Chelsea missing out on Lukaku I believe was an act of sluggishness from us, even though I never wanted us to get him. I would take Aubumayang over Lukaku, any time, any day. What I really don't like is Chelsea being slow with transfers. I hope time doesn't run out on us leading to another panic buy again.

I wasn't keen on Lukaku and I do believe he is going to flop in MU. Aubameyang is a very exciting player. Very pleased if we get him.

11 Jul 2017 17:04:30
Aubamayang would be too too bit of business, but it can't stop there, he'll need some help. Top winger or someone else to help out with the goals.

Matt are you having a laugh? Top winger to help him out? I thought we have Hazard and also Pedro/ Willian. Anyway getting back to the topic it would be awesome if we could get aubemayang and also don't sell matic to UTD just shift him abroad.

PEA is too much money. Cannot for the life of me aww that happening. £70m - for a 28year old!

11 Jul 2017 21:56:07
Whilst I sincerely doubt newspapers have any clue about fees etc, City are willing to spend £80m on a player who's not only older but only has a single year left on their contract (Sanchez) . Personally I don't see £70m as too much for PEA given the figures being banded about this season.

I hope we do sign Aubaemayung. Some argue about his age and price involved in getting him. But he can surely perform better for next four seasons.
Other options will include Belloti and Morata.
TBH I don't know much about Belloti and it will be difficult to get Morata from Madrid unless they get Mbappe from Monaco.

Really hope it's true that we are trying for Aubameyang and that we will get him - though thought he might be off to PSG. Not sure if eds know what is happening here?

11 Jul 2017 12:11:55
PSG pulled out of the deal because of the price tag. Unless something has changed very recently the eds have said that his only offer is from China and I seriously doubt we could match the transfer fee or wages offered.

PSG pulled out of a deal. the offer Dortmund and Aubameyang had on the table was from China. that was the last update from Ed002 on the European pages.

11 Jul 2017 13:09:43
Aubameyang, he like Costa are using Chinese interest for their own ends. BOTH have clearly indicated that they like home comforts. Aubameyang is close to his parents and I think he has a son and he not long ago bought a new house so is he going to go to China, highly unlikely. Costa has complained from day one that him and family were homesick for Spain and every opportunity he flew to Madrid so is he going to China where there is no 'nipping home', high unlikely.

Aubaemayung is using China interest for his own benefit.
He is reportedly holding for very high wages. That's the reason PSG pulled off from the deal.
CFC are trying for Morata now but in case we failed to get him we might renew interest in Aubaemayung again.

Thanks for helpful responses even if they were not what i hoped for!

{Ed002's Note - I would not pay too much heed to the responses JBS.}

11 Jul 2017 18:18:23
Thanks Ed, just read the update on the European pages.

Steve.

From what Ed002 has discussed on the European pages, Aubameyang talks took place with Chelsea on Friday and there are currently two teams - the other being AC Milan - who remain interested.

11 Jul 2017 21:27:38
Thanks ed 002 for rather different and interesting response and imuchpreferblue for your expansion.

12 Jul 2017 01:20:02
Why would we prioritise Morata over Aubameyang? He's twice the player Morata is.

11 Jul 2017 08:57:03
Ed, I was wondering what the plan for Kenedy is for the upcoming season? Are Chelsea looking to loan him out, or will he provide cover in the 1st team.
He's clearly got the talent, but I worry about the mental side of his game.

11 Jul 2017 10:05:21
I think he's a good option at the LWB role.

11 Jul 2017 10:10:27
definitely can play, but not really showing to much. hard to move from Brazil to England not a lot of Brazilians settle in to he honest. places like Spain or Portugal are better moves first for thm.

11 Jul 2017 10:24:28
Brazilians don't really settle in? Willian, Luiz, Oscar, Alex, I'm sure there are a few more that settled in quite nicely! 😉.

11 Jul 2017 10:51:01
they didn't start in england did they lol as there first move adam. that's wht i was refering too.

11 Jul 2017 11:13:50
Oscar did.

11 Jul 2017 12:55:52
wheres he now lol.

11 Jul 2017 18:00:50
Hopefully Kennedy will get his chance ( instead of splashing 60m€ on Sandro) . We need striker at least one, if Costa leaves 2.That has to be priority.
