But can he barge into players like a tractor?

In my auckland in August 2026 it's a preseason friendly with my 2024 established and founded Akl FC women debuting in 2026/27 A-League women season. New Zealand International Football Festival AUCKLAND FC WOMEN VS CFC WOMEN Eden Park, Auckland City 4pm NZL TIME KICKOFF KICK OFF TIMES SATURDAY 8 AUGUST 2026 AT 4PM NZST SAT 8 AUG 2026 AT 05:00 AM - UK ENG TIME https://edenpark.co.nz/events/saturday-8-august-2026-saturday-8-august-2026/ Auckland FC established their women's team on March 14, 2024, concurrent with the founding of the men's club. Although initially delayed, the team is scheduled to officially debut in the Ninja A-League Women competition in the 2027/28 season.While waiting to join the top flight, the club operates the Women's Talent Development Centre (WTDC), which was officially launched in September 2025 to scout and nurture female football talent in the region.

Ancelotti’s gone senile bless him.

Yep. That’s kind of my worry if we throw Penders into the fire too early. He may be super talented and the next Courtois but what if he comes in and makes even more mistakes than Sanchez because he’s so young? We’re in kind of a tricky place with keepers. We go sign a world class, super expensive keeper and that’s curtains for Penders’ chances here after we spent a huge amount of money on. We stick with Sanchez and we’re never going to be a truly top side. We put Penders in straight away and we risk him producing howlers as he’s getting up to speed.

I’m a fan of selling any player that doesn’t want to be here!

Problem is, he at the annoying reverse sweet spot (for want of a better word) where we need an upgrade for titles but can do a lot worse (as we've found out twice).

Yeah, ideally I don’t want to sell him. If he is happy to continue here then I’m happy with it too.

he literally said they should call up neymar over him.

he is any good or another potential player from strasbourg?

⏳️📋🔵Valentín Barco has everything agreed to continue his career at Chelsea. The official announcement could be made at the end of the season. ⏳️ (@urieliugt)

I remember Andrey turned down a good offer from saudi arabia to play in the world cup and now he wasn't called up for the national team. we could've gotten 70M€ for him

Its good for us. He can finally get some rest and come back stronger next season. If he were in brazil's squad and had a good world cup, barça would be much more interested in him. Btw, Palmer probably will be left of england squad and finally had a proper rest.

Ancelotti is really going to find out the hard way, Brazil are like Real Madrid full of egos, average players living on the past and it will all end in tears.

I feel for him. He deserved to be there. Has been our best player this season and hit 20 goals without any penalties included.

Good news

That’s shocking. By far Brazil’s best all around #9. I know the guy from Brentford had a nice season and everything, but wow. Guess we’ll get angry JP out to prove them wrong next season.

🔵🗯BREAKING! Joao Pedro both LEFT OUT of Brazil World Cup squad!

❌️Andrey Santos misses out on the Brazil World Cup Team.

Maresca wasn't all that, he will inherit Pep's City in the first season and the second season when it all goes Klopp/Slot is where he will be judged

Not a fan of selling main players in their prime. There's plenty of deadwood to sell before we get to Cucurella.

If Barco is indeed coming than I do definitely think Cucu is off to Spain. Barco + Hato as our left sided weapons that cover that entire side of the pitch. I love Cucu and he’s one of my favorite current Chelsea players but assuming the fee we get for him is good it’s probably smart business if Alonso is going to play with wingbacks.

⏳️💥🔵📋Breaking News Valentin Barco has officially left Racing Straßbourg he's joining Chelsea soon!!

Ngl, this definitely makes me lose a bit of respect for Maresca. It absolutely looks like he snaked his way out of here because he had been told Pep was going months ago and City wanted him to be the replacement. He’s got the plausible deniability to blame it on clashing with our board, and there likely WAS some of that, but no manager in his position just up and walks away from a top PL job with zero compensation if he didn’t already have something he considers better lined up. Maresca knew LONG before he left Chelsea that he was the next City manager and was working on it WHILST he was managing us. That’s fucked up, tbh…

✅️Enzo Maresca to City✅️
