Re: Summer Transfer Thread

[Kick]

Like I said, Carlo won't be in charge till the 3rd. We've got a meeting with his agent next week, We could have the whole deal wrapped up before Carlo even sits his ass down in the managerial chair.

[Shed]

July 3rd according to who? You?

[Kick]

The Madrid fans said he won't be in charge until then because of Tax reasons.

[Shed]

Sounds like a nice fairytale.

[Kick]

PSG are not getting rid of Carlo until they have a replacement, this is proving difficult for them as so many managers have rejected them. If they cannot find a new Manager, Carlo will remain at PSG for another year which means Madrid have to find a new manager. Only then will they start looking for new players. This could take a while.

Real are not out of the starting blocks. We are without a doubt, the front runners.

[Shed]

PSG are on the verge of appointing Laurent Blanc and with that, Carlo will be free to go. And even if they weren't, there's no way he'd be staying there next season.

[Kick]

Blanc's agent said in the press that a deal is yet to be struck, it's not on the verge of being completed.

[Shed]

As I said, whether it is or it isn't, they WILL find a replacement and Carlo will be off.

This article explains why Ancelotti won't become RM manager until the 3rd. Two weeks away.

The final of the Confed's cup is on the 30th of June, Plenty of time for Chelsea to have Cavani fly to London to sort of personal terms, sign a contract and say he is happy with his choice.

All the while, Carlo is stuck in Paris.

[Shed]

Things are clearly being stalled on purpose as his agent has been instructed to hold out to see if Madrid get involved.

Or he is focusing on the Confed's cup? We don't even know if a deal has been struck yet, All I am saying is we have 2 weeks on anything Madrid can do. We have the upper hand, we are the front runners.

[Shed]

We don't know anything for certain.

[Kick]

We don't know anything for certain.

And yet you keep assuming he'll choose Madrid over us.

[Shed]

As 9 out of every 10 players would, yes, it's a reasonable assertion to make.

[Kick]

It's also safe to assume they'll splash 63m on a CF when they already have Benzema and CR7?

[Shed]

They can sooner splash that amount than we can. We have FFP to worry about, they all but don't.

FFP is for all of Europe. Do you think we'd be in this race if we couldn't afford it? We have a new tv coming in to play and just signed a 30m pound a season deal with Adidas. We can afford it.

[Shed]

Madrid have monstrous revenue, have the backing of Spanish banks, and are never in a million years going to be kicked out of playing in Europe anyway due to their status as a club. Chelsea aren't in that situation. The Adidas deal doesn't kick in until next season and the likelihood that we'd spend £54m on one player ever again is a fantasy. Even if there is a fee agreed, it's likely below that sum and if Madrid want to gazump us, they can and will at any time.

Chelsea have a billionare owner who could ask any of his billionare friends to through a massive sponsorship their way to pay for the transfer, just like City or PSG have done. If we want him, money won't be an issue.

[Shed]

Those are illegal under the regulations. Looks like you're pretty eager to get booted out of Europe.

Then how did City and PSG manage to do it?

[Shed]

They're both under investigation. And the rules haven't fully kicked in yet.

There are loop holes and if the rules have fully kicked in, that gives us a bigger chance of getting away with it, no?

[Shed]

So you want to use hypothetical loopholes and more dirty money to be able to continue on spending ourselves into oblivion? No thanks. I'd much rather the club start running itself a little more responsibly and with an eye on the future.

No, I never said that. I simply said, if we want Cavani bad enough, we can make the money to get him, Money is not a problem for us, that is why we're still in the race for him.

I have always maintained I wanted Gomez because of his price and age, it would be the responsible buy but we are going for Cavani, so I support the decision.

We have Lukaku to step up in a few years so I imagine this will be our last big splash on a CF. We may as well make it while we can.
