Didn't West Ham say that bidding would have to start at £100m if anyone ever wanted him? 

They might have said that but even at the time it probably wasn't true, they were also doing far better in the league so he will have been less inclined to leave and he'd have had 18 months more on his contract when they said that. They'd probably take 50+20ish, maybe 55+25 at a push

West Ham aren't about to sell their best player when they've actively in a relegation battle. This whole thing is a non starter.

[Matt]

Probably not now but in the summer if someone offers 70-80m, they'll take it

[Szumi]

Well, yes, but the conversation is about Arsenal making a move this window.

Daley Blind, recently released by Ajax, has found himself a new club.

Bayern Munich.

Chelsea have agreed a fee for Benoît Badiashile.

This transfer has been officially completed.

I am if anything even more confused as to what Chelsea's best choice for a centre back pairing is if Thiago Silva is removed from the equation.

Pick two out of Koulibaly/Fofana/Chalobah/Badiashile. Whatever your answer is, I fear for our defence.

It's as if Hag is holding a gun into the back of Butland!. "Smile. That's it. Look pleased to be here. Yes."

I feel like we should be at the point of just letting 2nd choice goalkeepers temp at different clubs as 1st choice ones get injured.

[Baddar]

Looks like we're getting Weghorst on loan. Amazing news. 🙄

[Colly]

Don't be knocking w00t.

[Baddar]

Expectations are low, anyway, like with Ighalo. He'll probably do alright. 

I know they're different positions but I really wanted Felix.

[Baddar]

Chelsea are getting Joao Felix on loan, it seems.

[DavidMarrio]

Chelsea strategy in the transfer window just appears to be random footballer generatoe

[stokeriño]

Maybe I'm being unfair, but I get real Pato vibes from this loan deal.

[FLiam]

Chelsea getting mugged here.

[Matt]

Romano really is just a tap in merchant now isn't he? Reckon most of his sources have told him to fuck off

106,000 likes for summarising story that had already been published isn’t bad going.

Maybe if I invent a silly catchphrase I will get 106,000 likes on my EWB posts.

[Colly]

Worked for Lineker.

[Lineker]

The man just really likes crisps.
