motdsteve Posted 27 July 2022 Share Posted 27 July 2022 Sorry, I have not read the whole thread but surely Wes and the club don’t need the distraction now. He would be their 3rd choice and has said he loves being here and has contract for 2027. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he went to Chelsea I have full confidence he’d be their number one cb within about 5 games max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 27 July 2022 Share Posted 27 July 2022 Maybe he's not been their first choice target because they know you can get a Kounde and Kimpembe meal deal for less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 27 July 2022 Share Posted 27 July 2022 I have found it interesting how so many on here push our English players for international recognitition often on the basis of a couple of outstanding performances whilst Fofana gets none of that for France. He has not been recognised at any level yet. If he is that good why is that the case? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, he was in line for a callup recently when Varane got injured but it coincided with his wedding so Konate got in instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was due to be called up to the French squad for the Nations League just gone but was getting married so played 1 game for the 21s instead. He will be in that French squad in the next international break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to position ourselves so we could try to upset the relationship between tuchel and boehly (or at least strain it). let wes know that we are going to string them along and get them talking about a sale before pulling the plug - a weakened Chelsea is surely in our interest ??

Tbh, after old man Kobailly (sp?) not sure how much more they are prepared to spend, as this would dwarf all previous transfers in this window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 27 July 2022 Share Posted 27 July 2022 As they have Trevor Cholobah and the apparent prodigy Colwill available , they can afford a much cheaper option than Fofana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 27 July 2022 Share Posted 27 July 2022 Minor saving grace, IF Chelsea chucked in a bid, I imagine they would be joined by others and it would become an auction However, still think he will give us at least one more year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless his agent is a dunce of course. If he has a clause, and he fancies the move, the press will be all over it, especially if it’s Chelsea making the move.

Make it £50m at least as Colwill is unproven and Gallagher is not a Youri replacement 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
