The exclusives twitter account, which has been pretty spot on in the past.

Had a bad injury but obviously would be a really decent signing for a Championship club.

How on earth have we achieved this? Far too good for this level.

He has played in the top leagues of Europe for the last 6 years. He has just come back from a nasty injury and needs game time, game time we can offer him.

Bundesliga>ligue 1>la liga>greek super league>championship

I've honestly never seen him play, I hope he's good and plays more than the 10 games he's averaged per season since 2015.

Hound considering he cost £15m he prob is on 50k a week

looks like he needs to get his career back on track as getting on a bit now. Wouldn't rule it out, but yeah very much doubt we'd pay a lot of the wage


yes sorry, i don't doubt Chelsea are paying him 50k pw, they are oxf*rd mental with their wages. What I meant when saying the 50k was bullshit was that we were going to pay the 50k in full as per the OP's details of the rumour.

We might pay him £50k total

Makes sense all round I think - Chelsea will be seeing his value dropping like a stone. A decent season for us might claw back some of the little outlay on him. No one likely to buy him currently

Hasn’t played a huge amount so interesting to see if he can stand up to a season in the champ. If he can, we’ve got a potentially good player.

Anyone else concerned that we still may not have learnt our lesson on spending and somehow managed to wheedle our way round the FL again only to then splurge more money the club doesn't really have?

Not worried at all, we have got to bring in players and the club aren't going to break any rules to do so imo. If they weren't concerned about rules we would have signed 5 players by now. They are being cautious.

I would hope that we are paying £8500 per week and no more. This is the final year of his Chelsea contract. A bit like McNulty with us they just want him off the books. I suspect we are still paying some of McNulty's wages. Chelsea paid £23 million for Rahman.

Interesting Chelsea are also looking to offload Miazga and Baker who are also coming to the end of their contracts. They have stacks of other players to offload too. Their wage bill must be insane.

Would kill to have Baker back.

This is a ludicrous signing if true. Obviously he could flop and very important to note the injury recovery but he is still a relatively high reputation player for the Champ.

Apparently we are only paying a portion of his wages, Chelsea will cover the vast majority. So would expect we are keeping to the 8.5k limit.

We seem to have a pretty good relationship with Chelsea as they seem happy to send us loan players whilst still covering wages.

My biggest concern at the moment, is we are very close to being in a position where our starting XI will be made up of loanees or players out of contract next summer but that's a worry for another day.

Strangely despite the restrictions, we may, arguably, end up with a stronger squad than last year due to some smart moves and the emergence of a Azeez and a couple of other academy players who can do a job as well.

Bertrand, Ake, Baker, Miazga and Chalobah. We have a good history of loan signings with Chelsea.

Indeed, as per my post on the previous page

‘Halilovic > Olise
Rahman > Richards
Hoilet > aluko
TBD > semedo
Gaich > baldock

Can we have a transfer embargo every window please.’
