If Levy and Co really want Simons, surely heavy loading the early portion of payments will hinder Chelsea being able to match it.
We had that available for MGW, it was widely reported (£30m this summer and next, think it was).
Chelsea are working on 5year spreads (maybe longer), buckle that ability on this one.
Cuts both ways though, if Chelsea aren't serious Simons won't go begging them to bid like Eze did.If we find out the package Chelsea are offering him and give him more money he’ll come. He’s a mercenary. It will be that simple.
The risk lies in him phoning Chavs to let them know exactly what they need to match for him to join them and them seeing it as no impediment to getting a deal done.If we find out the package Chelsea are offering him and give him more money he’ll come. He’s a mercenary. It will be that simple.
Matt Law would love nothing more than to pull that rug from underneath us.
