Mehdi Benatia

chelsea interest surprises me.
maureen has already said their spending is done.
he would'nt lie would he?
or maybe they are after him on a free?

They're buying him with what they got for Lampard.

I knew there was something dodgy about that deal.

If they get Benatia for free that would be quite the accomplishment!

Chelsea already need to sell 1 foreign player since they are over thier quota. If Benatia comes in that would be 2. Though I think they need a CB, they can't really on Terry, Cahill and Zouma for the whole season. Ivanovic is more likely to still get the RB position.

Off to the swamp according to Jim White

 

[Rammyblues]

Rags are getting desperate, 60m if Roma have owt about them, and if the player has he will snub them.

Desperation

Desperation

But a great signing if they get him. Panic buys can work out if they're top players.

They'll overpay but this guy is one of the best CBs out there

Yes. He would be a rock in the middle of their 5 at the back. Let's hope Roma stick to their deadline and won't sell. They're not poor, and they can't replace him 2 weeks before the window shuts.

 

[Deepest Blue]

With the transfer window not far from shutting they may just have to stump up the market price rather than lowballing and getting agents to do their negotiating for them like them have been doing.

Get the warchest open or do one should be the message from Roma.

Benatia to rags? Nah, pretty unlikely. Why would he go to a club that's not in the UCL when his current club is? Makes no sense.
