If Chelsea double their bid, perhaps a discussion can be started.

Luiz cost £50 million
Because he says something that instills rage in us, hope in Chelsea and gets people talking, gets retweeted loads and generates ad revenue from clicks on his site. Today's media doesn't care about facts, only clicks.
Just another tabloid muppet, probably touching himself with excitement at all the retweets he's getting, absolute clown!
You're second guessing a lot there sir.
Offering him a better contract to reflect his worth is a definite positive. On principle yes it would pain somewhat but if it meant one more thing that could tip the player into staying then we would be foolish not to consider it.
It's common practice in employment to offer more wages when someone has a better offer if the company want to retain the employee.

I wouldn't do it now though. There's enough going on in his life without sticking a contract under his nose. As a minimum, I'd wait till the window's closed.
We've said he's not for sale, opening up contract negotiations now would make us look worried.
Have the chat now then, make it clear we will sit down and review his remuneration after the Transfer Window closes with some ballpark figures.

Some posters don't that's my point!Joey Joey we get your point(s)
Why? So the agent and every other agent in the land can pull the same trick every 12 months?
Status of the club comes into play - you've signed a five year contract with Everton; he should be expected to honour more than 20% of that without discussing it further surely?

Dear Chelsea fans. Everton fan here. Hello. We don't want your money. Not 30. Not 40. Not 50. Genuinely.
50m buys you a hell of a player. But that 50m player won't sign for us.
Your money is useless to us. The best we can get is a bunch of Europa league talents that can sit on the bench behind the few CL level players we have and the rest of our Europa level players.
We can buy a bunch of Shaqiri's ... decent players with too many red flags for the truly great teams.
We can also buy a bunch of unfinished articles ... decent players who need more time to develop and half of which will flame out and flush that money down the toilet.
Maybe we could sign Balotelli too!
Oh and don't forget Johnny Evans.
But we won't get better in the longrun. Just like Spurs didn't get better from selling Bale and the RS didn't get better selling Suarez. We all know now. Go away. Not for sale. Build us a stadium and then maybe we can talk ... until then go away.
And keep in mind this comes from a fan-base flying banners over our stadium because we hate our board who don't invest. We have paid money for ONE senior player this window. We are dead last in spend and low on the net spend table too. Not just for this year -- for over a decade now. And despite all of that -- the vast majority us still don't want to sell to buy and are prepared to go completely mad if our board sells Stones. That's how little most of us believe in this sell to buy fallacy.
So they bid 30 and the journos figured "whoops ... the figure we completely made up -- 30-35m -- is obviously not right so let's say they are holding out for 40 now." And people believe this!
So I'm reading an article written by someone with the intellectual capacity of an eight year old ... golden retriever.
