MorataFC:
accounting loss toward FFP? You confused me kpatapata, does it mean that we will break FFP rules? Considering we didn't buy any player last season, so I think spending "double" this season shouldn't be a problem.

Kepa alone won't break FFP rules but since we are planning other expenditure like Havertz et al, every little helps. Marina has this mode of operating of never making accounting loss on a player. If you bid for less than a players carrying value, she will never sell even if the player is useless, she would rather loan the player out indefinitely until his contract expires.

chic2pimp:
Thunder will seriously faya you tonight no be joke.

Calm down, let's arrange swap with Bakayoko.

I'm only coming back to a recommendation I made two years ago.

Ibime:
Left-back, you did not suggest Theo Hernandez if you could not get Benjamin Mendy.

Greatihex:
oga ibime, please don't try to defend that guy. if what i saw on sunday and tonight is what he is about, then i can boldly tell you that abraham will never make it at chelsea.
he is always in front of the defenders and can't make a run behind the defense to receive a through pass. he lacks positional sense. he is just an inferior version of batshuayi



Oga Ibime, this.

He was our best striker this season and contributed massively to get us to UCL. It's time to upgrade. Our ambitions are now beyond top 4 finish

Greatihex:
Oga Ibime, I am still praying for Abraham to make it at Chelsea. Because if he does not, be ready for me to drag you for his matter.

Why?

Roland17:
Keep off!!!!

Oya, take £15m plus the Bakayoko you guys want

BlueAngel444:
he signed a new contract that increased his release clause.

In that case, Chelsea should forget Oblak. You start paying a Goalkeeper that kind of money, within one year Pulisic, Havertz, Werner and co will start asking for same and we will soon be having De Gea/ Gareth Bale/ Alexis Sanchez type wages that we can't get rid of.

BlueAngel444:
Why Oblak would reject more money at Chelsea??

Chelsea went for Oblak last two summers, he didn't join, instead ATM gave him £350k per week salary increase and made him captain, what will Chelsea offer Oblak now?

Remember when Madrid where chasing De gea, same shit happened Madrid kept chasing de gea till we signed courtios, what did united do, give de gea a new contract of 350k the rest is history.

How much will or should Chelsea offer Oblak, to make him consider leaving ATM to Chelsea. The highest earner in Chelsea is £200k per week I think.

From the beginning of this Oblak story and rumor, as long as I haven't read Oblak wants to leave or ATM need to sell. My hope and mind is not on it at all.

Recall what occured even with Griezmann that wanted to leave.

Is Oblak on £350k? I find that hard to believe.

If that's the case, the Cillesen swap would be more viable than paying a Goalkeeper almost double everyone else. If Oblak then flops, you have an even bigger liability than Kepa.

BlueMann:
True, but I personally wouldn't want to get rid of Chris, cause I know how good he can be when he's at the top of his game. Let the staff try to get him to bulk up, and he should address his inconsistency.

Let him stay and fight for a starting shirt. If next season he still doesn't come good, then we can move on.

But then again, the club may not want want to rid Rudiger cause of his transfer influence like u pointed out, and also the fact that he's the most vocal. Zouma has been our best defender and may have saved his career, while the worst that can happen to Tomori is a loan move.

It will be interesting to see what the club would do in the defence this summer.

Chris does not look like someone that will bulk up. He's been playing professionally for 5 years now in top league and hasn't done so, and we also have Tomori lining up behind him that can already do an equal or better job. It's not just the strength I have concern with but his lack of concentration and losing his man everytime.

Tammy is another one, they should either ship out or give the summer to work on his physicality and hold up play.

Rudiger is not as instrumental to getting these guys. At the end of the day, money talks and as Werner said he was speaking to Lampard everyday. His main consideration would have been how Lampard wants to use him, his career prospects and money first before thinking about Rudiger. Where Rudiger may be important is in helping them settle into the country and dressing room, rather than convincing them to transfer.

Personally I would get a left footed centre-back to partner Zouma like Magalhaeas at Lille and have Tomori as first sub. With the way I see Lampard playing next season with very high-line, speed of centrebacks will be very important and that's where Magalhaeas and Tomori have advantage. Magalhaeas also brings that left-side balance with better physicality to handle set pieces.

I also wouldn't mind Lloyd Kelly as 2nd choice LB and 2nd choice LCB. For under £20m, there is a player that can cover 2 positions.

BlueAngel444:
There's also loaning Kepa out for a year then selling him for £40m
Oblak's release clause is about £110, €120m, if we add £60m or even £70m plus Kepa ATM might consider it. Even if Kepa is trash they can buy a quality player with that kind of cash. But the real question is if Oblak will leave and if ATM will sell. It's not Oblak wants to leave or ATM have to sell.

Honestly considering what you said, buying Oblak for £60m + Kepa i.e his release clause, his contract would be at least 7years (that's what Kepa signed, maybe 8 ) about £15m per year. Totally worth it.

Then again worse case scenario we buy Onana £27m, 5years and couldn't sell Kepa, that's still about £15m per year. £5.5m for Onana and £10m for Kepa

Or would it be possible to give Ajax Kepa and get Onana and Taglifico hehehehe

You get am. I don't see how we would sell Kepa for £40m later. The only big teams in the market for Goalkeeper in Spain are Valencia and Sevilla and they don't have that kind of money, plus cover his high wages (without selling their own goalkeepers), meanwhile Kepa won't sell anywhere else apart from Spain.

All we can do is force Atleti into the market for goalkeeper by taking Oblak and offering them Kepa to cover their need at the same time. I can't see why Oblak will reject more money at Chelsea. The only stumbling block will be in getting ATM to accept Kepa.

£70m plus Kepa for Oblak will make more sense from your calculations that keeping Kepa plus buying Onana ontop.

Another possible angle is swapping Kepa for Cillesen who Valencia are not happy with. We can possibly get them to give us £10m to £15m plus Cillesen with Cillesen valued at £30m. It's then easier to bleed out Cillesens contract if he flops. However, he would be an improvement on Kepa for us. What we would do in that scenario is also buy another mid-level keeper (£5m-£20m) who can do a good job if Cillesen flops like Arreola, Karl Darlow at Newcastle or Ramsdale at Bournemouth. Between Cillesen and one of these, they should amount to the same yearly cost as Kepa with some assurance that at least one of them can do a job, and they will also have a lower wage so we can sell them at anytime. That is another possible way to exit Kepas liability, and Valencia also want to exit Cillesens liability so for us it's a case of swapping a big liability (Kepa) for a smaller liability (Cillesen) who can actually come good, with a backup in case he doesn't. Valencia have more faith in Kepa and we would have more faith in Cillesen so it's a possible win-win.

Bville02:
Chelsea's defense line is an eye sour. I think a commanding and good central will make the entire defense line formidable.

We also need a goal keeper but even oblak will improve in a very little way how we concede goals with that backline of ours.

It'd be perfect if we can get a goal keeper and also a CB. We need to improve those 2 units.

A good goalkeeper might improve the defence by 50%.

In an ideal world, we replace Kepa first, then Chris and Rudiger.

I think the club will see some sense in keeping Rudiger to help the new German players settle in. I personally can't stand his corporate shoe and lack of balance anymore, but I will understand if the club see some sense in keeping him.

BlueAngel444:
I trust Marina but that 50m+ value on Kepa is a?
would ATM ever collect 50m along with Kepa for Oblak .. To pull off that kind of deal would be mad o

Kepas current asset value is £50m. To sell him for less would result in an accounting loss toward FFP.

I can see a structure where we value Kepa at £50m and add another £70m to make up Oblaks £120m clause.

We then offer Oblak a 6 year contract so his yearly amortisation excluding wages becomes £20m (£120m divided by 6 years). This is no different to buying an £80m player on a 4 year contract.

At the same time, we get rid of Kepas contract from the books. We are then replacing Kepas £10m per year amortisation (£72m fee over 7 years) with Oblak £20m per year amortisation. In accounting terms the yearly difference is only £10m per year.

On the other hand, if we buy Onana for example and can't sell Kepa, we will be adding Onana £7m per year amortisation to Kepas £10m per year making £17m per year.

So the difference between buying Oblak in a swap and buying Onana outright in addition to Kepa could be only £3m per year in accounting terms.

In Atletico Madrid eyes, I can't see why getting £70m free cash plus a younger Spanish number one goalkeeper won't appeal to them. . . unless they think Kepa is totally trash. I would like to think Kepa still has small attraction in Spain given he is their NT goalkeeper.

I can't see any leftback in the market that ticks most of the boxes apart from Theo Hernandez at Milan. We should tempt them with a £40m offer which will be double what they paid for him last summer.

Bville02:
If we are being real, there is no way we are getting Oblak. Besides the fact that ATM won't let him go easy, his price tag is outrageous.

Chelsea will be breaking the transfer fee for goalkeeper back to back. No no no! That's bad publicity.

We need to buy a CB before even getting a goal keeper. I'm more concerned about getting a CB.

GK is more important than CB.

The best solution will be to see if ATM are interested in a swap with Kepa plus cash. The clubs main consideration in any deal should be getting Kepa off the books and if ATM will take him, then Oblak deal makes sense. They can even structure the deal so there is no accounting loss on disposal of Kepa as they can price Kepas part of the deal at his carrying value in the books.

This is probably the best financial solution as we won't be able to shift Kepa if we buy another goalkeeper outright.

The only way we should be going for Oblak is in a swap deal, otherwise just buy another cheaper keeper and bleed out Kepas contract or loan him out indefinitely.

That guy is a menace.

Not true, i even tipped him to finish 3rd and strongly backed him from the onset.

That was when you had relaxed mind

Jullima:
Maybe the women back in the day should have dragged men and spoken up. It’s sad he lost his life but downplaying and dismissing verbal sexual harassment is not cool. You’re a man, you will never know the impact of a verbal sexual harassment on women. So, it’s not in your place to decide how women should receive or accept it, because it’s non physical doesn’t mean it can’t be as damaging.

Say wetin?

When I was in college, one girl wrote a poem/rap about all the sexual things she wanted to do to me and read it in front of my friends.

She was completely unattractive to me, so I was polite, kept it moving and later laughed it off with my friends.

This is no different to what happened to this Izu boy who sent a sexually explicit poem.

By the same standards, they should have dragged that girls life who wrote me that rap, but no need to bother cos it came from a good place.

So should we subject girls who call or text guys with sexual proposals to the same treatment as Izu?

Thank God say I done marry and retire since almost a decade ago. I would not like to be a young man navigating through this dangerous territory these days.

pocohantas:
I don’t know of his guilt or innocence, I am concerned as to how a group of girls can create an e-list and start adding names of guys there. So, I can wake up tomorrow and go add your name to a list on Twitter? Even courts take time to complete a case before adding someone’s name to list of sexual offenders. What legal authority do those girls have to compile such a list that can change someone’s life in nanoseconds? That is my annoyance!

The reason for his suicide would remain a mystery to everyone, but that nonsense list should be addressed.

By the way, the girl said it is non-physical harassment (whatever that means). So a man harasses you non-physically and the next thing is to go adding his name to a Twitter list?? C’mon!

Correct post.

The guy was just bad at toasting, and that evil girl went and added his name next to real rãpists.

If a guys toasting is unwelcome, just call him a weirdo and move on. These ones want shame person all over Twitter.

Anyway, the guy na mumu to dey explain himself to these rampant men haters upandan. He played their game, trying to clear his name amongst a bunch of witch-hunters who would have pronounced him guilty anyways

homesteady:
Are you people still claiming he was falsely accused of rape? The girl who made the list has made it public, he was included in that list for harassment. She also uploaded texts of him apologising for harassment.

Let people have a balanced view.

Which one be harassment again? Hian Homesteady.

So being bad at toasting is now a crime for ugly oloshos to be using your name to campaign all over Twitter.

From the so-called harassment texts, what I saw was a guy who was just weak at toasting and had no humour. Probably a V sef.

Back in the day, the girl would just call him a weirdo, block his number and move on. This generation go drag you all over Twitter.

Anyway, the guy weak and was too caught up in his online persona. May his soul RIP.

I checked the ugly girls Instagram.

Na so she like to dey list guys accused of rape/harassment. Literally hundreds of guys she go dey list everyday like a self appointment vigilante.

Anyway, this guy Izu did not have game. He go dey toast one babe on Twitter but he wasn't funny.

Just common toasting on Twitter oh, na him this witch start campaign of harassment ontop him head.

The boy Izu was just too soft to allow his life get wasted by one mentally deranged ugly witch-hunter.

Her name on Instagram sef is Nani Pünani. Pesin name herself after sêxual organ come dey form campaigner. Mscheeeew.

This report is false and the author is mixing up Naira and dollars.

How will Nigeria who operate on a budget of roughly $30bln per year be due over $88bln from neighbours for two years worth of electricity supply.

That means our budget can be covered by just selling electricity to neighbours.

I believe the 88bln is a Naira amount, not a dollar amount. Both the journlist and his editor should be flogged for this.

On another note, I believe selling electricity to neighbours was one of the stipulations that came with damming the river at Kainji. Usually when you dam a river, you come to some arrangement with your neighbours.

Chelsea linked with Getafe left-winger/left-back Marc Cucurela.

I say no to Spanish players. The Kepa, Morata and Torres experience is enough for now.

timbros:
We need to break the bank for Jan Oblak. At 27, he can give us 8 to 10 solid years between the sticks.

We need this guy, and I must add, desperately.

We need to be cautious. The demands of playing GK in a defence that keep highline is different from the demands of playing GK in a team that defend their 6 yard box.

If Atletico Madrid are willing to take £50m plus Kepa, that's fine but spending over £100m on a keeper is ludicrous, especially when that keeper is untested in high-line football. Just because Liverpool spent £65m on Alison and it worked, Chelsea tried to follow that template with Kepa.

Keepers like Onana are proven high-line goalkeepers. Oblak is still untested in that regard. We saw how Cech (a typical low-block goalkeeper) struggled and lost confidence at Arsenal in a high-line.
