So just basically swapping Sanchez for Zouma and Chelsea are getting pretty much the same deal... fun...



Ahahaha, you have to admire Chelsea's ruthlessness. They don't fuck about. Guess that is one less team in for Sanchez too so they manage to fuck us around also

Easy to be ruthless when you've got an endless pit of money.

Regardless, the player didn't want to come here. If he did he would have signed over a week ago when the deal was agreed with Sevilla. We didn't fuck around.

It's not all down the clubs just striking deals. The player has to be open to it too.

But keep banging that negativity drum.

This couldn't have gone worse from our perspective lol

Top player joins rivals, stopping him from maybe joining us, and to top it off they do a swap deal so Sevilla no longer want a player who we desperately need to get rid of.

Chelsea are very much that team where you quote them a price, they say yes, then you almost regret not asking for more money

But we've been told other people want Sanchez; this was a pipe dream and we would have been extremely fortunate to get him without any CL club touching him.

Wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea loan him out somewhere straight away - they love doing that.

Fucking hell. He did tweet out its now a swap deal. So there goes our likely Sanchez buyer.
Sevilla are not our Sanchez buyer without Kounde coming the other way, they knew that which is why they wanted the deal so much. Plenty of buyers for him.

Closest I've got to a silver lining is that, compared to past transfer windows, this doesn't feel like we messed up.
We did everything we could. Sadly Chelsea are in the CL and we aren't. That sounds like it was the difference.

How can this be a spam post ? Just posting what he says and to say that Chelsea play with us every window.

This deal is facts from Fabrizio right now...

Because it’s getting tiresome having the same cry babies whinging the same boring shit in every single thread.

Shame to miss out on Kounde but not seeing the panic around Sanchez, didn’t Dragon say there are three or four teams in for him? Just played in CA final, stock is high - of all our deadwood he’s probably the easiest to shift.

Though we were interested, I honestly don’t see the fuss over this. He is well short for a CB! And I stated this ages ago. I personally have never been in favour.

Japhet is 6ft tall, and Josè went on record saying he was too small. There is as good, if not better out there. And I am sure this didn’t catch Paratici by surprise. Furthermore, we signed there crown jewel.

I think it's obviously really important that we get rid of Sanchez, as far as we are concerned along with Dier he is a duff CB, Sanchez is the only one getting interest, if we still manage to sell him that's fine but Sevilla apparently really wanted Sanchez and they are an attractive destination for the player to go to.

Fingers crossed it all works out, but let's not pretend this Kounde zouma swap deal to chelsea isn't really bad news for us in more ways than one.

Also means Chelsea aren't blowing as much cash as we thought they would. It's a dream deal really.

Yeah, we've had multiple reports that Sanchez has numerous takers. This was always going to be difficult
