No thanks
at you dismissing €17m as nonsense.The fact we’ve perused it for so long and have clearly spoken with his agent on multiple occasions is enough to tell me that he’s interested
It is looking like we are ready to spend around 40 million on an unproven 19-year old striker who might not even help us much this season. Don't think the money is the issue.
Signed 3 players you mean
MoanMouse strikes again
Not only that, we’ve actively signed another player from that agent, it’s not like he’s some unknown to us.

Ok. Now we panic
We knew 6 weeks ago he wasn’t coming! Bit late to be panicking now
To the Neves thread.
Orny confirming Chelsea interest now. Could be dark days ahead but fair play to them for spending upward of £250m in a window while we've spent about £62m
this keeps getting better!! A club in middle of ownership change…. Having someone with zero experience in charge of negotiations….. If they end up getting FDJ, god helps us ..
He’s still coming
We’ve been strung along all summer by Barca and De Jong, shouldn’t have been allowed to drag on this long. If Chelsea get a deal done at least that forces us to love on, although probably in panic mode.

In all seriousness, if Chelsea close this deal quickly (and that’s a big IF) then it would leave us looking silly
So Chelsea are gonna be spunking 50 mil on Cucurella and 70-80 on Fofana... and then another 70 on De Jong?
They have CL and London which seem to be important to him. They are hardly stable though.
But but but it's all bollocks cause Chelsea don't need him.
Are we though? I don't feel like there's a whole lot of traction behind that one and still conflicting stories.
Another day, another meltdown…
If there is a feeling that he’s going to Chelsea, from us, then we’ll put a brief out fairly soon.
For the first time in about 3 weeks, it’s genuinely a massive day today for this deal

The Chelsea interest being concrete hopefully speeds things along abit.
Did FDJ sign for Chelsea already?
Bizarre that people are taking such delight at the deal seemingly being in jeapordy
Well, at least he has a nice personality
Feck my life
No. It didn't make sense cause Chelsea didn't need him. And no genuine sources were saying they were interested until now.But but but it's all bollocks cause Chelsea don't need him.
I think it's more of people realising weeks ago this was probably off and being shot down in this thread.
I hate this club.
A genuine source said it yesterday, no?
That's on top of £80m+ for Sterling and Koulibaly. I mean, it's possible - new owner wanting to make a massive statement etc. But it feels...unlikely.
“Silly” is a big understatement.
As we’ve seen from this transfer window. Chelsea don’t read the room and I’m pretty sure have no indication that FDJ would prefer to move to them over us. But maybe they will pay his owed wages.
They can talk to Barca all they like, that part isn’t the issue.
But the same logic applies to Chelsea now. Why would they make a move without knowing if the player he wanted to come?
If they’re in then it means we’re out
Chelsea 5/4 favourites to sign him now
If he ends up joining Chelsea i will absolutely laugh my ass off.
I don't take delight in it. It's frustrating as all hell after the last couple of months. But the last couple of days this has been brewing and people didn't want to consider the possibility because of an injury prone 31 year old Kante and a 30 year old Jorginho, both with 1 year left on their contracts.
13 weeks and he goes to Chelsea we all know we can’t match them when it comes to negotiations and as soon as they ar run for someone they usually get them.
utterly baffling , we should have wrapped this up weeks ago they aren’t in negotiations without knowing if FDJ wants to come.
