ADL goes crawling back to the Saudis or he is stuffed imo.

Napoli want him to go to Saudi though, their window is open for 2 more days. If Chelsea is off the table, then it's either Saudi or no football until January for Osimhen. 

It will be typical of us to sign Sancho, who we don’t need and fail to get Victor, a player we actually need.

Indeed, it suits Napoli far, far more for him to go to Saudi.

Even if we magically get a green light from Victor in the next 5 minutes I don't see Napoli accepting what we can  offer.

Without getting Sterling or Chilwell to go to United to.

Sign a keeper worse than Sanchez - Check.

Replace Silva with Tosin, banish Trev, - double check.

Replace Gallagher with KDH, a vastly inferior player - super check.

Fail to sign a proper 9 for their 4th window together running - quadruple check.

 

@Mod we need a new poster from JM to include Winstanley and Stewart on it!

Ofcourse. We panic and throw insane money at this like we did for Enzo Fernandez. All Napoli has to do is stand firm on their valuation. Egghead and co. will eventually panic and pay way over the top.

Chelsea have a delegation trying, but they have a FFP limit, Chelsea FC are still not matching the wage request of Victor Osimhen” (@FabrizioRomano @WatchPlayback)

The transfer window in Saudi Arabia ends in two days.

They'll just sell him to Al Ahli in the next couple of days, he'll get his nice cheque every week and that'll be all.

Apparently they're offering him 650k a week tax free.

Id imagine it's hard to turn down this kind of money, no matter how old you are.

Basically says we are all paying for too much for our fuel if they can afford to throw that much money away on a footballer 🙂 

Lol those are hilarious tweets.
