  1. Tuchel told to fix transfer mistake as Fofana deal turns ugly https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/Chelsea-tuchel-mistake-fofana-comments-27836534 The Chelsea boss has been urged to correct a mistake the Blues made in the market years ago while Blues fans are coming to terms with finding out this season's Champions League opponents Chelsea currently look like a shadow of their former selves following a shaky start to the new Premier League season. The Blues most recent outing saw them on the wrong side of a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Leeds United in a contest that also saw summer signing Kalidou Koulibaly receive his marching orders after picking up two yellow cards in an afternoon he'll want to forget in a hurry. Mirror Football has collated all the Chelsea headlines and main talking points as they gear up for another huge tie at home to Leicester City this weekend. Tuchel urged to correct transfer error The Chelsea boss has received some words of wisdom from a former Blues player in the form of Glenn Johnson, who has called on his old side to sign Wesley Fofana. The Foxes defender has been the subject of interest to the West London-based outfit all summer given their own exodus at the back saw departures for both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, while Thiago Silva is not getting any younger. Chelsea have made multiple bids for the young Frenchman, all of which have been rejected so far. However, the Blues are reportedly willing to fork out as much as £80million on Fofana to try and force Leicester's into selling. “It does possibly make Chelsea ’s defence the strongest in the Premier League on paper. You’d have experience and youth as well as three athletes, so you’d struggle to get better than that," Johnson told Betting Odds. "Chelsea should have bought Fofana years ago. I’m surprised he’s been at Leicester this long because a few years ago he was one of the best defenders around and he couldn’t even get in the French team." Find Johnson's full assessment HERE. Rodgers makes pointed Fofana remark Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Fofana will continue to sit out of the Foxes action due to trying to force the club's hand into cashing in on him. The defender has made it clear he wants out amid interest from those over at Stamford Bridge, but his current club are standing firm in their stance he is only available for the right price. Chelsea's most recent offer came in at £70m, reportedly £10m short of even remotely tempting the Foxes. Fofana has been forced to train with the Under 23s after he failed to attend a first-team training session earlier in the week. "He won’t be available for the weekend. He has trained with our Under-21 squad," Rodgers explained. "For me, it’s always about the commitment and when the players are ready to commit to the ethos of the team. If they’re not in the right frame of mind, we have to move on. The window will shut and then things will become clearer." Read Rodgers' comments in full HERE. Boss Thomas Tuchel continues to cut an increasingly concerned figure as the transfer window's deadline draws closer with Chelsea yet to sign their desired number of players with the clock ticking.
  2. €94m for Antony, roflmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
  3. holy shit was Kounde pants versus Citeh just wow
  4. we have signed some over the years and my lists are pretty damn comprehensive, and then I narrow them down to the best of the best options I also am pragmatic and do not rant on about certain players when I know we have no shot atm like my preferred LB, Theo (I am fine with Cucu, but think we paid way too much, but hell he could turn ito the best LB on the planet, so time will tell) and preferred RWB, who we simply missed out on because he did not want to come here, Hakimi I wanted Jesus badly once it became clear that Osimhen was not a target and we had already missed out last year on Vlahovic the thing is, I am constantly evolving, and do not ramble on laser focused on shitting on one thing the closest I got to that lately was Sarr, as he is one of the worst defensive backs we have even had in the past 30 years
  5. every signing save for Werner I was against (and Werner was not my preferred CF ever, but I at least expected him to be able to hit the side of a barn) plus I wanted to sell CHO to the Bavarian cow milkers for their £40m bid I got so much stick for calling Puli a Bruce Buck special marketing gimmick did my typical long post with stats showing he was not a scorer and likely would not become one here I lost my shit when we did not move for Vlahovic or Osimhen over Donkeylukaka I do not trust dutch league players not named de Ligt or De Jongand reckned ziyech would not only be a bust, but we bought him when he was too old and when he flopped we would take an even bigger piss bath I said all along that Håaland and Mbappe were forever pipe dreams, broke down the money involved for Håland and showed that it would destroy us and we still would not win the league last year (I fully still believe that) and I was warning for ages about Rudiger contract, long before the ass sniffer press started to bay like poodles with worms and not just his, everyone knows I have been raging for ages (I lost my SHIT when we did not sell Snake when we still had leverage and time, and that was before I even joined here) about Matina's shit contractual management I also warned about the blowback from the 2018 Skripal poisonings that we were in dire straights eventually of having the club seized from Roman due to his Putin connections I wish to fuck I was dead wrong on everything, but alas, I have become Cassandra in blue (Cassandra was a Trojan priestess dedicated to the god Apollo and fated by him to utter true prophecies but never to be believed ironically Cassandra was raped by Ajax The Lesser for her troubles (she sussed out the Trojan Horse, but of course was not believed) although Athena and Poseidon killed Ajax (whose body washed up on Mykonos, so party party, lolol) Cassandra and Ajax
