As the article I just poseted Journos are just sensationist. How can you write about something like that when the season just started? Ridicoules people, they just never learn. People start on fire and fade away while others are slower to pick up. What matters is the entire season and see how we do at the end. But then again they are journos and need to sell and click and bait. The truth is that is too early to judge, we need more time and data to come to conclusion.

Arsenal's Noni Madueke: Were Chelsea right to allow winger to join Gunners after his impressive start to the season? Noni Madueke has impressed since the beginning of the season for both Arsenal and England; the 23-year-old winger joined the Gunners from Chelsea in the summer for £52m - amid his performances and Chelsea's alternatives struggling, were the Blues right to let him go? William Bitibiri Football Journalist @williambitibiri Tuesday 16 September 2025 09:55, UK Image:Were Chelsea right to let Noni Madueke leave and join rivals Arsenal? Noni Madueke divided opinion during his two-and-a-half years at Chelsea. However, since making the switch to Arsenal for £52m, there may already be feelings of regret at Stamford Bridge. The 23-year-old appears to be a man renewed at the Emirates, with his performances for both his new club and England being what Chelsea fans expected when they signed the winger from PSV in 2023.

The hashtag 'No to Madueke' trended on social media as the deal neared completion. There were suggestions that Arteta had prioritised the signing, with questions raised after he was recruited before Eberechi Eze when interest for Arsenal's new No 10 had cooled. Also See: Chelsea fixtures Stream the Premier League with no contract Chelsea news and transfer latest Get Sky Sports Live Premier League table However, Arteta's pursuit of Madueke has already been justified with Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury on matchday two against Leeds, forcing the need for an adequate replacement on the right.

In four appearances in the league for Arsenal thus far, Madueke ranks third in the Premier League for chances created per 90 minutes played with 2.76, and fourth for successful take-ons per match with 58.3 per cent. In his most recent league outing - Arsenal's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest - Madueke created the most chances in the game and completed the most dribbles and crosses, as well as winning the most duels. Gary Neville was high in his praise of Madueke's display, following on from his goal and performance for England in their 5-0 win over Serbia. "Madueke's a lot better than I imagined and thought he would be, and certainly a lot better than Arsenal fans thought he would be," Neville said. "A couple of the runs that he made for England on Wednesday night were a different level. "I thought, those runs... Arjen Robben used to make those runs against me. Sometimes you play against wingers who are dribbling at you and you know they've got a trick and you know you're going to be in for a difficult day, and then you've got players who are a step above, a level above. "I'm not saying Madueke's there yet, but his movements and the things he's doing are very, very good." Following his performance in Arsenal's win over Forest there was talk about a more selfless Madueke at Arsenal. There appears to be a greater patience in his play as he builds an understanding with Jurrien Timber, allow him to overlap but also intentionally driving towards the byline to create. He has had fewer shots per match than he was averaging at Chelsea last season with a greater emphasis now perhaps on facilitating his team-mates rather than taking on responsibility for output. Madueke scored 11 goals and set up five last season for Chelsea in all competitions. Arsenal fans will hope for the numbers to soon follow his performances. However, early signs have been positive. Has the alternative been better for Chelsea? Image:Jamie Gittens was among the summer signings made to fill the hole Madueke left in Chelsea's attack Chelsea's transfer policy of targeting promising young talent continued into the most recent window. Garnacho came through the door from Manchester United, while Estevao finally arrived after the Club World Cup and Gittens made the switch from Dortmund. The latter has come under some criticism for his displays so far. He underwhelmed as Chelsea were held at Brentford. His hooking at 1-0 down in the second period proved a turning point with Cole Palmer, scorer of Chelsea's equalising goal within minutes, introduced in his place. Garnacho, who came on for his debut, showed positive flashes despite potentially being at fault for Brentford's late equaliser as he left Fabio Carvalho unmarked as he fired home in injury-time. However, Garnacho's positivity led to Moises Caicedo's goal as he charged down the left before his cross, which Brentford failed to clear, fell to the Ecuadorian midfielder who was able to pick his spot from the edge of the area. Gittens has played on the left since arriving at Stamford Bridge. Estevao, who started in Chelsea's opening two games and impressed, missed the trip to Brentford through illness, so Neto played on the right. Share This is a modal window. Unsupported location The video you are trying to watch cannot be viewed from your current country or location FREE TO WATCH: Highlights from Brentford’s Premier League clash with Chelsea Estevao's start to life in west London has made him a shoo-in when fit. He excites on the ball but showed during an impressive last season that he can score goals too. The 18-year-old also picked up his first assist against West Ham. At 21 years old, it is fair to suggest that Gittens' best is yet to come. At Dortmund, his numbers were impressive, especially when compared to Madueke and Neto ahead of his move to Chelsea. However, the Premier League is the proverbial 'different animal' that Gittens must adapt to quickly. His high-speed dribbling offered him much respite in the Bundesliga, but in the Premier League he will find there is less space and defenders are more than a match for speed without much intent. Madueke was offered a period to adapt when he returned to these shores from a spell in the Netherlands. The pair share similarities in their game, but that time to adapt has helped Madueke greatly. It would only be fair to offer Gittens that time too. But the fear for him would be that Chelsea's depth in attack may not provide margin for error or inconsistency. If he wants to stay in the team, he will have to make the most of his opportunities, which he has failed to do so far.

We went for him in the first window and then went back for him, we did everything to get him but it just felt wrong and not the right signing and quality. Just a weird and bizarre signing

At the time felt like a downgrade to sancho , much less technically gifted. I imagine he will be benched all season for garnacho and also neto at times. Probably loaned out by next summer. Was close to being a great window but they messed it up

I guess you can see why Chelsea tried to sign a striker late on after Liam Delap got…View the full article

We have the squad to beat them. Its our defence that's the worry

Unleash estevao on them

Some people are confident we will beat Bayern with easy cause of their high line... I am not confident at all - Maresca has terrible record vs top clubs, wining only one game vs PSG (ok, that was great win) and maybe you can add the win vs hangover Liverpool. Other than that not only we couldn't beat Arsenal, City, first game vs Pool, but we were poor in those matches. Bayern defense is not great, that's true. But their attack - Kane, Gnabry, Olise and Diaz vs our shaky defense - ouch.

If we did sign a keeper, we'd still be stuck with Sanchez and Jorgensen on the books with even lower re-sale value. The Maignan deal made sense as he was old enough to play a few seasons and if Penders is as good as they say, he would be ready to fight for that #1 spot in 2 years time.

I was surprised Buonanotte was hooked off at H/T. He looked tidy and dangerous and was connecting well with Pedro. For his first appearance, I thought he did well and deserved to continue.

On 2 September 2025, Premier League club Manchester City announced the signing of Donnarumma on a five-year deal, with an option for a further year, for a reported transfer fee of £26 million. His salary is reportedly £13m this season £14m in the 2nd and 3rd year and £15m in the 4th and 5th years (and probably £15m the 6th year, the option year, as well) that is £71m just in salary for 5 years, and probably £86m if they exercise the option PLUS he can earn salary bonus of around £2.5m per season based off performance (personal and club) that kicks it up to around a potential £101m in toto just in salary/bonuses for the full 6 years add in the £26m tranfer fee £127m total potential outlay for 6 years and his agent perhaps got some pay-off as well (I admit I do not know that, nor do I know IF he himself got a signing bonus) I simply cannot see our owners committing to that level of spend for a GKer, not with so many already on our books and Penders hopefully coming into our Sr team soon

There are not ALL that many actually 'marquee' AND remotely available players in postions we need GK Diogo Costa Gregor Kobel (not really suited to our style of play) plus 3 older (33, 34yo next summer) ones: Jan Oblak Emiliano Martinez Alisson LCB Alessandro Bastoni Murillo Alessandro Buongiorno RCB (no clear perfect 'big name' targets) Leny Yoro (probably not possible next summer, maybe never) Bremer (but will be 29yo in March) Giorgio Scalvini only IF fully recovered Ronald Araujo only IF he gets back to WC level, which is a big if DMF Bruno Guimarães (but turns 29yo in fall 2026) Aurélien Tchouaméni (probably not available) Aleksandar Pavlovic (crazy hard pull) Adam Wharton Carlos Baleba (insanely expensive) Ruben Neves (wild card, crazy good passer and a less costly fee, a real vet and leader, I love him, but he turns 29yo in March) CMF Nicolò Barella (but turns 30yo in march 2027) Gavi Eduardo Camavinga Sandro Tonali Warren Zaïre-Emery Frenkie de Jong (turns 30yo at the end of next season (26/27) though) AMF Jamal Musiala (IF recovered, and also he would cost well over £100m IF Bayern would even sell and IF he would even want to come here) Morgan Rogers Fermin Lopez (do not think he leaves Barca next summer either) Nico Paz (Real Mardid will exercise their buy-back though, so very unlikely) Winger Kenan Yildiz Rodrygo Bradley Barcola Rafael Leão (hard pass) Malick Fofana CF (all 3 are likely not available, plus almost all top CFs are now locked in at new or old clubs, the 3 listed are the only ones even potentially not situated like that) Julian Alvarez Lautaro Martinez Victor Osimhen so as you can see there are only five main targets for me that would be 'marquee' signings IMHO: Diogo Costa (and probaly not needed IF Penders is soon ready) Bastoni (my dream CB signing for years) Adam Wharton Morgan Rogers Kenan Yıldız wild card signing of a non GK vet; Ruben Neves

Ligue 1 is miles ahead of both of these leagues. It also became a sort of farmer league for PL, they taylor made players for us, high percentage of players signed from there work out here. We can send players like Sarr or Paez as last step to RSC, if they work out there, they can be promoted to Chelsea. But from Belgian league? I don't think so. It's very wise we chose to invest there.

Well no, but the latest statement attributed to him is believable and consistent with the previous reporting.

i mean, we cant expect him to come out now and say it that he really wanted to join us and that he's disappointed in barcas board for rejecting...

But there's a problem I have, and I'm skeptical of UN, they are so biased I have a problem with this: Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruciton of a racial. How can it be deliberate when they are their because of Hamas? If anything it would be hamas that is doing genocide as they provoke this and don't nothing to stop as they don't care for their people. If Gaza are startving then how come Hamas is still kicing on about? So I have a problem with that part of deliberate. The other parts of the definition of genocide are true, Israel is doing that. I don't deny that. The blockade, bombing and all that stuff is true. BUT the definition of genocide is also adding "with the intent to eliminate the groups existence". I don't see that intent when they are their because of Hamas and Hamas still fighting. I will agree with this definition if say Hamas surrender, gives back all the hostage and then Israel continues attacking for no good reason. Then I will say 100 percent genocide.

Maybe. Though with respect I prefer to take the word of over 120 organisations and Genocide Study experts, historians and UN Genocide qualified professionals, Israeli Holocaust experts and holocaust survivors along with the Isareli group B'tselem According to a United Nations special committee,Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières, B'Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights–Israel, International Federation for Human Rights, numerous genocide studies and international law scholars(including the International Association of Genocide Scholars), and many other experts, Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians during its ongoing blockade, invasion, and bombing of the Gaza Strip.[ Experts and human rights organisations identified acts of genocide, such as large-scale killing and use of starvation as a weapon of war, with the intent to destroy Gaza's population in whole or in part. Other such genocidal acts include destroying civilian infrastructure, killing healthcare workers and aid-seekers, using mass forced displacement, committing sexual violence, and preventing births. By August 2025, the Gaza Health Ministry had reported that at least 60,138 people in Gaza had been killed—1 out of every 37 people—averaging 91 deaths per day. Most of the victims are civilians, of whom at least 50% are women and children.[Compared to other recent global conflicts, the numbers of known deaths of journalists, humanitarian and health workers, and children are the highest. Thousands more uncounted dead bodies are thought to be under the rubble of destroyed

Thanks for the video. Yes he is asking some questions that to me needs to be address when this is all over. And those should be address when this all over, because no war is eternal. I would think the own Israelites will do a thorought investigation into this and if this is true he would be jailed. Which in all fact I think a lot of people in their should be jailed. They are not committing genocide but more like war crime and officers and what not should go to jail once this is all over.

Its interesting as I said - the actual debate where he is changing his views on Isarel has been deleted from Youtube ! Its like we said free speech ? Mmm Luckily some commentators actually recorded the debate/interview. But fuck me the level of censorship is scary.

Keep saying it, in a summer when Donnarumma was easily attainable we missed a massive massive opportunity

Chelsea plans for 2026: “I’m told Chelsea are looking at several opportunities for example at centre back. If there’s a young player with some good quality then for Chelsea “it’s always time” for a good opportunity, currently tracking many talents especially from abroad.” (@FabrizioRomano)

The signing of Donnarumma is one of the best signings City will make, he is like a monster in between the those goals

In one thing where i was debating with vesper is that often times when you read an article it will be highly bias. They tend to take one word or phrase to build their entire teaching. For example I been doing some more further research on what Kirk believe in Immigration just by listening to his word, in context, with no cuts and all that nonsenese that Journos and people do. And it came out a very thought out process. From 14:03 to 24:40 he gives a detail response as to his view on immigration. And I have to say my man gives a thoughtful view. I still don't agree with his point of view with immigration but this is much smarter then labels he got thrown as xenophobic and what not. That's why I tend to be very skeptical with articles and what not as they tend to have a bias and choose and pick what they want.

In the summer transfer window, Juventus considered the possibility of signing Emanuel Emegha. In the Premier League, there was interest from Aston. And then from Champions League club Bayern Munich. (@FabrizioRomano) Chelsea are looking to extend Moises Caicedo’s contract with a pay rise which could take him to a salary of £200,000

Spanish PM calls for Israel to be barred from international sport Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for Israel to be excluded from international sports competitions over its actions in Gaza. "Israel cannot continue to use any international platform to whitewash its image," Earlier in the day, Sánchez had said that previous protests during the three-week race had shown that Spain "shines as an example, with pride" on the Gaza issue. Several Spanish government ministers also praised the final stage protest, which involved about 100,000 people, according to official figures. "It's a relief to me that thousands and thousands of people mobilise against that genocide, because it is genocide and it has no other name," said Óscar López, the minister of digital transformation. Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun also said Israel should not take part in the next Eurovision Song Contest, repeating calls made by Sánchez earlier this year. "We have to make sure that Israel does not take part in the next Eurovision," Urtasun said. The public broadcasters of Ireland and the Netherlands have already said they will not participate if Israel is included in the contest, because of the "appalling" and "severe" loss of lives and human suffering in Gaza. A recent poll by the Elcano Royal Institute think tank indicated at least 82% of Spaniards believe genocide is being committed in Gaza. Two days after Sánchez's announcement, the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, called for a suspension of free trade and bilateral support with Israel, as she spoke of the "man-made famine" in Gaza. Von der Leyen also lamented what she called Europe's "painful" inability to find an adequate response to Israel's actions. Israel controls all border crossings into the Gaza Strip, and as the occupying power bears responsibility for protecting civilian life under international law, which includes the prevention of starvation.
