£15m fee being reported allegedly but would have a buy back attached.

He wouldn't be cover for Mings, he'd be cover for Pau, Konsa and Carlos.

He has had two and half seasons on loan in the Championship and half a season in the Belgian League. I guess we should send Luiz back to City then, he had less experience and also had a buy back clause.

Thoughts? Would be a decent option to come in as back up and learn under more experienced players, then eventually overtake them.

Agreed. I think the only exception to that would be an RB.

We never were. We've already dropped £35m on a left footed CB, we aren't spending that on another one.

But Acura has quite literally played LM for a good chunk of his career. So, he likely will play there at some point.

Why are people still clinging to the idea we’ll get either Felix or Torres? Felix doesn’t want to come here, and Torres as been given the no. 7 shirt at Barca, he’s going nowhere.

Moves at Aston Villa could lead to a new offer for Marcos Acuna. Lucas Digne is now one step away from joining Al Hilal until 2026. Digne's departure would lead to a 15-20M offer being made for Marcos Acuña #TDSDeporte #SevillaFC That quoted fee seems quite steep. I was expecting no more than 10.

That and you aren’t going to turn down the PL at 32.

What a clearing in the woods. Don’t care how talented he is, we should steer clear. Let him go to Saudi’s. They’re the only ones that’ll have him.

His completion video in a few season will be full of Watkins missed chances

Our LB wasn’t much better and is on twice the wages of the RB

No, someone better suited to Emery’s system.

There is definitely something more to it. At least City tried to be discreet in their FFP shenanigans. This is just so blatant, Boehly know they’ll only get a slap on the wrist. And it’s also why the players they are sign I are all early 20s, if they do end up with a lengthy transfer ban, they have a massive squad which will all still be in their 20s when ban expires.

Seems a low ball offer. But he is nearly 32, player might force the move. How many more opportunities will he get to move to the PL?

Good thread posted in the Villa Transfer thread, thought I’d discuss it here. The suggested tweet is that Boehly is doing this deliberately, intentionally knowing they will breach FFP. Why would he do that you may ask? To call UEFA/Premier Leagues bluff? So far FFP sanctions have just been fines or a transfer ban. Would the footballing authorities go as far to actually expel or ban a team? Boehly thinks they wouldn’t. It’s the only logical explanation. What sane club owner would completely dismantle a title winning team 2 years after winning the CL? Boehly wants Chelsea to be punished, then he’s likely going to take UEFA/PL to court.

That’s one long ass tweet. I get that Chelsea aren’t currently in Europe, but unless they plan on finishing outside the top 10 again, they likely will be in Europe next season?

I thought UEFA already closed the loophole Chelsea are exploiting?

Not in Gala squad for this evenings match. Looks done, so long as he passes medical.

What a wasted career, should have stayed at Barca, would probably have won a few more CL.

Is this real?

What’s Chelsea’s end game here? Are they and the Saudi’s just trying to break the transfer market? We know Boehly is a fan of the Super League. It would appear they are just going keep spending until they’re banned or kicked out, then they’ll restart the Super League with the Saudi’s.

ACL rupture number 3 confirmed

We could probably pay the £35m transfer fee, but not the £200k+ a week 8 year contract.
