Just like Ross and Rachael were off and on again a few hundred times, Chelsea's deal to get Jules Kounde to London isn't going smoothly.
Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have done all they can so far to convince the player that Stamford Bridge is the destination for him but the longer it takes to get the green light from Sevilla, the larger the chances the deal goes wrong.
With Barcelona waiting in the wings trying to scupper the deal, delay the move and hold up negotiations whilst they frantically prepare their own offer, it has become not only one of the longest transfer dramas to memory, it's now bordering on ridiculous.
