Crunch time for Chelsea board

Last updated : 20 June 2011 By Paul Lagan

It's crunch time for Chelsea's football board as final transfer figures for new players are agreed.

Chelsea chief executive returned from his promotional tour of the Far East and will meet fellow board members today to thrash out the finer details of what they are going to offer clubs for their players.

They have a final figure in mind plus a minimum figure in mind and there is the unknown element of how that pans out when offers for Chelsea players are factored in.

Chelsea are close to shifting out most of their precieved deadwood to open up squad places for the league and Champions league.
Plus they made a few bob in the process.

But selling clubs also know that and they factor in the 'Abramovich premium' which is usual at least 10 per cent above what they would accept from most other clubs.

So who will the Blues nab?
Will they land their first choices?
This week is going to be interesting.
