Ed002
A number of journalists are reporting that we are a long way from Leverkusen valuation of Havertz.
Does this fit with your info?
Many thanks.

{Ed002's Note - The situation is that theree is yet to be an agreement between Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen.}

To be honest Turvey I haven’t seen any reports saying that, only of course if it’s from Twitter, unfortunately don’t have an account on there. Can you please tell me where you read that?! Thanks.

"Yet" so maybe ed002 implying there will be one in time and we should get the deal done? hope so.

ElI the source is the Athletic. I read it on the Metro and they referenced the above source stating that BL want closer to 90m and interested parties are wanting to start bidding at around the 55m mark. We are miles apart apparently.

It further adds that Chelsea are not the favourites as there are many interested parties who are after the player.

It does add that Bayern are not the Favourites as they are keen on Leroy Sane and therefore credit to Ed for confirming that with us previously.

Maybe we can tick Havertz of the list for now.

The Metro totally ignored what The Athletic actually said and just quoted something Iam McGarry said. It was terrible reporting.

I think perhaps it's just a case of newspaper linguistics?
Ed very rarely mentions "favorites" when teams are interested in players, so perhaps it's a term that's not really used by those who are actually part of the footballing world?
Regardless, few would have said three weeks ago and the months before that that we were favorites in the Werner transfer. Sometimes things just change, and perhaps we'll end up with an agreement with Leverkusen - time will tell :)

Oh okay, thanks Shak, good to see you back on here.

I for one don’t pay much attention to reports from certain journalists, and I’d be surprised if we jus paid what other clubs wanted without negotiating, let’s see how things play out.

Thanks Ed002
Eli
Its an article by a couple of journalists from the Athletic.

{Ed002's Note - You should ask them in that case and not me.}

Ed do you think an agreement can be found or is the difference in valuation too far apart between the clubs? Thanks for your input.

{Ed002's Note - I have not said anything of the sort - you need to try Twitter or wherever this is coming from.}

How’s it going, are clubs far aspect in value and have we spoke with the player or will that come after a fee’s agreed.

{Ed002's Note - It is not worth explaining details to you.}

Thanks Eli. It's good to be back on here and active again.

Really glad that the league is about to restart. Missed it a lot.

No worries Ed. Usually try to stay away from all these paper gossip but sometimes I can't help but read it. I'll take what you said previously. Cheers.

Ed002 no offence but nobody has been rude to you in those comments? They have seen certain statements from journalists but yet they come on here to gain your opinion and insight, they clearly value yours above anyone else’s, myself included. This is a banter and rumour site so the rumours have to come from somewhere otherwise we would have no questions to ask you? We all value the information you give us but if we don’t ask we don’t get.

{Ed002's Note - Sorry, where did I say that someone had been "rude" to me? I have explained for the last six months that Chelsea were not going to be paying the €100M asking price, why should I have to say it again because someone has repeated it?}

Apologies, you never said rude but your replies give the impression you were offended by the questions.

I believe I’m worth explaining the details to as I value your knowledge within the game as all the Ed’s, it’s tough being a fan with no knowing of what’s going on behind closed doors.

{Ed002's Note - The situation is unchanged.}

Bet the Ed's feel like a parent in a car with kids.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

I can see how they many come across short. I know I do when my boy asks the same question for the 3rd time and the answer is the same. Never mind every day.
