🚨 Chelsea exploring deal to sign Facundo Buonanotte from Brighton. 21yo attacking midfielder expected to be gettable for ~€40m. Move for Argentinian international does not impact #CFC interest in Brendan Aaronson or other options to strengthen attack

@JohyanCruyff Paying 90 million for 2 potentials when Tyrique George was there

Only question mark I have over Gittens, the potential is there, but we don’t see the character behind the scenes
Hopefull Bayern’s assessment will turn out wrong
Bayern & Germany@iMiaSanMia
Niko Kovač advised Bayern against signing one of his own Dortmund players last year How? Last summer, after Bayern failed to sign priority target Nico Williams, they turned to alternatives. One of them was Dortmund's Jamie Gittens. The supervisory board, including Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, was skeptical about the player. A club employee was tasked with contacting Niko Kovač to get an honest opinion from him about Gittens. Kovač is said to have made it more than clear that he considers the Englishman "not professional enough" to succeed at FC Bayern. The club then abandoned the pursuit of Gittens and went all in on Luis Díaz. Gittens ended up joining Chelsea [@BILD, Bayern Insider]

There was nothing about Gittens that required a £60m bid. He wasn't in demand, didn't have a good season, had training issues and didn't even play well for England U-21s.
He did have one thing though - his agent is incredibly close to Joe Shields. We're talking family-level.

Nothing sums up the failure of Chelsea's "structure" more than Gittens being at the club.
Dortmund put a price-tag of £35m for him, we ended up paying £60m. He's hopelessly out of his depth, to make things worse.
He's here solely to make Joe Shields' friends and family rich.

@elIisburner Why would anyone be excited when the trajectory is relegation 1 win in like 10 games
English
Is anyone else just not excited at all for Chelsea next season

Joining the squad this summer… 💫

@BenjaminOnuzur1 @drsportsmedia Nah be real that won’t happen you will probably get Europa next season

Why are Chelsea never involved in signing these experienced older players ????

🚨💣 BREAKING: Real Madrid sent official proposal to Bernardo Silva, advanced talks to try sign the midfielder. Deal underway with Mourinho pushing and Real confident to anticipate Barça & Atlético. He’s a priority for JM, as @jfelixdiaz reports. 🎥➕ youtu.be/Mdw2wzHvRx4?si…

That's Tropicana vs Sprite to me
Jackson is Tropico. So much sugar that it's wonderful but you can not drink it everyday
Joao Pedro is Sprite. Sparkling, familiar with enough sugar to tame the lemon flavour, but there's something missing to be #1 drink.

@SebC__ @AmiralFacts We need ur opinion on the Joao Pedro vs Jackson debate

One thing i can agree on is we definitely destroyed the Prem midfield market. 60m on relegated Lavia. 115m on Caicedo when we could've easily gotten him for less and 106 for enzo
English
@ThePotey @foolishlycool78 @AnfieldEdition Actually Neto was 54 , Felix was 45. Or you think those are unreasonable prices?
English
@BenjaminOnuzur1 @foolishlycool78 @AnfieldEdition You signed Pedro Neto for £60m and Felix for £50m?
English
If Forest are going to get £120m or so for Anderson, it seems unlikely that Palace are going to ask for anything less than £100m for Adam Wharton now.
English
@ThePotey @foolishlycool78 @AnfieldEdition If Chelsea is the cause, why wasn't there big money moves between Jan 2024 and July 2025
English
@foolishlycool78 @AnfieldEdition Nooo, Chelsea have caused all this. We wouldn’t of been quoted them fees if it wasn’t for them

@iget_manaz @GucciUnkno77987 @WajirTweep @AlbicelesteTalk 47 goals conceded that whole season, I'm sorry the attack was bad 38 goals scored.

@GucciUnkno77987 @WajirTweep @AlbicelesteTalk Lol did u see the numbers of goals we conceded in transition 🤣🤣🤣

Enough with this box crasher gimmick, Enzo's role should always be the one he's playing at now.
These passes he's delivering is insane..

Caicedo lmao. Chelsea fans are fools

We all know Declan Rice is a good player, but how do you quantify his performance against a top scorer or an assists leader? Out of 47 graded categories for central midfielders, Rice ranks inside the top ten in 27. To put that into perspective, the second-highest graded CM in the league by Overall Grade, James Garner, ranks in the top ten in 18 categories. #AFC

Alonso should be judged to a very high standard from the very beginning at Chelsea.
The squad is already in an amazing position despite the club embarrassingly finishing 10th last season.
Quality & depth wise, it's just short of Arsenal + City.
But the culture is on the floor.
