The deal to sign Wesley Fofana is all but done, with an official announcement expected in the next 24 hours.
It’s not a moment too soon – the insane Premier League schedule from now until Christmas really kicks off this week, with a round of midweek games. Kalidou Koulibaly’s suspension for today’s game reveals just how short we are at the back.
But when can we expect Fofana to make his debut? Today’s game against Leicester was clearly never on the cards – they weren’t going to allow him to make the move until after that possibility was gone. Even Tuesday night’s game against Southampton looks a stretch.
But by the time we reach next weekend’s game against West Ham, Fofana will have had a full 7 days as a Chelsea player, and while there won’t have been too many training sessions before that, the 5 subs this season makes it feel likely we will at the very least see him as a replacement in that match at some point.
If the club had not dragged their heels, trying and failing to get him cut price, he could have been in the team weeks ago, and we may not have dropped so many points. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would advise that you you do not comment on what you do not have the professional competence to comment on. Don’t you think Fofana would have attracted a much higher fee than we eventually bought him if we had put up a first initial bid close to Leicester’s valuation of him?
Yes brother, the eventual sale price would been more than what we’re paying now. Hope he has a joyful, injury free and fruitful season with us.
So how much was the fee agreed on now
