Same source cited by the Sun. Seems funny having two stories saying opposite things to such a degree. Sports Witness and NTV saying us. Wouldn't be surprised if out of nowhere the Liverpool link comes back up to drive more traffic to the articles.

Chelsea in for Oblak allegedly - which may make our alleged £20m deal possible and Kepa gong back to Spain

Chelsea move for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak - Football España

Chelsea are reportedly willing to offer cash plus goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to sign Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid. Slovenian goalkeeper Oblak has a long-term deal in the Spanish capital through to 2023 with a whopping £120m release clause, which they are unlikely to negotiate upon. The...

No way they will accept 30 million.euros for him

No way they will accept 30 million.euros for him

Agreed and probably not - but £30m will be the starting point.

Kepa is poor and Chelsea know that.

Chelsea haven't spent a lot due to the transfer bans, so they'll have something in reserve. - Athletico traditionally sell players knowing they've always got someone to take their place Kepa and £50/60m might make a difference. Hendo is the smoke screen

UTB

He's got a 110 million euro buy out clause

 

[BanderSerge]

What shade of horse is he if he hasn't been released?

He has been release.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

He has been release.

I'm not sure where you've got this from pal. He's under contract until 2021.

 

[BanderSerge]

Popped up in a newspaper the other day, can’t remember which one! Mentioned he had a year left, but was free to leave on a free If he could find a club

 

[Westran]

The Star reporting we've submitted an £18m bid

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I'd rather him go to Chelsea and get Deano back on loan

 

[BanderSerge]

Should we finish 6th, we get an extra £22m, as opposed to £105m for 17th. Could use the difference to buy Henderson?

 

[Westran]

Whats to say Hendo wants to sign? He's always seemed extremely determined to fight for his opportunity of #1 at Man Utd, its getting to the point where we need a permanent solution

suspect that’s what the berge signing was bought from tbf. We knew in Januaryour merit payments were going to be significantly higher than budgeted for

Sincerely hope not ,the season nearly finished null and void .I hope as bit more acumen goes into how much we spend

When you say 'a bit more acumen' do you mean you would have preferred 'em to have bought someone else?

I'm naturally dubious of keepers who aren't from northern or western Europe. They sometimes have a tendency to have a temper which they don't use very well and ambitions to be an outfield player. £18 million is a lot but not if we get a first choice keeper for 5 years.

Petr Cech was half decent.

The Star themselves aren't saying that, they are quoting other less reliable sources in their 'Gossip' column.

 

[S40BLADE]

Well with De Gea dropping another mare opening the way for Hendo to potentially star for Man Utd. We're gonna have to step our pursuit with this lad or someone of similar quality.

 

[mattbianco1]

Loads on twitter today saying we've had a 15m (Euros) bid rejected





Love the translation on that tweet:

Uğurcan Çakır, who had a very good season in Trabzonspor, was often mentioned with teams such as Liverpool, Sevilla and Manchester United. The first offer came from the Premier League team Sheffield United. However, 15 million Euros was not found sufficient by burgundy-blue people.

Made me chuckle as it’s probably about right. Good Keepers are usually extroverted Anyway, add some continental heritage and it could be fun!
Saying that, sweeper keeper would be very handy for us if we got a keeper who can do it. Would be a hell of a change for us fans to manage without a few heart attacks in the crowd!!!

 

[YES Blade]

Hopefully some truth in this one, I’d like to think we’re happy to spend some decent money on a keeper and we need to have more options than just Henderson for next season.

Set for Chelsea apparently..

I've never met a decent keeper who's not crackers - even at non-league level

Absolutely true...you have to be crackers to dive feet first into oncoming studded boots !
I'd be more than happy if we can land this lad. Dont see Chelsea signing him, not high enough profile for them.

 

[YES Blade]

Cakir or Henderson? Media seem to be reporting they are interested in Henderson rather than Cakir at the moment.

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

I'm sure the team will wait to see Chelsea's stance before selling to us.
