Mirth

15m really isn't a bad deal all things considered - but he's going to be useless in a couple of seasons.

Clrnc

15m is actually ok. Not inclusive of sign on fee though

Claudius

Is there a sign-on fee? If there isn't, you can almost afford to eat the final year of his contract, or hope that a Chinese club pays you £5m for him to go away.

We end up with

1) Willian - Aubameyang - Pépé
2) Saka - Nketiah - Nelson
3) Martinelli

Assuming we sell Lacazette. That is quite strong for next year. And then hopefully for 2021-22, one of Saka or Martinelli has moved ahead of Willian.

MistaT

If he's on 100k we should be able to move/loan him in that 3rd year if need be.

Kel Varnsen

Good signing. He's better than both Pepe and Saka.

Claudius

Take away Kia and it's fine. I think Kia is what is getting people's backs up.

speedy

He wages probably dip in the last season and we can probably loan him to Italy then. even if his wgaes drop to 70K and we can loan him and someone plays 40k for the last season.

Sicario

Chelsea fan on why he’s happy to see Willian go (from 3 min mark):

I find the front4 in the 3rd formation option interesting with Willian as CAM behind the extant front3.
Would be happier with a Partey-Ceballos CM pairing.

Romano says pretty much done for 3 years

Funny to see when we were linked with him in January everyone was less accepting

For me, that was before i viewed saka as a legit talent. His emergence coupled with more encouraging performances from pepe and to a lesser extent nelson have made me more amenable to an experienced stopgap coming in to ease the pressure on those guys development. The quoted 100k/pw changed my view as well. I assumed it would something in the 150k-200k band

We tend to start rationalising moves like this when they begin looking like a reality. I remember it very clearly with Welbeck too and I was guilty of it myself with Luiz last summer.

It's much less stressful mate.

Willian >>> Luiz >= Welbeck

It's true but I don't think there's anything wrong with that, once it gets serious you just look at all angles including the positives.

I was against signing Sanchez, Pepe and fucking Auba too initially because of my initial perceptions of them but by the time we signed them I was all in.

Clrnc

You are against signing Alexis and Auba? Dafug 😆

Reminds me of when Rex is furious that we are in for Suarez

We mostly all had to evolve on Auba. I called him a weaker, shorter, quicker Adebayor...

Clrnc

That was before he came good for Dortmund though. The 2nd time he was linked with us after proving himself it was different.

I said "No thanks" 😆 . Fucking hell, do I know my stuff.
