EF has split Chelsea fans' opinions on lots of levels. He may leave the club for a substantial fee (£120m+), even though a supposed club deadline has been and gone.
The player himself could come out and stop all the speculation, but I guess he wants the pay rise, I’m sure he would get if he went to City.
At some stage, if we received a firm offer from City, it might be too late to find a replacement and therefore no would probably mean no, but then we run the risk of keeping an unhappy player.
My guess is, if they come in with an offer at any stage between now and the closure of the window, we will sell him.

I think he is hedging his bets, Tom, but, in fairness to him, he did applaud the whole ground on Saturday, including those who were less than pleased to see him.

I just hope we keep both Enzo and Neto. I want the strongest possible squad for the coming season.
We have still plenty of fringe players to loan out.

I'm just not convinced he is committed to Chelsea. It needs to be sorted out sooner rather than later.
