Fuck Bayern

Should Arsenal avoid defeat against Leeds, they will match Chelsea’s record of 43 consecutive home league games without losing to a newly promoted side, set between 2001 and 2015.

That was £60m NET amortised profit needed, not £60m in gross sales.

No, unfortunately. I so hope that we not are reliant on having to sell both Nkunku and Nico (as we are now likely to get a shit sales price) just to balance the ledger.

The new players are going to lose their minds if they have no CL. Plus I also think there will be massive new fines as well from UEFA which would count against our books for balance next year. Spiralling down if things go truly pear shaped. 😞

We are in real danger of not being able to register our new players for the CL and also not being able to do any more incomings if we cannot sell Nico and/or Nkunku. So no Simons, no Garnacho, no lefty CB, and certainly no new GKer. We are well fucked in the CL if we cannot register any of the new players.

Nkunku to Bayern looking atm like it's collapsed. They refuse anything other than a no obligation loan. Fucking Bavarian gameplayers.

IF Enzo is sold (highly unlikely this window) these are the main 4 I am looking at to replace him Aleksandar Pavlovic Adam Wharton Marc Casadó Ayyoub Bouaddi (doesn't turn 18 until October 2, 2025)

We very likely will not be able to register any of the new signings for the CL, unless we sell Enzo to Real Madrid, or some other wild, out of left field sale

I do not like it either it looks cheap

he is not on List A the only list that counts towards balancing the books in the 'deal' we accepted from UEFA for breaching their rigourous FFP rules

here are the only players left we can sell who count towards balancing our UEFA books Tyrique George does NOT count towards balancing the ledger, nor do any others not listed strikethroughs are already sold, sent back (Sancho), or in one case, cannot be sold due to a ban (Muddy Thee Doper) bold red are the two left we want to sell Lucas Bergstrom Filip Jorgensen Robert Sanchez Tosin Adarabioyo Benoit Badiashile..... cannot sell, grrrr, as he is injured atm, and also the fucking board somehow still rates him, grrrrrrrrrr Trevoh Chalobah Marc Cucurella Malo Gusto Reece James Mathis Amougou Moises Caicedo Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall Enzo Fernandez Marc Guiu Nicolas Jackson Noni Madueke Mykhailo Mudryk massive ratfuck with the pronger getting dope-banned, grrrrrrrr Christopher Nkunku Cole Palmer Pedro Neto Jadon Sancho hopefully this shows why I am so worried atm

more German ratfuckery out and about............................ Christopher Nkunku move to RB Leipzig hits snag https://www.tntsports.co.uk/football/transfers/2025-2026/christopher-nkunku-Chelsea-rb-leipzig-napoli-manchester-united-rasmus-hojlund-liverpool-rodrygo-reports-rumours_sto23213369/story.shtml In Thursday's edition of Euro Transfer News, Chelsea and RB Leipzig are in disagreement over the terms of a potential return to the Bundesliga for Christopher Nkunku Nkunku exit under threat Chelsea's aim of offloading attacker Christopher Nkunku has been thrown into jeopardy, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg. The France international has been linked with a return to former side RB Leipzig, having made 62 appearances for The Blues in his two full seasons at the club. But Plettenberg reports that Leipzig are unwilling to take back the 27-year-old on a permanent deal, preferring a loan option. "Leipzig’s position on Christopher Nkunku has not changed. The interest is there, they admire him, and Leipzig remain in contact with Chelsea," wrote Plettenberg on X, formerly Twitter. "However, a permanent transfer is currently ruled out by RB - if anything, it would have to be a loan deal. "Chelsea’s stance remains clear: a permanent deal, or at the very least, an obligation to buy."

just make the FCWC badge smaller and then it doesn't dominate our club crest it is too damn big now

Chelsea Adjusts Club World Cup Badge Placement for Premier League Season https://www.footyheadlines.com/2025/08/Chelsea-adjusts-club-world-cup-badge-placement-for-premier-league-season.html Badge Repositioning: Chelsea has adjusted the placement of their FIFA Club World Cup badge on their Premier League kit, moving it higher on the chest compared to its position during pre-season. Sporting iD Instruction: The badge's relocation was directed by Sporting iD, the Premier League's badge manufacturer, to ensure the FIFA badge doesn't overshadow the club crest. Fan Dissatisfaction: The new badge position has been met with controversy among supporters, who find the higher placement awkward and prefer the design of previous Club World Cup badges. Chelsea took to the pitch for their opening Premier League match with a noticeable change to their kit that differed from what was seen during their pre-season tour. The gold FIFA Club World Cup champion badge has been repositioned on the chest. During pre-season matches, the gold CWC badge was positioned centrally, sitting directly between the Nike Swoosh and the Chelsea club crest. However, for the official start of the Premier League season, the badge has been moved higher up on the chest, now placed centrally above the two logos. Image via chuyenaodau The adjustment was not an arbitrary decision by the club. According to reports, the change was made following official instructions from Sporting iD, the manufacturer of the badges for the Premier League. The rationale for pushing the badge higher is to prevent the prominent FIFA badge from overshadowing the club's own crest, giving both elements more visual space. Despite the intention, the new placement has stirred controversy among supporters. Many feel the higher position looks awkward or unbalanced. This discussion is often linked to the general dissatisfaction with the current circular CWC badge compared to the more traditional, and fan-favorite, shield-shaped version used in previous years, which many believe was better designed and easier to integrate into a kit's layout. Following their win in the historic first Club World Cup with the new format, Chelsea will have the badge on their kit for the next four seasons.

Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku to be left out of Chelsea squad vs. West Ham https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6566741/2025/08/21/Chelsea-transfers-nicolas-jackson-nkunku/ Enzo Maresca has confirmed Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku will not be in the Chelsea squad to face West Ham United on Friday despite being available for selection. Jackson was suspended for the club’s opening match against Crystal Palace while Nkunku did not make the bench for the 0-0 draw on Sunday despite being fit. Both players are up for sale and Maresca has already put summer signings Joao Pedro and Liam Delap ahead of the forwards in the pecking order. Maresca said: “He (Nico) is available but he is not going to be part of the squad because we have two strikers in that position and also something can happen before the window closes. Christo is with us like Nico but he (his future) is the same answer as Nico.” Jackson has attracted interest from Premier League clubs while RB Leipzig have stepped up talks over re-signing Nkunku.

Chelsea must find a way to become the sum of their spending in the final third if the world champions are to become English champions again When asked if there is a way back for the duo in his plans if neither get a transfer before the deadline on September 1, he added: “No idea to be honest. It is not the moment. There are still two weeks to go (till the deadline). It’s difficult to plan because anything can happen.” Maresca has also revealed that defender Aaron Anselmino, who was not involved against Crystal Palace, is being lined up for a loan. Maresca said: “He is a good player but he needs to play games, he needs to go (on Loan) and he is another player that is waiting for a solution.” Meanwhile, defender Tosin Adarabioyo is available to return from injury but Romeo Lavia (muscular) and Benoit Badiashile (leg) are still sidelined.

Chelsea unveil aggressively basic 2025-26 third kit Don’t hurt yourself, Nike https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/kits/161245/Chelsea-unveil-aggressively-basic-2025-26-third-kit I’m on record for favoring simplicity when it comes to my Chelsea shirts. “It’s Blue, what else matters?” as the memorable ad campaign (the one with the blue paint) said over a decade ago now. But there’s keeping it simple in a classy way — as Nike themselves showed with that tremendous FA Cup 50th Anniversary shirt — and then there’s keeping it simple in a “who gives a [FUN]” way. If that adidas ad campaign in 2014 posited that Chelsea fans would buy a home shirt sight unseen just knowing that it was blue, Nike’s current third shirt figures that Chelsea fans would buy any old crap as long as it’s billed “a Chelsea shirt”. Behold: some black polyester, straight out of the seconds pile at the factory floor, rejected as training shirts, even. And where’s the World Champions badge going to go? A generous view of this design might say that it borrows from Nike’s own Brazil kits in the early 2000s — and they teased it with those Nike Total 90 balls from the same time, with the marketing also doling out nostalgia about the 2004-05 Chelsea season and Nike’s Total 90 era in general — but to me this is little more than throwaway garbage. Buy it here!

Laughable. Hard to take anyone seriously who claims that. It really is. Sorry, but I have to call it out.

BlueCo have now taken 15 players or staff from Brighton since 2022.

Julio Enciso buy is a meh for me. Maybe we get lucky but I never rated him that much.
