The more reliable United journos said we spoke to his agents ages ago but weren't willing to pay the wages he was asking for as we considered him a squad option. I guess we're trying to get away from having a 3rd choice CB who cost £80m and is paid £200k pw, and we'd probably need to shift the current squad CBs anyway.
This is just shite put out by Chelsea to make their fans think they’ve pulled off a great deal……blowing smoke under the new managers arse…..just deflection on their part to dampen the dismay of their fans at the new manager appointment
