Can't afford Lingard, but considering a player Spurs were supposedly after for 50m. Hilarious.

Weird post, unless its an inside joke between you guys.
Unless you misunderstood me?
Seen some others semi-to-low reliable journos talking about a possible loan with an option to buy.
Which could bridge the gap to getting Rice next year. I'd rather buy Neves permanently since he is in good form and knows the PL, but maybe they wont go for Rice next year then.
Dont think Rice is worth the price tag anyhow , but english tax and caps etc.
For me it feels like the Alex's Sanchez transfer all over again. It would be really funny if we gazumped Man City again.
Southampton going to develop and sell some full backs and he’s a top prospect by all accounts.

If Chelsea get Saul, and we end up getting no midfielders, I'm going to become the Joker.
trying to lower our "10pounds and a bag of potatoes" demand, I see
Do Chelsea even need more midfielders?
Think Neves is less of a risk than Saul, but ofcourse needs more money upfront
Saúl Ñíguez will leave Atlético. The formula would be assignment with payment + purchase option. Chelsea is pushing a lot and keeps going but watch out for Manchester United who has entered the bidding for him

We need someone to play in the absence of Kante, both when he has a knock and to rest him.
Ahh, thanks. Saul isnt quite that type of player but I'm sure he'll work good still.
Chelsea's midfield options are going to be insane!
Wasn’t that Vlahović?
Why would age determine ££? I get it that we shouldn't be spending the earth on him but why should age be a factor if he is good enough?
Kane going for £100m+ at 28
Sure Kane is world class but that proves that age doesn't matter when it comes to price.
£50M is too much for Trips, 40M, even 30M is too much. But £20M+ is a decent enough price for Trippier.
I just wouldn't go too far.
I just find it weird that we focus too much on a players age these days. Why does that even matter?
Not the same player
When money’s no object, you can never have enough players
Please let this be true
You do know we are well into positive net spend this transfer window?
Age is always a factor, when has it not been? There are always a number of determining factors when looking to buy somebody.
Age, number of years left on contract, form, injury history.
Added to that, the value that the selling team put on him.
For us, it also includes wages and squad positions. We have put Williams out on loan, but we still have Shaw, Telles, Dalot and AWB as our full backs.
Up until now, Atleti have reportedly asked for 30m, 34m or close to that, depending on where you look.
Age is always a determining factor for teams buying when looking at the asking price. When has it not been? And its not just nowadays, its always been. Bizarre you would think otherwise.
Regardless of all that, I wouldnt care if we sign Trippier for 30m, however my point is I cannot see United paying 20m+ for a 31 year old RB or Atleti selling him for less than 30m. Would be happy if I was incorrect on that.
Yeah, cause you can actually sell players. We're run like a business not a football club. It's just a very bad business!

The order of the list makes no sense..
1. 18 year old who won't play more than 10 games
2. Loan for a player who would probably be a starter
3. PL proven, best fit (arguably), starter

Greenwood has shown that this is sort of argument is utter nonsense.

There should be restrictions in place for how many over 23 players clubs can have on their books.
Chelseas bloated squad and loan system is absurd. There is no way they should be allowed to have that many players and still be bringing in more.
