I can see it as well. The doubt is more around whether we would pay the wages a £40m player would demand.

I think we can dispense with the "he's not for sale" argument If someone offered £200m they would sell. He's for sale like any other player. The outstanding questions are whether we would meet their valuation (doubt it) and whether Levi would sign given reported interest from other clubs and...

I think you've asked the right question. But i'm not sure I agree with your answer. I just don't think Chelsea would do this unless they knew they were 100% he was about to sign a new contract. My thinking is that A) it puts them in a weaker position for negotiating this contract and B)...

But then we'd be annoyed if he does go somewhere else and we took ourselves out of the running out of respect for a club who deserve no respect.

I reckon ..... Levi knows his contract is running down. He tells BHA while on loan he wants to come. Albion bid low ... £30m Chelsea fans kick off at club over the possibility of him leaving to club who have been making them look stupid for the last year. Chelsea offers Levi a contract, vastly...

If we have made this bid, it's very much an opening offer. I think we might go up to £45m and make him our highest wage earner. The logic being that at his age, we are very unlikely to fail to get this money back (and likely a profit) when we sell him on in 2 or 3 years. In effect we'd be...

The first post in unsourced, so likely untrue. But £30m is nowhere near enough to tempt Chelsea for this player
