Christ! we are literally approaching the 11th hour! Doesn't look like a sniff of DD to Chelsea news on Sky Sports News.
Time to let Drinkwater go and get Silva in. Drinky is currently at Chelsea's training ground, but can't have a medical until we agree a price. If this deal doesn't go through, what kind of player will he be.
Dragovic has signed! As for Silva, there are conflicting reports but doubt it and Drinkwater looks to be staying.
I've read both - one saying that both Drinkwater and Silva is done pending confirmation and another saying Sporting wanted more money and we said forget that as Drinkwater is staying. We shall see...
Can't see them rejecting the extension as it works for both parties. Almost certainly means both deals are going ahead
The good news is that either way he have a quality CM Wierd how sky think it's happening and BBC don't I tend to trust sky on deadline day
Sky have sacked all of their proper journalists and now are the Sun gossip column. Anyway BBC think that it is still happening.
Drinkwater confirmed as a Chelsea player. But what a summer of recruitment from Shakey Harry Maguire, Vincete Iborra, Eldin Jakupovic, Kelechi Iheanacho, Aleksandar Dragovic and Adrien Silva Outstanding summer for us. Add to the fact we have nearly managed to keep Riyad Mahrez aslong as the Spainish lot dont sign him today Drinkwater was an outstanding servant to the club but £35M! Cant reject that for him The signings of ball playing defenders like Maguire and Dragovic along with Silva and Iborra suggest to me we will be trying to play a slighty different style this season
