The truth is, we're already in the fourth season and there's no evident improvement. Who believes that? Between choosing City or Chelsea, the choice is obvious.

‘The Project’ is a sham.

Not surprised probably heard the wages we were gonna pay and said yeah bye.

Ready made quality is the term your looking for

It would’ve been such an uncharacteristic Clearlake signing. They’re obsessed with this youth policy and putting dudes on 10 year contracts. But the player they’d break this obsession for is….Semenyo? Yeah, I don’t think there was a genuine attempt to get him. As good as he is he wasn’t ever going to be that one unbelievable talent that the club felt they just had to get no matter the cost like they did with Enzo and Caicedo. This was PR to make it appear like Chelsea is still in the mix for the same sorts of players that City and Liverpool are.

Who even knows what our project is!

smart guy I can not blame him, tbh

I find it hard to believe that we'll have another 6 seasons with this board.

For me it’s most likely #2. It sounds like Semenyo had made his mind up for quite a while that he’d go to City. He didn’t just decide today. So our genius directors just wanted it out there that we “tried” (though we actually didn’t) so that supporters would stop getting angry that we aren’t trying. Instead, it makes them look even worse.

The more and more I see and look into us enquiring about Semenyo, the more and more it feels like one of three possible things. One: a PR stunt. For the sakes of shits and giggles. Because well who’d be surprised. Two: Them trying to make us look relevant; to show we are willing to pay top dollar to rival/attract the top top players the likes of Liverpool and City are after a long spell of questionable recruitment of younger/lesser known players - we know its been mentioned by the media & fanbase about the strategy at this club far and wide. Three: Maybe to try please Maresca, the fallout from this outburst the other week has mentioned he reportedly wants some more experienced, top level players in the squad to push the team on. As opposed to youngsters that need time to develop. Enquiring about him before realising we don’t need him as we are already stocked in wide areas though? Why even bother picking up the phone in the first place 😂 Also again. Another attacking linked but not one link to a top GK or top CB - when will they fucking learn….

In his report linking us with Semenyo this morning Ornstein mentioned that any move for him would be us deciding to move forward our plans from summer 2026. How about instead of doing that with an attacker we do so for a midfielder? Feel like that’s much more sensible than an attacker when we’re overloaded there now. In midfield Lavia has disappeared into the abyss again with no signs that he’s going to play again any time soon and Essugo is a mystery as well.

Reworded.... Chelsea will likely dodge another out and out number 9 and top class striker in the summer window

🟢It is more likely that any attacking reinforcements for Chelsea will come in the summer transfer window. (@EveningStandard)

Off to City, bye bye

Go buy a serious CB or two before we even discuss another attacker. And with another young talent arriving next year no less. This squad building is so bizarre

The way City are trending now, if they get Semenyo and keep Haaland fit I think they could win everything again this season. Sure must be nice to be a serious club. Buying plug and play quality rather than players you can tell will be shit before ever pulling on your shirt like Gittens.

EXCL: Antoine Semenyo preference is to join Man City in January. Nothing formal until market opens but AFCB attacker favours MCFC. Man Utd pushed hard + never planned to use 25yo at wing-back but winter switch was always tough for MUFC. (@David Ornstein)

We have seen this PR before. Why is this fanbase still falling for this shit lol. I can’t wait for everyone to wake up and start prioritising getting these owners out.

My question is why the fuck we’d brief everyone that we have registered our interest only to pull out (or be rejected) within a couple of hours? Why not brief everyone instead that “Chelsea are looking at attackers now with an eye on 2026?” Feels like complete idiocy to tell every credible journalist a specific name and then instantly pull the rug after all our supporters got excited.

💣BRIEFING ALARM BRIEFING ALARM💣

And....stocked in the areas he can play because we have hemorrhaged stupid cash on wingers instead of being sensible and using it on defenders and a keeper The close the eyes and pin the tail on the donkey has to stop

We looked a super exciting team in the summer after winning the CWC Players are now clearly recognizing we are well below the levels of challenging for the league

Yep. If we hadn’t brought Gittens be a different story perhaps. But yeah. Top player wouldn’t of come here regardless probably. Why enquire though? Thats the bit that makes 0 sense if there was no intentions of pursuing a deal. Just looks amateurish.

If you added up 2 and 2 got 8 that's what this transfer was, he was never coming here with all our wingers, never in a million years The last thing we need is another winger

Semenyo link dead after only a couple of hours. He probably told us thanks but no thanks. Tbf, an attacking wide player didn’t make much sense in January.
