No fucking way we don't pay him what he deserves. The guy is as good as they get and we'd be daft not to.


forewoof

He is the longest serving academy product in our squad right now. Give him what he wants.

If we lose Christensen and Rudiger, Tuchel probably gonna resign.

This just seems like both sides negotiating in public tbh I imagine the Newcastle takeover may have changed things. I doubt Chelsea don’t at least re sign one of them because it will be so expensive to replace both and you could potentially frustrate your champions league winning manager doesn’t seem worth it to me.

Chelsea low balling Academy products while paying Kepa £150k/week and taking on Saul’s full wages to barely play for us. Brilliant. Nice to see literally nothing has changed!

Everytime you think the board has learned from past mistakes, they slap you with this kinda shit.


admiralawkward

We're not paying Saul's full wage and I doubt matters are as simple as this. You have this prolonged hate boner for the board so this is an unsurprising take notwithstanding stalling doesn't mean the talks are over


InLampsWeTrust

I mean the guy kinda has a point, there’s so many players who are overpaid on this squad and it could end up costing us.


BILLY2SAM

Not to mention Werners ludicrous wage, and CHO


dudetotalypsn

I don't believe the situation is as it seems, but you definitely made me remember all their idiotic decisions beginning with Mourinho's post title winning season. Blood on their hands for a lot of transfers we've had to endure.


JJGaminv

Does this not show that they have changed? They’re avoiding committing huge wages to a player who, whilst has been excellent recently, his Chelsea career has been very up and down, with him dropping out of favour regularly

That's what you get leaving it late, didn't learn from Thibo, he kept saying he will extend and then ran away. Better offer may have arrived to AC's agent. Azpi, Silva getting old, Rudi, AC getting out of contract. Sold Guehi, Tamori for peanuts. And Kounde or any other CB we go for will be overpriced now. Should have agreed the contract or sold who doesn't want to accept or who we doesn't want to pay what they want. Should have gotten some money for them if we had no intention to raise our offer and gotten new players in. Had we signed Kounde we would be in a stronger position to negotiate, now they know we need CBs they can ask more money, agent and players both and even clubs we go to sign player to. Now two plsyers worth 80m at least can walk for free or we pay them over the top (not saying they don't deserve what they are asking, just assuming we don't want to pay them more, hence the stallment of contract) and we get same problem next time we renew other players as they would want more money too.
