On us if we miss out, but what happens to Chilwell didn't he move to Chelsea for big money?

They either don’t rate Chilwell or his Injury is more serious than thought? Why blow another £50m on a lb when they have bigger issues in other positions.

You do understand what’s happened here, don’t you?

We had a valuation that we weren’t willing to go above. Brighton had a valuation they weren’t willing to go below. The two didn’t meet, so we didn’t do a deal.

Chelsea just walked in and paid the asking price with no negotiation. Of course it’s easy to do a deal in a day if that’s your approach.

We weren’t trying for months. By all accounts, our first bid was in the last fortnight. Brighton said no. We put in a second and said take it or leave it. They left it, and we stopped trying as we weren’t interested at that price.

I don’t know why you’d find that embarrassing.

I’d be more embarrassed if our Club did what Chelsea did and just paid whatever every greedy owner wants them to out of desperation.

You do realise we have 0 natural senior LB’s in the squad?

Plan B. is there a release clause on Luke shaw‘s contract ?

Release clause? I hope there's a sanity clause...

Still can’t believe we have walked away over £10m considering the money we have made from sales this year. If we don’t sign a LB it’s a disgrace.

We don’t know the ins and outs but we got Haaland and Phillips for under market value so if we go slightly over with the final piece in our jigsaw, what’s the harm

 

[eyalluvitt]

Why are they after Cucarella when they already have Chilwell.

Strange also they are happy to pay £50m for Cucarella but not Ake

Two 50m left backs on the books , surely the media will go apoplectic

I'm very calm at the minute

Me too Ray, that why I'm swerving the Transfer Forum for a while.

 

[Frankboff]

love how we let zinni go 2 weeks ago and we arent any closer to replacing him

Nice one

Won’t be sinking in at all. If Cucu wanted city that badly he would be at city. It’s not the clubs fault his valuation is unrealistic. Advanced talks with Chelsea tell its own story. He handed in a transfer request yesterday and today he is off to the chavs lol.

Everyone is so focused on the fee. Whatever alternative reality you are in please stay.

How could he have gone to city if you would not pay the fee. Are you expecting him to pay the difference.

Release clause? I hope there's a sanity clause...

Everyone knows there ain’t no Sanity Clause ;-)

What games did Brighton play?

Goal post moved on fee. Started out £35 now it’s £50m+. I would call that a game unless bloom knew Chelsea was prepared to pay £50m from the start and could hold City over a barrel.
