Thomas lemar rumours lasted long, apparently close to joining athletico,

Wouldn’t want him anyway he’s well over rated wouldn’t pay 90 million on an attacker when they only score 5 goals a season we’ve got enough of them in Willian and Pedro.

I’d much prefer Bailey or Malcom and they’d be cheaper.

You should take any rumours where we have to pay 60mil plus with a pinch of salt. It's not in our DNA to spend huge on 1 player. TBH I can see Malcolm happening.

Lemar isn't a cheap player and if a shrewd club like Athletico Madrid is willing to pay the price for a player like Lemar- then Chelsea should have a careful rethink cos it will take an act of god for them to buy any good established player for a cheap sum. There are no good cheap players anymore- whatever policies that they've made about not overpaying for players came so late cos every player is now overpriced.

Leon Bailey's fee has gone up. I read an where Leverkusen rejected a £50m+ from Bayern Munich for him. Every good player is now expensive; this talk of Chelsea not overpaying for any player is a stupid talk on the part of the club- if they want to be strong contenders. To get any good player now, you have to overpay.

I’m not sure about the terms “overpay” or “pay up”?
We have a valuation of a player and the club the player plays for have a valuation.
If they don’t agree on a valuation then NO deal.
I’m very happy for our club to be run on a sound financial footing!
I’m already bored with the continued press speculation about managers and players!

Don't worry the term 'overpay' will soon be clearer to you as the transfer window opens and you see how much money clubs pay for players.

'Pay up' or 'overpay' makes no difference in today's market if you want a good player. Is Pogba worth £89m; is Lukaku worth £90m; is Coutinho worth £100m+; Is Dembele worth £90m+; Liverpool thought they were over paying when they bought Salah for £40m etc? . As at then I would say NO (were the clubs that bought them made to pay up or overpay? ) .
My point is every good player is now expensive and if you want a good player you must pay big-time.

Obinna, so you agree with my post that the terms “overpay” and “pay up” are redundant?
It’s about the clubs agreeing a “valuation” and the player being happy with his financial package.

Yea I agree with your post.
