You mean a multi-million pound deal for a player they had previously sold? It beggars belief, doesn't it? ;)
But didn't they previously sell him for about £50 million ??
Surely they won't get him back for a 'mere' £30 million, would they ??
Its more that he is not a great player. The money side is largely irrelevant. He must have been fourth or fifth choice. Can't see how Chelsea's defence improves significantly with him in it
Mind you, NB, who would have thought previously that Kolarov could do a job at centre-back and not make a complete mess of it. So far, he's amazed everyone by looking fairly capable in that position and Pep obviously saw something in him that everyone, except good old Mase, didn't see.
Perhaps Conte might have the Midas touch himself and succeed in turning this Brazilian clown into a decent defender ??
