@BigOrx @ryanadsett A feeder club that finishes below the team they buy all their players from 😂 😂

@ryanadsett Was always going to happen once Brighton became Chelsea’s feeder club. Eventually they were going to skip the middle man

If this is true, we seriously need to rethink the damage done with this Chelsea stuff

🚨EXCL: Chelsea are closing in on personal terms with Zadok Yohanna over a long-term contract valid until 2034. #CFC Player is very keen on the move and would pick Chelsea over Brighton, despite having a verbal agreement in place with #BHAFC. Chelsea is ready to offer a package worth around €25m for the player, with conversations with AIK expected to take place soon. Still unclear at this stage whether Yohanna would join Chelsea directly or be part of the Strasbourg pathway.🔵

@SebOnFootball Haaland has scored pretty much every time he’s faced Van Hecke.
English
Van Hecke has a lot of shithousery about him too, him and Haaland have very fun battles.
I love a defender that plays on the edge
English
@InvertTheWing Most errors leading to goals in the league and one of the slowest players I’ve ever seen play for us. He’ll fit in well at a joke club like Spurs.
English
WOW!
Tottenham with finally an ambitious, statement signing. Someone that can replicate the on the ball skills of Romero.
Great signing.

🚨 Tottenham Hotspur submit bid to sign Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton & Hove Albion. #THFC offer for 25yo centre-back below #BHAFC valuation so rejected, but talks continue in bid to strike agreement. Dutch int’l close to Roberto De Zerbi @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/73315…

@simonyemane He’s a brilliant passer but very slow and prone to mistakes (like to the 2 suspicious goals he gifted to Spurs in April). I can seem him struggling.
English
I rate Van Hecke on and off the ball.
His one weakness is the same as Senesi’s: neither is especially quick, which is why I’d want them playing together as little as possible.
But paired with Danso and VDV, I’d say it’s a pretty a balanced foursome.
English
@Lilywhite_Rose @szyexcl If Van Hecke hadn’t gifted Spurs 2 goals in April, they would have been relegated. All seems a bit fishy to me.
English
@SteffenFreund pretty disrespectful comments about Brighton. You do realise we’ve comfortably finished above Spurs 3 of the last 4 seasons?
English
@dreeezabz I wish the super league had gone ahead. English football would have been so much better for proper fans without the “big 6”.
English
@InvertTheWing And would cost £35 million more than your current transfer record.
English
@BennettsField Were they attacking each other and singing racist songs about their own players again?
English
Disgusting behaviour. They should be banned from Europe if they qualify again. Bringing shame on our country.

@ChelseaFC Yet he ended up finishing below the team he left 😂 😂

@KrisSmith98 Undav was good for us as well. We just couldn’t offer him regular first team football. @TheAthleticFC clueless as usual.
English
Talking about Undav like he's some pub player is an interesting approach

@LDNFootbalI Can’t have been that good if his new team ended up finishing below his old team.

@NizaarKinsella How do Chelsea get away with not having to sell players when they’ve spent billions and massively failed.
English
This remains the situation with Joao Pedro. 👇
Chelsea not interested in a sale and multiple sources close to the player indicate he is happy at Stamford Bridge and not looking to move.
Nizaar Kinsella@NizaarKinsella
Not only is Joao Pedro considered not for sale, he is also understood to be happy at Chelsea – even if he is not satisfied with the club’s current league position. He grew up watching the Premier League, which is why he chose Watford, and when he says it is a dream to play for Chelsea, he means it. Barcelona may admire him but are aware he is not a viable target and have other strikers in mind.
English
English
@FabrizioRomano Is the project to try copy Brighton and then still finish below them. 😂
English
🚨🔵 Understand Chelsea have been very clear with Barcelona: no intention at all to negotiate, discuss or talk about João Pedro.
#CFC see João as key part of project, it’s not about bid/value. No intention to sell at all.
Chelsea consider João untouchable. 🇧🇷
English
@MiguelDelaney All 3 would cost close to £200 million. Pretty sure Spurs wouldn’t be able to afford that.

@Cherries_FM You obviously have no idea of our history and the battle we had to get our stadium. Other PL fans will never know what it’s like to travel 2 hours each way to go to a home game every week.
English
Brighton’s stadium is better in capacity only.
No character, no beauty, awful location.
Genuinely looks like a video game render from 10 years ago.

@TheUnitedStrand @ManUtd Why don’t you support your local team?

@RichySouthern Rosenior as well. I’ve thought this for a while and I don’t like our part of this. I’d be more than happy if we never do anymore business with Chelsea and Strasbourg.
English
Brighton’s links with the Chelsea/Strasbourg setup are looking more dodgy by the week.
Chelsea signed Cucurella, Caicedo, Sánchez and João Pedro directly from Brighton.
Then Julio Enciso goes from Brighton to Strasbourg, with Chelsea his eventual destination.
Valentín Barco follows the exact same Brighton, Strasbourg pathway… develops there… and now signs for Chelsea too.
At what point does this stop looking like normal transfers between separate clubs and start looking like Brighton are unofficially part of the same multi club network?
Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomano
🚨🔵 Chelsea agree deal to sign Valentín Barco, here we go! 🇦🇷 Agreement in place with the player as RC Strasbourg will let Barco go after impressive improvement this year. #CFC ready to proceed for the Argentinian midfielder from June.

@curiousme159662 @gezim_hilaj @HullCity Just think it’s strange that your having a great weekend supporting your team in a play off final and your first thought is to sing about a political figure.
English
@DanSmith425754 @gezim_hilaj @HullCity I'm sure they sing about other subjects with equal alacrity. Try lightening up, Dan?
