And if they don’t then they haven’t. If we sign De Jong and a centre back then suddenly United are having the much better window. For all the talk of how poor we’ve been in the market, Chelsea haven’t signed anyone yet.

For the type of wages we offer though, which CL teams wanted either? Were we not in the CL when Pogba came?
I think he's upset at Ronaldo leaving so he's taking his negativity here too, if you read his posts in that thread you'd know what I mean!
Would rather have De jong over an 37 year old playerCould actually be an interesting point that Chelsea won't do this as there is no way on earth they get Ronaldo if they do
I think there is a big difference from being out fo it once or twice to being out of it every second year.
We have proved we aren't a club that can build something. Why would a player think it's any different now.
So really it makes perfect sense we'd have to convince them
Are they though? They’ve been linked to Kounde for about two years and Sterling has been linked for weeks. Neither have been signed yet.
What, like all the other transfers they've completed this summer already?? Oh wait...
De Ligt, Raphinha also...
Please don’t let facts get in the way of our fans drooling over another team’s supposed superiority in the market.

What do you have to be positive about for next season? It's been a shitshow of a window in which we've not improved the starting XI in any single position and the glazers have saved nearly £1m a week in wages.
Our worst season ever and we've shown zero ambition to substantially improve aside from chasing De Jong all summer to no avail. All of the teams around us have shown more ambition and have brought in starters for their team. Sorry if optimism is at an all time low.
People definitely confusing their new board with Roman and Maria etc, who just didn't care about money and threw it about. This Todd guy definitely smells a lot like Woodward, apparently wants his first signing at Chelsea to be 'iconic' (Ronaldo). Should delay and delay and delay to get De Jong over the line
Damn it I want this to happen so bad, but im getting more and more worried its not going to...
And I’m sure plenty more if we were as glued to these negotiations as we are with United transfers. There’s no doubt United are slow operators but I don’t get why people to have to concoct notions that every other team is super efficient to make us look worse.
Even if we look at City and Liverpool as the best run clubs, they’ve had their feck ups. Sanchez and Van Dijk for example.
Oh do behave for fecks sake!
Sterling was agreed what? 2 weeks ago? Still hasn’t signed. Competent my ass.
Sick to the back teeth of people taking dumps on the club. It’s fecking tiring!
….& to the think posters were quick enough to write off reports of United hijacking the Nunez deal
FdJ spoke highly of Tuchel when he was close to a move to PSG back in the day. Tuchel probably always been interested since.
I've seen him speak highly of ETH somewhere before also.
The last thing we need is another crap midfielder.
Unless Kovacic or Jorginho are on their way out, I'm not buying these Chelsea links.
Dithered with what? Did you expect us to just pay whatever Barca owe him in wages or what? Overpay again like we did so many times during the last decade?
The same poster in October: “Why do we always get rinsed and cucked in the market, we need to hire that geez from Liverpool as DOF” or something.
Jeez
What have we done wrong in your view?
Would be a major L if he ends up at Chelsea at this point, but maybe murda Murtough can still pull it off, hopefully
You'd probably have said the same about us buying Veron with Scholes and Keane back in the day, or Hargreaves with Scholes and Carrick. It's what big clubs do. Look at City's depth.

Whether you care to admit or not, the club have constantly failed. There's nothing to suggest this will change this summer.
They're pulling the 'say somebody else is interested in him' lever. That's all.
You need to learn to not let this stuff bother you. It might be true, so what? It's one player.
Besides, we've had the same info about us being close to a deal being tweeted out for weeks now. The whole thing is a repetitive, boring mess.
I didn't think Jamie Jackson is a decent source?
De Jong wanting money owed to him by Barcelona, totally our fault. Sack Pereira.
De Jong being on holiday - why didn't we stop him? Incompetent club.
This is why he's working 16 hour days to expedite the transfer.
Apart from there being a completely new structure of people in charge yeah
And us signing the guys we're after more often than notApart from there being a completely new structure of people in charge yeah
Mate we are no length in to the transfer window, it only opened a week ago! We've signed one player, and are very likely to sign eriksen, Martinez and De Jong. The window is going just as well if not better than nearly all the other clubs in the league.
And the window is open until 1st September ffs, nearly 2 months from now, so get a grip seriously.
Certain posters every time a negative tweet or opinion is posted ....
....They have a decent MF with Connor whatshisface who was at Crystal Palace also returning for a place in the starting XI
Sounds more like La Porta whipping up the Spanish press to get us to cough up more $$$$.
Saying that we have been here before where we think we are at an advanced stage only for some other chumps to gazump us. I'm tired Robbie

Says who?
Should create a redcafe bingo drinking gameThis thread is so tedious now
I already know what's coming each day
"Mes Que un Club lol"
"Just pay Barca what they want. Also, pay De Jong what he's owed from Barca, and move on,"
"FdJ has been underwhelming, anyway. Just get Tielemans."
"Levers"
"See? He said they're not selling him."
"He doesn't want to come"
"It's over. Move on"
"Get a grip. It's just politics"
"I'm getting (insert here) Maria vibes"
"He's not a DM."
Its not bothering me.
Me.
He's not reliable. Pretty sure he changed his piece on Eriksen rejecting us pretty sharpish too.
If Kovacic was on his way out, we should be all over that. Similar strengths to Frenkie. Partly why I think this is BS — wouldn’t really work together they’re both pretty similar players.
You seemed agitated that somebody was posting a negative tweet, that's all.
