If they're willing to pay 65m then let them. Although I imagine Chelsea will accept less if it's from abroad.Tweet

I don’t think just being a realist….If they're willing to pay 65m then let them. Although I imagine Chelsea will accept less if it's from abroad.
I'm not saying Mount would want it! But plenty of clubs will accept less if it's not a direct domestic competitor.I don’t think just being a realist….
You can have an open bid for £55m and you accept a £45m bid(just of your statement) and you force the player to go to the club he doesn’t want to go to for a lesser fee.
Explain that one please.

Well if these are their thoughts, this is exactly why the mugged off their fans last year with horrendous transfers and finished 12th.I'm not saying Mount would want it! But plenty of clubs will accept less if it's not a direct domestic competitor.
One of the reasons Chelsea are playing hardball so much is because we're a rival to the UCL spots next season.
Top clubs ain’t fighting over Rabiot… city haven’t swooped in to scoop up their annual clever bargains. We’ve pulled the plug in the same deal a year ago. There’s got to be solid reasons why this supposedly very good player is still wondering what his future holds.Yeah two of them is a possibility but there is significant price gap between Rice/Rabiot
The only example I remember is Luca Modric, Chelsea offered more in transfer fee to Spurs but Levy accepted a lower offer from Madrid as Levy didn't want to sell to a rival ..I don’t think just being a realist….

If I remember correctly it wasn't the same Window , Levy didn't sanction Modric sale to Chelsea a year prior to his move to Madrid I don't believe Chelsea even make a bid the year he moved to Madrid .The only example I remember is Luca Modric, Chelsea offered more in transfer fee to Spurs but Levy accepted a lower offer from Madrid as Levy didn't want to sell to a rival ..
So I think it's possible but not at 45m, Chelsea might accept a 45+5 from Bayern than to sell to United at 50+5
But I doubt Bayern will offer anything beyond 50m, United's offer is bigger, so Bayerns interest won't force United to offer more money.Chelsea saw our ‘Interest in Caicedo’, and raised us ‘Bayern interest in Mount’
My memory is hazy as well on that tooIf I remember correctly it wasn't the same Window , Levy didn't sanction Modric sale to Chelsea a year prior to his move to Madrid I don't believe Chelsea even make a bid the year he moved to Madrid .
Yeah but that didn’t happen. He refused to sell and Madrid brought him the year after. Stuff like that happens all the time.The only example I remember is Luca Modric, Chelsea offered more in transfer fee to Spurs but Levy accepted a lower offer from Madrid as Levy didn't want to sell to a rival ..

In the summer of 1995 we only signed a reserve goal keeper. We were 20th/last in the league in total spend and also last in net spend that season (as we sold our 3 star players). We went on to win the league.I'm sure its happened to loads of other clubs, but I was talking about us
Aug 31st 2023Whilst I am glad we are not bending over for Chelsea my fear is we end up signing nobody or messing around and in the end paying over the odds last minute instead
Any other Hot takes you might wanna get out of the system go ahead Please don't hold back .Aug 31st 2023
MUFC - "Alright, we'll give you £75m for Mount"

Kudus is a midfielder? Thought he was playing striker for Ajax when I’ve watched him.Tweet

Calm before the calm...Seriously slow news day
Hope so….this transfer window is boring as feck with Mount as our annual midfield saga. Needs a big all-in move for Kane to spice things upCalm before the calm...

Any suggestions who this 2nd midfielder would be? Guessing it's not Rabiot and there'd be some sort of fee involved.
Or, and it's a mad thought I know, it's utter bollocks?Kudus is not even a central midfielder. Who are the people who put the lists of targets together because Mount, Caicedo and Kudus could not be more different from each other.

Yeah it feels unbelievably meh so farHope so….this transfer window is boring as feck with Mount as our annual midfield saga. Needs a big all-in move for Kane to spice things up
No way we are paying big fees for two midfieldersCaicedo
I’ve seen a few posts here and tid bits online that if we make a few sales (Henderson, McT for example) then we can spend upwards of 300-400M. Think we could possibly do that.No way we are paying big fees for two midfielders
