It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Bollocks. We have no reason to accept add ons.

depends on how easily achievable they are

55m is good, actually

 

[Centurions]

£45m, i know we won't get any more as he's heading into his final year but imo, Chelsea have a bargain

£55million not £45mill.

Since all of our incomings are quoted full price including add-ons I can't see why we shouldn't do it as well.

City said they wouldn’t sell Ake unless it was an incredible deal

When reputable journalists at reputable outlets start reporting fees, you can believe it. But these days the smaller fish seem happy to make things up completely.

See that knob at the Yorkshire Evening Post insisting that we're paying 55m for Phillips. Even Romano keeps saying 50m. Whereas literally everyone else is saying 42+3.

Going to start charging 50 euros to go to the urinal and 500 euros to take a dump at the camp nou.

Is that on the pitch? A few would be tempted.

'Around £45m'. The language is deliberately vague. They could pay 50 and the journo could still say they were right.

The main factor is the availability of a Replacement which they can buy

Agree

Yep at least 60m chelsea are the desperate one

Txiki is going to need a bigger vault for all the cash coming in this summer.

It would be, if that's what we're getting. Not so much if it included add ons which would only be met if Chelsea beat us to titles.

 

[RayCTID]

Not much difference to what we paid Liverpool Football club. A good fee considering the time left on his contract.

this is the only thing keeping my head from going on mars

 

[Trickyblues]

Lol if Chelsea pay 50+ he’s gone

 

[cityunnxt]

if city are offloading so many players does that mean they have good replacement or a big signing lined up ?? I just can't get my head around ney deal which certain people are talking about it just isn't going to be out of the blue the whole transfrworld would be over it by now if it was happening

If this Sterling news gets confirmed I'm hoping the Cucu deal doesn't drag on. Having him in for pre-season would be massive. 10 days. As the wummers would say tick tack

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Turns out those numbers have come not from a journalist but from a Chelsea fan with a podcast. Mark it down as bullshit.
