I thought Liverpool offered this amount and countered with $20 million. Now they are accepting the offer.
Same here. Specially considering he’s a left-footed CB.
A loan would be a safe bet.
Let’s say we move on 2 defenders, even 3, we’re still stacked deep enough in the defence department to be able to afford such a risk.
In the scenario he does regain his fitness & form, we‘d even be able to negotiate a potential future contract from a position of strength. Could probably lock him down on a moderate wage package without much friction from his end.
To be fair while he was appalling in the premier league he was apparently good for milan the last time he was there.Surely that isn't a mandatory clause!
Bakayako is one of the worst players I've ever seen play for a top Premier League club. He isn't worth 10m. He is the 'square root' of Eric Djemba Djemba. That bad.
If this loan deal goes through, Chelsea would have earned a whopping €11m in loan deals alone for one of their worst players!
And if the unbelievable €30m clause at the end of this loan spell is correct, they'd make an overall profit on fecking Bakayako. My mind is numb.
He may be a solid pro but he's also a gobshite that needs to save his public rants until after he retires. In fact, the manner of his outburst is anything but professional.Eh? Noble is a solid pro. Great buncholads.
He’s hardly stealing a living
Don’t suppose you’d get Noble. my step sons are both ST holders at West Ham and while they say he’s not international class or anything, he certainly gives the team leadership.
The same things a lot on here were praising Herrera for, only he is supposed to be world class and sorely missed
I’m not sure he’s altogether done yet.He’s a crock. A fantastic defender but always injured. There is a very good reason why Barcelona are looking to offload him.
The last thing we need is another injury ravaged centre back.
Would be a good bet on loan if we can't get Upmencano this summer. Hopefully allow us to Regulion and Sancho. Would be a great summer.
Oh, Juve are also checking out Cavani.
I get who you mean around the slowness of transfers but I’m looking at it from a positive perspective – I think we’re doing more due diligence to get the right characters in and we are generally driving harder bargains instead of chucking money around left right and centre.
Chelsea have done loads of deals, all power to them, but I think we will get three good deals done, which added to the four from last season represents good progress
Just my view, but our fan base needs to stop benchmarking as we will be continually miserable otherwise!
Also he plays for West Ham. Theyre fecking shit anyway.
No offence.
All hail king Ed Dumbward.Maybe are being diligent but that can be done before the window opens. A few phone calls here and there to check character. Doing it during a window takes up time.
I just feel our approach has no project management. Check out this article about trying to sign king for example. If king was our choice ahead of ighalo why are we trying to sign at the last minute?

Over-ruling ole on signing Bellingham
https://www.football365.com/news/woodward-overruled-solskjaer-man-utd-transfer-chase
It’s clear there’s no cohesion between them all. Harks back to the age old debate of getting a proper DoF in who can be working on deals and sounding people out, all year round to avoid last minute ‘winging it’
Contrasting reports about the Havertz fee
Bellingham was always going to choose BD over us. He knows he'll be out of the spotlight while being able to develop. It made sense to go there first. While I'm no fan of woodward, The story is bollocks basicallyAll hail king Ed Dumbward.
Who's that levelled at?
Why say it in the first place and then apologise if it causes offence?Anyone who may take offence.
They’ve spent far more on far worse

Very happy with this
I don’t get how Liverpool are so skint after the couple of seasons they’ve just hadLiverpool offered £8m rising to £10m and then a £12m offer. Newcastle's appears to be £13.75m + performance add ons.
Was wondering the same thing. They should be loaded after winning CL and the Premier league.I don’t get how Liverpool are so skint after the couple of seasons they’ve just had
Another Mendes inspired deal?Portuwolves again
It's going to be interesting who flops at Chelsea. No way all of their signings work out perfectly. My money would be on Ziyech or Werner being the big disappointments.
If you look at other clubs big signings Lukaku at Utd, Kaka at Madrid, Shevchenko, Torres & Morata at Chelsea, Coutinho and Dembele at Barca there is often a failure when it looks like a good signing.
They're still paying for the big signings. We may see them buying big again in a couple of years time, just in time to replace their star players. Let's hope they get rinsed when that happens.I don’t get how Liverpool are so skint after the couple of seasons they’ve just had
