🔵🗯Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain are among the clubs maintaining a watching brief on Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez for the summer. (@SimonJones_DM) J.Alvarez (N.Jackson)👀👀

Marseille getting Nwaneri on loan, great move for them

loool ahah

Maybe a finance issue in terms of European competitions next season Guessing the club thought they could get him for a reasonable fee (40 mil) but Rennes want 60 million.

Even with a decent fee, they would have to get a replacement in pretty quickly.

Mamadou Sarr for Senegal 🤩

I will always be bitter about this one what a disaster

everything spuds toches dies, lolol

The only 2 wingers I would take over Olise atm, on the planet, are Yamal and (assuming we count him as a winger still and not a CF at the end of the day) Mbappe. Raphinha turns 30yo this coming December, and I deffo rate Olise atm over Saka, Vini Jr, Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, and, atm, the 2 potentially better very young ones, Kenan Yıldız and, of course, Estêvão. Olise, (who just turned 24yo), in only 2200 minutes, already has 13 goals and 20 assists, all comps. He has the most total assists on the planet for all players, all positions, who play in the top 15 global leagues.

Can a small club like Bournemouth really let him go for free in the summer if they can get a decent fee now?

and my post (which again, the original source of was not a football-only rumour-whore site, the source was a 100 year old respected Spanish newspaper) did not make any wild 'omg he is Chels bound!' claims it just said that Vini was very unhappy and acting out (which is on camera to a degree from their games anyway) to point he wants to leave (which he told the now sacked Xabi to his face when he was pulled in the Supercup v Barca)

Senesi ain't leaving Bournemouth this window

yes, Sarr and Anselmino make not getting Jacquet a less bitter pill to swallow (if we do not get him over the line), especially from what I have seen of Sarr The one CB I simply cannot get over not grabbing was Huijsen. Losing out on him was a gut shot, no doubt. The only thing that made it a tiny tiny bit better was that it was Real Madrid, one of only 2 clubs (Barca of course being the other) that we will lose out to almost everytime (when they REALLY want a player), due to global players' dreams. Now, those two clubs aside, we, Chels, are number 3 on the 'dreams list' for yoing players globally, after them. The only exception might be some Italians who want to stay in Italy (basically Inter/AC/Juve), but those players are RARE (as an example, look now, even Bastoni is starting to hint he wants to go abroad, although watch him end up at Real or, a wee less likely, Barca, ffs!) Manure used to be number 3, but almost 15 years of shit football is killing that 'dream-production line', plus, who the fuck would want to live in Manchester over London, lolol.

Can tell this is another Olise situation isn’t it !? Show interest with no real intention of actually getting him to the make a last minute move for some bang average player and say, well we tried! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Seen this script before. Hope i’m wrong this time around as I’m hearing very good things about this JJ lad.

Forget Jacquet, get Senesi for a fraction of the price, and then wait for Sarr or Anselmino to return in the summer to bolster our numbers if necessary. What we badly need is a LCB anyways which Senesi is. Then we’d have 2 high quality, natural left sided options in that position with him and Colwill.

Dont bothet me too much, tbh Rennes are smart but I hope we dont make any unrealistic bid

I read that this bloke from Rennes that they aren't budging from their valuation Wonder how much fucking pussy footing around we will do with this one before we decide to walk away Pay it or move on

Why not? Even if the source if crap, we can discuss the idea/possibility of signing players. This topic is about commenting rumours, isn't it?

I wouldn't want the petulant little fuck here anyway

I rarely post any Spanish sources, and I find Marca and/or AS to not be truly top tier either. Back to Vini Jr, I DO think he is very unhappy and absolutely can see him leaving Real (not to Chels btw)

please post only marca and AS

what shit sources do I post? I rip Fichajes all the time, never post them as factual, I say the opposite. As for that Vini Jr story, the source is El Periódico Mediterráneo, generally considered a reliable, long-standing local newspaper for Castellón, Spain, known for its balanced, rigorous reporting and commitment to local interests, acting as the region's leading media outlet under Prensa Ibérica since 2019, though its specific journalistic biases should always be considered, like any regional news source.

If Vini ever leaves Madrid it could really only be for one of three clubs. PSG or one of the Manchester clubs. Those are the only 3 that would pay his monstrous wage demands. Think he’s too young to go to Saudi yet.

fuck that git and fuck Boehly for buying him and paying him £17m per year for 5 years

why you continue to post shit sources?
