Chelsea sign Michy Batshuayi

[RichieS]

I think Everton will end up splashing the Lukaku money on Batshuayi, if he doesn't stay at Marseille now they've got investment.

Where's Lukaku going?

First train out of Everton I would think

There is no "investment" imminent enough to get OM out of financial trouble by month end.

Unless it's all a bit of lie they need to raise money in the next few weeks. Plenty of ways they can do that.

Wasn't the most recent story that Batshuayi had told West Ham to fuck off?

If he signs for us, we so have to make that into a chant for when he scores. If he scores.

After Toni Basil:

Oh Michy, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Michy, hey Michy
Oh Michy, you're top class
Shoved West Ham's offer up their arse, hey Michy, hey Michy

No, I believe that was Lacazette who told them no on no uncertain terms.

I believe Batshuayi merely favours us over them, except if this keeps drawing on past the Euros he may pick them because Marseille may dig their heels in.

The player has already rejected concrete advances from West Ham United

The only hope for West Ham is that nobody makes a bid between now and the end of the June, which would force OM to sell Batshuayi to the Hammers, against Batshuayi’s will.

Well that's still the exact scenario I'm talking about. If only WH meet the valuation he may be faced with them or no one.

Lacazette is able to say "no" and have it be definitively final.

 

[adamsky]

Just can't see us spunking 30 odd million on him.

 

[Led Revolver]

As with Toby, no club can force a player to go anywhere, no matter how financially buggered they are.

 

[Frenchalex25]

Nigel, there was literally one story about a possible takeover. They do not (yet) have 'investment'.

Sweech,
THFC is right.
Both Lacazette AND Batshayi told West Ham to fuck off...
I also mentionned that in my posts from yesterday (even if i think you thought that was too long to read).
Both want to play CL Football next year.

Lacazette will play CL Football with Lyon next season.
2 conditions are needed for Lacazette to leave Lyon this summer.
1) A +50 M Eur offer for President Aulas.
2) A Club Lacazette wants to play for.
West Ham isn't amongst the Clubs Lacazette is interested to play for.
Lacazette won't change his mind even if WH would pay him huge money.
Bigger Clubs than West Ham are interested in Lacazette and could also pay him huge money.

Batshuayi also told many times he wants to play CL Football.
If he really thinks that, he should come to us.
But I also think Money can mean more for him.
If West Ham offers him big money, he might change is mind to go and play for them.

They need to have raised 40 M Eur by the 31 st June.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Batser deffo to Spurs. Only matter of time. All my own caramelised onions.

 

[millsey]

What happens if they don't?

 

[robertgoulet]

What happens if they don't?

I believe the FA can relegate them to a lower division or declare them bankrupt.

 

[rossco]

I'm pretty sure a player can't be sold against his will. I.e if he doesn't want to go to West Ham he doesn't have to...

That is correct.

 

[luptic]

If it's the 31st of June then they are pretty much fucked.

The article said 31th of June which is even worse.
