I think that of we can't sign a centre back then it may be a blessing in disguise we may have to play one of our promising youngstersI would prefer that and be willing to live with a mistake or 2 than a player that is just gunnar be a squad player and hope king Kurt comes back healthy and have Christians on and are back next season.

Koulibaly's agent has said that "The players situation will become clear in the next 2-3 days".

10 Aug 2016 14:37:41
the quote was : "I can say that in the next 2/ 3 days an announcement will be made and everything will be defined. "

So I guess he will either sign for us, or he just got a much better wage at Napoli what do you guys think agent playing games for a better deal?

10 Aug 2016 19:38:00
His agent has said previously that he wanted to move for financial reasons. So a new bumper contract could encourage him to stay.

Was just thinking with all these crazy prices being thrown around at the moment cough*Pogba/ Stones*cough.

I reckon we've done pretty well with the prices we've paid for our first team players over the last few years £32 million for Hazard, Costa and Kante and around that for Fab, £12 million for Zouma, £9 million for Courtois, £7 million for Dave etc.

Credit where credits due, there have been some duds in there but overall Emenalo and co have done pretty well.

I'm confident they'll bring in the right personnel between now and the end of the window and I feel importantly at the right price. Thoughts?

Yeah it's just a shame all the money we've wasted on players who we bought that were never going to make the first team like Miazga, Pato etc. The back up roles could easily have been filled better by our young talent.

10 Aug 2016 16:07:25
we've also bought garbage players that transfer fee's combined spent in their positions would buy pure class.

Left back purchases, Willian, pedro, remy.

10 Aug 2016 17:20:14
Sorry, am I reading that right? Willian a waste of money? Do you know anything about football Spearce96? Absolutely laughable!

10 Aug 2016 19:53:29
Willian is totally average the man is meant to be an attacking midfielder but never in his life has he good decent assist and goal numbers. He always stops and slows down our play so yes I do no something about Football. Maybe you should take your rose tinted glasses off and look at reality.

10 Aug 2016 20:29:00
I wouldn't say pedro or willian was a waste of money. There both quality players when used in correct formations. The club needs to buy players to suit the managers way of playing instead of who the owner likes the look of.

10 Aug 2016 23:20:17
Its not my money. If we signed pogba for a hundred mill i would be happy and so would you. But we need major investment. Play hazard in his natural number 10. I don't care what you say this is his best position. I would bid whatever for sanchez. Arsenal are a selling club and i wouldve gone for williams who is now at everton. We need a cb. Rb. Lb. Lw. And a striker.

12 Aug 2016 01:10:29
But to be fair the prices back then were a lot different, I don't know why but recently everyone is worth so much more for no reason at all.

12 Aug 2016 01:12:27
I'd say Chelsea make good deals, the only bad deals I can think of within the last few years were baba and Torres, although I love Torres £50 mil for him wasn't good negotiating and baba for £17 mil or whatever it was! Really? Although I am glad we got baba, He's one for the future, no one rates him but I think that's just because how much we spent on him, if we had got him for around £7m I don't think he would get as much hate.

The Zaza Matic swap deal is one of the laziest rumours I have seen all summer.

10 Aug 2016 14:04:53
Man I hope so!

10 Aug 2016 00:23:38
According to Di Marzio Matic has professionally asked to leave the club to join Juventus. I personally wouldn't sell him but if he doesn't want to be here Au Revoir.

10 Aug 2016 08:11:29
He acts as little more than Juventus' mouthpiece now, has lost nearly all credibility this summer after he got a load of deals wrong.

10 Aug 2016 08:26:39
Indeed, Di Marzio's word isn't gospel. I hope Matic stays at the club. The players were in large part responsible for our meltdown last season. Help us get back to the top, and then leave with your head held high.
We need a top class Matic!

10 Aug 2016 11:30:55
Sure,if you still believe in Santa.Juventus is the last team Matic would sign for. Real Madrid is something completely different.
