Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2022 rumours thread

“Chelsea may move for Manchester United and England defender Harry Maguire, 29, if they are unable to sign French centre-back Wesley Fofana, 21, from Leicester. (Evening Standard)”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

I’m no expert on Chelsea but didn’t they let Rudiger go on a free this summer? He’s better than both of them

So true

So true

Funny how it seems

Why do I find it hard to write the next line?

They couldn't offer him a new contract because of the sanctions Roman Abramovich was under at the time.

Is there a sell-on clause?

So Newcastle are about to buy Usak from Real Sociedad (according to talk sport) for 60 million but would not pay this for Maddison?

Maddison is clearly only worth 3/5th of an Anthony Gordon

It’s Isak.

They had plenty of time to sort it out before then, he (Rudiger) was able to talk to other clubs and sign a pre-contract in January, they just weren't prepared to pay him what he wanted.

The Mercury is saying that Chelsea have pulled the plug and are moving on to other targets.

I think that's lifted from the sun article that said the same. Apparently other targets are....Harry Maguire. So it's obviously nonsense.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Heaven forbid that The Mercury should have an original thought.

I don't believe that. I haven't seen them linked to a likely alternative option.

They're deliberately stringing it out because they know we need to sell. I'm actually impressed with us that we've not blinked and I hope we continue that way.

BR clearly wants us to sell ASAP but that's not the smart position.

Hopefully we'll get to the position where Chelsea finally make an acceptable bid in the last half hour before the deadline. We get all the paperwork sorted and the money in the bank. Chelsea prepare the registration papers and have them ready to send. Just at that moment there's a terrific thunderstorm in southwest London which momentarily knocks out the power. Chelsea are sitting back, celebrating the capture and smoking whatever it is they smoke in southwest London when suddenly the football secretary realises that they have not received the usual out-of-hours reply from the FA. He hurriedly sends off the papers again...



...and they arrive fourteen seconds too late.





**** you Fofana and **** you Chelsea!

 

[SJN-Fox]

However, in view of it being Chelsea, the authorities make an exception. **** you Leicester.

Even better if . . .

Chelsea leave it to the last minute and in a frantic panic in the final moments of the window, we substitute Amartey's name into the contract instead of Fofana.

Now that would be a giant '**** you' to Chelsea.

Love it -

 

[Robin127]

So they'd be replacing Rudiger and Christensen with Maguire and Amartey...
