It’s like our club hates negotiating for players

Been like that for a while now. Either release clause or someone that’s been flogged around to clubs and even when we try to negotiate we gross overpay for a player (Ben White) or mess it up/offend teams ala Luis Suarez, Cabaye etc.

I still think Spence is pointless when we have Norton-Cuffy.

I'm really excited about Norton-Cuffy after watching those highlight clips you shared in the loan thread. He needs another season cooking in the Championship probably, but what a talent. Going to be immense.

Why would Chelsea agree to any fair negotiation to strengthen us? The only players they were happy to give away were like washed up Cech. They didn't even want to give Ba to us in 2013/14.

Or it makes it easier.

Assume that there is a clause where one of the parties can get rid of the contract with a penalty, it can make it easier to negotiate with Chelsea. Assume that Chelsea needs to pay Roma 20£m if they terminate the contract, it means that if we would bid 60£m, Chelsea would make 40£m instead of 35£m and also receive its money immediately.


Still rather have Jesus and DCL to replace Lacazette and Nketiah.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Oh no. With Osimhen also likely to stay, our options have become very limited. Only Gabi Jesus can save us now.

That was more Mourinho being a **** and trying to stop us from signing Demba Ba, I don’t think Roman cared if he left Stamford Bridge since he wasn’t needed. Mata and Matic moving to Utd were two other examples where they couldn’t care less whether they moved.

José Mourinho hints at complicating any Petr Cech deal with Arsenal | José Mourinho | The Guardian

Chelsea’s manager José Mourinho has hinted at complicating any Peter Cech to Arsenal deal and would like his pick of the Gunners squad

If the reports are to believed then Jose is not stopping Tammy from moving back to England.

Anyways, if we have that sort of thinking then we’d never sign anyone. Liverpool didn’t want to sell Suarez to us but I’m sure they would have done so had we went in with a 60m+ bid initially however we annoyed them with the 40m + £1 bid. Same goes for Cabaye but we disrespected Newcastle with a “derisory” offer.

The negotiation skills at the club has been off for a while now which is why we’re reactive and tip toe our way around the market with players who have release clauses, getting flogged around and have a year left on their deals rather than go for what we actually need.

Obvious reasons = Too much work for Edu.

Chill out. The man need some space in the calender for important stuff.

The relegated teams usually have a few good players but it's pretty slim pickings this year.

Aarons, Cornet, Collins, McNeil, Roberts, Pedro, Dennis, Sarr, have I missed any?

None of them really doing anything for me except maybe Roberts, I think he us really underrated, decent defender and has a massive engine, better than Cedric and Aarons in my opinion. I think McNeil is a decent footballer but we have absolutely no need for a left winger.

There’s also Cucho Hernandez, Joao Pedro, Pope, Imran Louza and Ernie McCracken.

Sarr would be a solid Pepe replacement.

A strong agree on Roberts fwiw

 

[The_Playmaker]

Not a good source. Haven't seen him play, but seems like a Tomi type statistically. Wins everything in the air.

@2Smokeyy acting like he's some technical director of his made-up soccer club on a video game here.

Not sure this is politically correct..

 

[GLITCH]

Reports say he's signed for Napoli.
