It's quiet... summer 2018.

The top players will now see out their contracts looking at Sanchez's £500k/week for 5 years

But wouldn't agents miss out on transfer fees?

I kind of don't want Leao. I don't think we have room.

Gimme an M

Gimme an S......

Mad Eyed Screamer ? F*** me he would demand The Smiths songs played before and at HT before he signed :)

Don't think we do for next season, but he could go out on loan or stay where he is for a year and come into the squad when Sergio goes in a year or two.

They'll still get their 10% of the contract

Going for Bailly, looking/scouting Weigl, looking/scouting at Werner and Fred deal concluded. Probably end up with just Bailly and Fred PLUS replacements. That's my guess.

I'd be more than happy with that too by the way.

Can see City waiting another year for Hazard, as will all the big clubs. I don’t think he will sign an extension at Chelsea.

Chelsea are not like Arsenal. They are well run and sensible. If Hazard makes it clear he’s not signing and extension Chelsea will sell and realise the value of their asset and they won’t be hoodwinked into a swap for Ashley Young!

Quite possible that given transfer window closes first week of August or something like that we are going to make 1st bids for some targets like 2nd or 3rd of August, and then another bid 2-3 days later then when it wont work we just say we dont have more time.

But it might be a lesson for any future club that deals with us that we will be like that and you risk having MAhrez-like unrest if you dont accept our late bids...

Really hope one of them is Werner. Phenomenal talent. Hopefully we get the deals agreed before The World Cup

I would assume that pep and Txiki want the business done ASAP so there is no pissing around during the tournament or rushing just before the season starts
