Chances are Chelsea will offer £200k wages. The likes of Hudson Odoi are on £180k. We would only offer £125k. Probably less under a Covid contract.
We cannot match the lure of London. Or Madrid. Or Bayern for that matter.
If he wants to come to us a year later like he has said then that will still happen. Yep. If reports are true then he wants to join us. If he then goes to Chelsea then he obviously wasn’t that bothered and is just chasing the coin so not the kind I want for the club. Nothing is done yet though.

Chelsea took Pulisic last season when they thought we were sniffing around. Just after we bought Alisson they bought Kepa.
Through our actions are we deliberately making them pay top dollar for players?

If reports are true, he might want his situation sorted quickly instead of dragging maybe for a year if RB Leipzig dont want to sell below the exit trigger. As most players, they are not attached to LFC (lately only Gerrard was for obvious reasons) and I am sure that even VVD woukd have moved to another club if they were willing to pay what Southampton wanted. Good that we got money selling Coutinho and FSG moved their arses quickly, albeit after 6 months. Chelsea as a club doesnt have more money than us right now looking at their accounts by the way.

They couldn't have more money than us right now. Plus our net spend since last summer is 8 million I think. Going by reports we wanted him but were not willing to pay the fee and told him to wait another year. And then Chelsea come in and agree the fee and offer him good wages with the chance of first team football. He'd be stupid to wait another year for us.

Although Chelsea have had a transfer ban, so maybe they have cash laying around. Will see what others clubs do this summer.

With Nike kit deal put off for another 2 months, I'd imagine we are going to get somebody significant to model the new kit. Maybe the far fetched reports of Mbappe, maybe not so far fetched after all?

And have an owner worth over $12bn compared to ours at just over $2bn. Perhaps they’re taking a different view of how the financial landscape will look after the pandemic and with Abramovic worth that much more can afford to. It’s not just as simple as we have a better balance sheet so can afford more. Way too simplistic.
