You can't blame the club for stalling at 50 mil plus for a 29 year old and 200k per week.
Chelsea are clearly in the market for a striker, yet they appear to be giving this one a big swerve. The bloke sounds like trouble by all accounts, and if he turns out to be a stiff after twelve months, we'll have possibly p1ssed away a large chunk of the summer budget.

For what it's worth, probably not much, I think he'll sign but I'm not convinced the money couldn't have been more wisely spent shoring up the central defence, perhaps a new keeper, and that elusive midfield playmaker we so desperately need.
We're not crying out for a number 9 and what's wrong with seeing how Mik, Lacazette and Ozil gel to the end of the season ?
7Sisters in defending Arsenal shocker!
Elusive midfield playmaker ?
