TBW Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Anyone else think it would've been considerably less if not for the fact we got Dasilva so cheaply? Seems like Chelsea bumped the price up to make up for the loss on Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could believe that he actually wants to settle down and put down some roots and be stable somewhere? Instead of being a part of a club who only want to loan you out, and with each season you are no nearer getting into their reserves never mind their first team. He now has a club who want him and that should make him feel even more motivated than ever as every time he plays he can really feel part of any success, as we are his club now. How good is that!

Who else was willing to pay that much for him? Definitely feels like more of a £5m for each one than £8m and £2m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got both for £9m but I agree DaSilva would've been closer to £4m had we not agreed the fee last summer so it's a good deal for the pair of them. There was also serious interest in Kalas from other clubs around Europe apparently, so we don't know for sure that no-one else was willing to pay a good price for him.

Inside Right Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Same fee for 26yo Kalas as we got for 29yo Flint. And prices have gone up since last year. Looks very fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if it was as one sided as that. I don’t think Chelsea were desperate to offload him, he’s probably been earning them loan fees for all his career and wouldn’t have been short of offers for a loan deal or permanent signing from other clubs. No other club interested in him, no I don’t think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 The chump who wrote the article declares its ‘ £8 million for a player who has no worth to Chelsea ‘ . We obviously value him at that so what’s the deal ? He will probably go for double that next summer if we don’t go up or he will become a Prem player if we do .

And if our relationship with Chelsea continues to be as advantageous as it has recently, a few quid or so here or there makes very little difference I’d guess.

I would rather believe KITR on here than any media outlet who get most of their stuff from regurgitated, generally made up nonsense from Social Media. Still each to their own! Jay Dasilva and Kalas combined for 9 or 10 million is superb business regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
