Chelsea reportedly blocking Sarrs move to Fulham because we “need replacements” but also at the same time reportedly including Colwill in Brighton talks for Cucurella — make it make sense

I think it wouldn't surprise anybody if this rumor is bs. Even right now Sarr is surplus to requirements here, so it would make zpz sense to block his departure from the clubs pov, with his rumored 120k a week contract until 2025 we should be more than happy if any club would take him even for free so we could save the almost 20m he would get here until the end of his contract.

Why would we need a replacement for a squadplayer who nobody rates at all, while we technically have multiple players who could play the same position he does probably to the same standard or better? Koulibaly is our starter for the LCB position, we have a highly rated youngster in Colwill, Tuchel played Emerson in this position in some matches. plus Chalobah and Ampadu have played this position before on their loans. This would be five options already, even if it isn't the main position of Emerson, Chalobah and Ampadu here, but still they have some experience playing on the leftside of a backthree.

The notion of us blocking a transfer because we need a replacement for an average overpaid squadplayer, who most fans would be happy to see gone, while having solid cover for his position in our squad, seems absolutely bizarre to me. If this occurence really happened, it would be kinda sad and it would surprise me if anybody here would be against him leaving.

 
Christ, let's hope we just play hard to get here. I'd take any spare change if we could get Sarr off the wage bill. We could always insert some clause just in case he turns out to be a Rudiger in 2 years time.

Now saying we’ve blocked the move until we buy a replacement CB.

If this is true, I can't understand why we would do that. Sarr was awful by the end of the season, it wouldn't even be a risk losing him even if we don't bring in anybody else. It can already be argued that Colwill and even Ampadu are better CB's than him. Take the chance to get rid now because if we don't, we could be stuck with him.

 
Fulham are in a need to buy 'PL quality' to survive mode and we need to exploit that. Sarr is not getting games so he should be willing to move, this should be simple ffs.

Marina masterclass.

It's crazy to me some people pretend she was some kind of top negotiator when almost every contract she handed out had us paying players 50 to 100K more than they would have earned anywhere else.

Would Sarr really have turned down 110K a week? 100? 90? 80?

Some of the salaries we pay are beyond absurd.

24 months 120k a week is 11.520.000 

that's 480.000 profit + the 750.000 loan fee

and he played some games and was a back up

not really a big profit but didn't work out

That's assuming the option to buy gets triggered. It isn't an obligation.

We all know no one is paying 12m for the Sarr we saw last season.

 
Buy option, not obligation. Monaco loaned Baka, who was equally useless and did not take up their option.
