    I think I had said as much previously, always thought it was an obvious destination for him. He is brilliant though in fairness. Would love to see him in the league.

    Probably only trying to quicken the possible arrival of Werner.
    It's going to be interesting what will happen with pre contracts, dates, extensions etc given how things might change over the the next month or two with form and injuries too.

    Madrid want Sancho and they also want to wait till 2021.
    Real Madrid have Sancho on their minds as more of a longer-term project. They are thinking of the summer of 2021 with no major signings due to be made this year.

    Werner is a cert to join Liverpool, Leipzig want €60 million and are holding out for that. Any stories linking him with a move elsewhere are just that,they are a bargaining chip to push Liverpool into action.

    I'd be surprised if that's true and he retires a Real Madrid player. He'd make a load in USA/Qatar/China

    Werner to Chelsea picking up a LOT of steam this evening, with reports of a 5 year contract agreed, and Chelsea willing to active his buy out shortly.

    That's a massive signing for Chelsea if they pull it off.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Wasn't he 100% going to Liverpool. I thought that was as much of a sure thing as them winning the league.

    From a cert to join Liverpool to a 5 year contract at Chelsea in the space of a few hours. Football transfers, you gotta love them!

    Disappointed if we don't get him. would be a fine signing for Chelsea.

    When is he technically allowed to play for Chelsea if it goes through?

    I presume he has to stay till the German league is over, unless they arrange sonething else.

    Ziyech and Werner for under 100m is some business. Flexing their muscle early

    The Chelsea attack needs a boost in the biggest way. I don't think the Werner signing elevates them to Man City/Liverpool level but it could cement them as best of the rest and with Ziyech going there too it gives Lampard far more options to play with. Werner could make a big difference to them.

    Not till next season. Regardless what happens with lapsing contract dates etc, he can’t be registered to play in the PL without a registration window opening - which it doesn’t look like it will until after these 9 games are played out. Same as Ziyech, despite the Eredivisie being finished, and him already being a Chelsea owned player.

    I thought it was a done deal and he had actually signed a pre contract with Liverpool already!

    Liverpool never bid for him. Were interested but not for that price (and wage) apparently.

    Chelsea prepared to pay it so get the player.

    Don't remember seeing it written anywhere as a done deal, apart from random Twitter folk hoping to be proved right post signing.
    All the talk was Liverpool, sure, from both sides, no other club really got mentioned.
    But it was only that, talk. No contract anywhere to be seen and I don't even think an official bid was ever made.

    The two Chelsea signings are exactly what they needed. If they bed in well, Chelsea will certainly be more of a force.

    Major signings don't always bed in though, as we all know.

    Have Liverpool any money? The pandemic is hitting clubs finances hard. Everyone knew that they were holding out to get him on the cheap but money talks.

    Considering they were going to furlough staff, they might have to do a Spurs and borrow money to make signings

    Correct, money always talks. I reckon 200k wages might have something to do with it. Guess Liverpool didn't want to pay that much for a player that would not be an automatic starter. He probably will be an automatic starter with Chelsea and the extra gametime might have suited him.

    Possibly but I doubt it- maybe if they are buying someone for over 100m I reckon. Which is doubtful as that might be too much of a gamble in case in went wrong, which happens of course.
    The big money they have spent have largely been successes.
    If they are going to buy poorly, I would prefer it was for lower money, as would any fan of any club I think.
    What will be interesting is how much they get for the players leaving.

    Shows why the Chelsea players were right to reject a pay cut.

    Disgusting Chelsea would ask them or any staff then go pay over 50million and offer werner 200k a week, according to reports.

    Liverpool, if they committed money to the new stand, should regard that as a sunk cost.

    put that money into the team, the stadium will take care of itself in 2-3 (or 5-6 or whatever) years. if they dont continue to move forward, they'll get passed out.

    it happened arsenal and the emirates. granted, they didnt anticipate Chelsea and city, but i think the point still stands. secure the team, the rest should come later.
