You may be right but why would we sit at St Marys until late at night trying to tie this up permanently ? He plays for us and we have him until the end of the season so would we not deal with this during the latter half of the season as there is no urgency. If they are still at St Marys at this time of night I think they are after somebody else.

Apologies just heard it is about Bertrand on tv. Wonder why there is the rush unless they are worried about somebody else going for him. Still don't understand it as he plays for us and is on loan until the end of the season, just seems a bit odd to me unless Chelsea need the money ?

There was talk that Schurrle had to be sold before Cuadrado could be signed so perhaps Chelsea need to balance the books and we can get a good deal.

Quality signing and was at reduced cost to allow Chelsea to balance there books hence why so late. Add in the fact we didn't sign a centre mid means we had the cash to push through the Bertrand signing, personally very pleased we have signed him up just fingers crossed we get Toby to follow suit and then I'm a very happy man. Good work to Koeman and board.

Really good news! We may have negotiated a lower fee than what was in the original agreement. Would I be right in thinking that football clubs financial year ends in April? Same for everyone else? So they may have wanted to do it earlier to make balancing the books a little easier

After thinking about it for a couple of days I am wondering whether we wanted Ryan to sign up before anybody else goes in for him. If so good job well done.
