Chelsea FC: 'Hopefully it’s banter - £155m gets you TWO top class players' - Fans react to Neymar transfer reports

Roman Abramovich had reportedly agreed a £155.5m transfer fee to bring the Brazil and Barcelona superstar to Stamford Bridge before the Italian boss blocked it.

Belgian forward Eden Hazard has continously been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Neymar was possibly thought of as a potential replacement, but he could also join Hazard in Chelsea's front three.
