Cool off and open negotiations elsewhere.
Ridiculous from Chelsea.

Again the window opened June 14th. People need to calm down.And as the time goes by and the window closes, they'll soon realize they have about 10 players more then they need, who don't want to be there....
Suddenly 40 looks a steal.
This won't end before the deadline.
We have the upper position in the deal.
And if they don’t want to go for it then plenty of time to sort other positions and negotiate for an alternative.And as the time goes by and the window closes, they'll soon realize they have about 10 players more then they need, who don't want to be there....

Hell no. No where near comfortable with the ball deep in his own area. Ball carrying and timing of interceptions is miles apart too.Just curious, is he the answer to FDJ role?
...Then what is the predicted role for him? LCM with Bruno on the RCM in deeper role?Hell no. No where near comfortable with the ball deep in his own area. Ball carrying and timing of interceptions is miles apart too.
Agreed even in a weeks time we could be in a much better position.Again the window opened June 14th. People need to calm down.
The role of "massive transfer saga that lasts ages and ends up with the player staying where he is"? Hopfully.Just curious, is he the answer to FDJ role?
Where did you pick this up from? He's very well used to ball carrying and has very good retention.Hell no. No where near comfortable with the ball deep in his own area. Ball carrying and timing of interceptions is miles apart too.
You'd like him to stay?The role of "massive transfer saga that lasts ages and ends up with the player staying where he is"? Hopfully.
Most annoying posts are theseAgain the window opened June 14th. People need to calm down.
Casemiro as a holding midfielder with Mount and Bruno ahead of him on each side. My guess would be Mount comes deep / next to Casemiro to initiate build-up. He's a very good long range passer and an ability of his that go unnoticed because he usually plays further forward, and there is no need for long passes in the final third....Then what is the predicted role for him? LCM with Bruno on the RCM in deeper role?
Sure but the player doesn't want to stay by all accounts. I'd rather switch targets then sign him next year on a free (if he really wants to come here). Fed up of us overpaying for players!I would imagine the difference is Chelsea don't want Mount to go, whereas City seemed more than happy to let Sterling leave.

1. EboueNow I'm intrigued to find out who's on this list!
Me too. I just struggle to see who it is. I just don't see who offers Mount's creativity, long passing and work rate. I bet all of the players on the list are completely different type of players.Now I'm intrigued to find out who's on this list!
Terrible planning you say?Most annoying posts are these
People say this every summer while every other team is strengthening their squad
We shouldn’t be happy with United being slowest off the mark every single summer. It shows terrible planning and it always ends up the same way, signing whoever is available in the last weeks

Going higher than 50 million poundsIn what way is it desperate?
I'm not suggesting we buy nobody. Part of the reason he's a good buy is that the contract situation should mean he's decent value, it's not that he's the only player on the market. If Chelsea are asking too much, then we should look elsewhere for this season and go for him next season, or even in January.At what point do we stop the mentality "we'll be competitive next year", and just get deals done to start competing already next season?
I feel we either need to admit that we will only go for a top 4 finish next year, wait on Kane and Mount, and spend our money on a goal keeper, Rice and a second striker this year, or go all-in and get the deals done (not realistic with our budget and owner situation).
100%. I've never changed my mind on this.You'd like him to stay?
Kovacic is also five years older and has only once played above 1900 minutes in the Premier League during a season over a period of 5 years. For comparison, Bruno usually plays 3100-3300 minutes per season in PL.Going higher than 50 million pounds
City got Kovacic - in my opinion a 'stronger' player - for 30 million pounds
You'd struggle to find Chelsea fans (who aren't Reddit or Twitter goons) who don't want him to stay.You'd like him to stay?
Decent player but Villa are loaded now, so they would likely play hardball the same way chelsea are.Dont think this is the end of the world. Look at the other players we spent years chasing... Hargreaves, Sancho... usually not worth the chase and he wouldnt be either. But very unlikely to be worth a lot more than £55 million - which is the case if we're paying it with 1 year left. That suggests hes an 80 million plus player if he has 2 or 3 years on his contract. No chance imo
Rather go for Jacob Ramsey who is similar
An Eriksen replacement....Then what is the predicted role for him? LCM with Bruno on the RCM in deeper role?
Age is a massive factor in the valuations.Going higher than 50 million pounds

He cost Chelsea 40£m. City paid £10m less than his value 3 years ago with 1 year remaining on his contract.Going higher than 50 million pounds

It's actually £25m + £5m in addonsHe cost Chelsea 40£m. City paid £10m less than his value 3 years ago with 1 year remaining on his contract.
Sounds like a good deal for Chelsea if you ask me.
He understands football, so obviously he rate him.Cool.
You rate him?
Of course. I have a working brain and eyes!Cool.
You rate him?
Yeah he was a total panic buy that we hadn't been working on all Summer. He also flopped horribly... Really embarrassing deal that.
So you think we signed Casemiro in 2-3 days after our first two games without doing any prep prior to it?
How the feck are we the slowest off the mark? Arsenal haven't signed anyone yet, Chelsea haven't yet, Spurs haven't yet, City are in a stronger position than anyone financially.Most annoying posts are these

It’s well documented we were in for Casemiro and in direct talks with him prior to the 4-0 drumming by Brentford. Apparently Fred knew about us being interested in Casemiro way back in the October of that year!I think we had no plans to spend big at all yeah. We weren’t linked with Casemiro at the time.
I’ll go one further if we pick up 6 points in those first 2 games we dont sign Anthony either.
Why is every single one of your posts condescending and seemingly looking down at everyone on here? Its exhausting to read, and surely someone as godly and wise must be tired of all us idiots?It’s well documented we were in for Casemiro and in direct talks with him prior to the 4-0 drumming by Brentford.

So unbeknownst to the all knowing members of the CAF, we do, do things on the sly and on the down low. But hey, don’t let that get in the way of a good narrative!
Quick twitter search and I found this.Do you have a reliable source for this?
Casemiro is obviously an exception, nobody knew he was even available. One of the greatest CDMs of his generation... and FDJ was never obtainable.

Ok so let’s say that’s true. Why the feck did we chase FdJ all summer then and why did the deal suddenly get done so late into the summer? Because we wasn’t signing both and they’re completely opposites in terms of styleIt’s well documented we were in for Casemiro and in direct talks with him prior to the 4-0 drumming by Brentford.

That's a lot of posters when you complain about anything in here. As though only their opinion is the only right one and we have to be positive all the time.Why is every single one of your posts condescending and seemingly looking down at everyone on here?

Is that on the basis that you fancy your chances of getting him to sign a new contract or that you'd rather have him for one more season than cash in?100%. I've never changed my mind on this.
