People wanted the club to 'show ambition'
There’s a difference between going for good players in the Market and going for players who have already agreed terms with Chelsea and has basically said Chelsea is the only place I want to go
This is all leading up to a deadline day scrap, for whatever crumbs are left.
We wouldn't be interested in him if we weren't confident that he'd turn us down
That's a whole lot of bollocks
You would think Levy would be smart enough by now to realise this, but clearly not.
Maybe he loves being embarrassed

You have to enjoy it because it’s brilliant fan fiction. To know all this you’d have to either be in Simons’ camp or on the board.
Trying Hotspur Football Club.
Sadly it's in the blood snd can't be vaporised.
The Simmons thing is just Simmons agent trying to squeeze out more wages from Chelsea
It's utter bollox

Have we established this guy is a liar and fraud ?

Like MGW and Eze and Savinho?
We seem to have been getting our fingers burnt all Summer...
I said similar when posting another tweet last night - theres been a bit of a witch hunt on ITK this year - in particular Romano
So when they actually try and offer some "real" insight instead of copying and pasting like an aggregator, I throw them in here for the record
That way people can slag them now, and later when theyre wrong
Ornstein isn't reliable anymore didn't you hear?
We all know how this one ends
Chavs will absolutely sign him and much like Palace, RB are using us to get the deal done and maybe squeeze a bit more up front cash out of the Chavs.
I was thinking about the Simons last night in bed (make your jokes). I said we would never get Eze or Savinho and so far I have been proven right on that point.
However, on Simons, I just have this feeling that we can get it done. Chelsea have been hanging about waiting to raise cash to appease UEFA. There are various accounts that Simons has a bit of an ego, perhaps that is unfair, let's just call it confidence. I put myself in his position and I am getting pissed off with Chelsea. This deal has been agreed for weeks. Now, Garnacho is seemingly ahead of Simons in the pecking order. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns round and tells Chelsea to do one.
I must caveat this by saying I still think is unlikely we get this done. I was 0% on Eze and Savinho; I am 25% on Simons.

The curious thing about Lange is he came with the m.o. of identifying rough diamonds and turning them into polished gems....
So far it looks like something has been lost in translation or he's completely misunderstood the brief of 'making a silk purse out of a sow's ear' and ended up making a

of it.I don’t believe we will get Simons , but if we do I will not be thanking Levy for doing his job for which he is handsomely rewarded .
I filled my car up this morning and I didn’t thank the CEO of Shell for having petrol available

Simons has got like 10m left on his current contract. A club like Spurs might offer him 10m a season for 4-5 years, 40-50m.
Chelsea might offer him a 9 year deal worth 3x that in total.
He's 22 with probably 10-30m career earnings, a few years out of youth football, agent and family pressure with a contract on the table worth 150 million potentially. All he has to do, as a 22 year old, is back his own ability to succeed at the club which I'm sure they all do.
Yes he would make millions anywhere but the difference of 40 to 150m is 110 million, or whatever the offers would be. That's an insane amount of money to expect a 22 year old, likely from a relatively poor family, to turn down.
