Any quotes suggesting this?
I would be suprised if that was the reason. The tapping up allegations are far more likely to have scuppered the deal.
Also Saudi money invested into Clearlake the fund that owns Chelsea
I'd still have him over Lenglet which is the only other CB we've been consistently linked to, Tosin links gone completely dead and not linked with anyone else right now, in an ideal world you'd get in Tapsoba but I'm saying if we have to settle on a cheap/free backup CB we could do a lot worse.
I'd guess Palace comments on Chelsea potentially tapping up Olise, meant Chelsea decided they needed to back track rather than risk a ban.
Eze situation could be interesting.
You are probably right.
I just hope it’s personal as well because I hate that clubs behaviour
Why can't we go for Tapsoba?
We are skint. Our owners don’t have enough money to invest in the team
He's very good but we have other holes in our squad, we don't need to spend 60m for a backup CB.
Which is both true and yet vastly different to what you originally said.
You have a recurring habit of going big with what you say (to hell with truth at times) only to find yourself having to climb down in your subsequent post(s)...... Here we are again.
He isn't.
....So?
...And now reportedly employed in a different capacity.
What are you rambling about? .....No-one's disputed that it would be preferable to have someone other than Levy doing the negotiations again.
To reiterate:
You don't have a correct understanding of what "criminal" means.
Also, you don't have a correct understanding of Paratici's punishment.... He's not "officially banned from the sport".
He's not "in the slammer" either.... That's just childish.

Do you realise how much of a pointless conversation this is?
It's not going to happen and neither should it.
We very much do need to spend 60m on a CB...
And with the Kane money we should have enough to spend in other positions.
He has quietly become a favourite player of mine. Good for the kid.

Yup Chelsea backing off after threat by Palace to go to town on Chelsea's tapping up - cannot risk a likely transfer ban that would kill off Boehy's plans. Big wages increases and minimum release clause.
Oh I'm not saying it won't. I said I'm reserving judgement. But it is a distinct possibility it/he won't be successful. So in the, premature, context of "why isn't Son effective in Ange's system" its arguable whether or not it's the olayer or the system that's an odd duck in the PL.
As I said, premature in any case as we've played 1 match and we know that Son is a streaky player to begin with. He's entirely likely to go a month looking like shit and then have 12 goal/assists in 8 matches.
The old ones are the best.I shouldn’t but that made me laugh out loud
Not disastrous which is nonsense, but one that does need additions, and im 3 key areas.
