Vesper

He was never a goosebumps player (the only goosebumps CB out there for me is well known to all of you for years, Bastoni, and maybe the Spuds Croatian wonder teen, Luka Vuskovic, who I wanted SO badly, but fucking Spuds signed him last summer. I think he has a shot, perhaps, at being the best CB on the planet by the early 2030s, certianly top 6, 8 or so, and he likely leaves Spuds very soon, perhaps without ever playing for them, especially if they make me weep in joy and get relegated) BUT Senesi is very solid veteran CB who is EPL proven, and a lefty to boot he is better, IMHO, than most of our other CBs atm plus, he is now a free hit, t-fee wise I know many here do not rate him (and as usual for thsi board, most who slate him offer no real other similar options) but I certianly do, simply for what I expect out of him I also know full well, unfortunately, that BlueCo will likely NOT sign him hell, I can see BlueCo not buying any starting-level CB this summer, especially if Nantes refuses to take less than 50m euros for the teen Tyel Tati People who think Murillo is headed here need to drop that pipe dream, same for van de Ven, Huijsen (IF Real actually sell him, which I highly doubt), Christian, Romero, Schlotterbeck, Ousmane Diomande, Jarrad Branthwaite, Castello Lukeba, Gonçalo Inácio, António Silva, and probably Joel Ordóñez. There is a real chance we do not even sell Tosin. In fact, BlueCo is so fucked up they would sell Trevoh before Tosin, absolutely.

Laporta just won re-election in a landslide, so Flick 100 per cent stays at Barca

reminder he can come ON A FREE this summer

I hope Ornstein is not going to turn into Mr Gaslighter........... David Ornstein details Chelsea’s busy transfer plans for the coming summer window https://Chelsea.news/2026/03/david-ornstein-details-chelseas-busy-transfer-plans-for-the-coming-summer-window/ Transfer reporter for The Athletic, David Ornstein, has been detailing Chelsea’s transfer plans for the coming summer transfer window. Ornstein has been speaking to NBC this weekend and has been explaining that Chelsea are going to be busy at the end of the season once again, this after a very quiet January transfer window. Chelsea fans will find it remarkable that we are still hearing that Chelsea want to sign many more players in basically all positions on the pitch, but that is exactly what the transfer expert is telling us all right now, even after the huge amounts of money they club have already spent under this new ownership. Ornstein on Chelsea plans In words quoted by CFCDaily on X, Ornstein said: “They’ve had big financial losses but that was in recent seasons. The word from Stamford Bridge is they are in better shape now and they do not need to sell any of their key players and they do not intend to. “You will see periphery sales that I’m sure will raise big money again and they WANT to invest in the summer. In attack, in midfield, in defence. I’m not hearing suggestions that they will actually do so in the goalkeeping department as things stand.” In other news… Liam Rosenior has summed up Chelsea’s issues after yet another defeat on the pitch at the weekend by saying they could be contained in two main “aspects.” In a situation that has caused a lot of drama and debate, the manager also got side-tracked talking about the ridiculous pre-match huddle situation.

we have to start facing the fact that we are now ramping up the pace to become a true selling club, and that most definitely will include most, if not all of our biggest players it is what private equity models dictate I think the sale that will finally wake ALL up will be Caicedo within the next 2 or 3 years When you let the devil into your house, you can never be shocked when devilish things start to happen I am most rapidly losing interest in it all

that is exactly what is going to happen within the next 2 years, maybe even this summer Manure for around £115m to £120m or so, maybe less if he continues to regress and/or down tools

HARD PASS! he is rubbish I will lose my mind if we waste millions of quid on on him this is Disasi/Badi all over again PLUS he turns 30yo this fall so way outside of the BlueCo age range

I can seriously see myself walking away from the club until the yank wanks sell unless massive changes and upgrades occur.

Rumour is that some on the board want to keep Penders at Strasbourg another year and just roll with the GKers we have at Chels now. Insanity. Sounds like Roberts is a busy bee. Fuck that twat. He needs to be sacked ASAP. Along with the rest of the rotters.

faces up as yet another typical BlueCo garbage youth peddler signing (one BlueCo club to another) soon 19yo valued at less than £1m has done fuckall in shitbox leagues meaning we will plonk out £17.5m and hail it as the buy of the decade

It is just INSANE how utter SHITE our core-of-core (GK, CB, CF) spinal buys have been, (other than Pedro at CF and maybe maybe maybe Penders at GKer) ever since BlueCo took over IF Penders ends up a bust, and we do not buy Diogo Costa (by far the best remotely avaiable GKer out there under 32yo) and we then also pass on the other top 5 (of the top 6 remotely available GKers under 32yo) GKers out there atm (Gregor Kobel, Bart Verbruggen, Mile Svilar, Robin Roefs, and Guillaume Restes) then we are WELL FUCKED. CB is potentially in even worse shape. IF Colwill is perma wrecked (a real possibility, unfortunately, we will know this by the end of next season), and IF Sarr and Anselmino turn out to be busts, we, at that point, likely have ZERO acceptable starting CBs and most of the others are semi-dross to pure dogshit. I simply do not see us buying 2 (or even one) class CBs, due to both our looming financial problems and also due to us being unable to convince WC CBs to come and join this shitshow. Finally, IF Pedro either collapses or is seriously injured, then CF is almost for sure, at that point, even worse off than GKer or CB, unless Dastan Satpaev is truly some wunderkind. FUCK BLUECO and their shit board.

watch this financial experts video that goes into why and how BlueCo is stearing us into the rocks

you mean top 5 (and thus CL) is likely over there is, unfortunately, a real chance we end up with only 54 to 57 points max IF Villa beat Manure today, then they are already on 54 points and are 90 per cent (given their schedule remaining) likely to end up in the top 5 even IF Manure loses to Villa, they are still VERY likely finishing 3rd, 4th at worst, as they have a crazy easy schedule remaining, IF they beat Villa, they are almost a pure lock for 3rd (Carrick deffo gets my Manager Of The Year in the EPL award) I think they end up with at least 70 points a draw helps Manure more, but Villa will take the point from now on, other than when we play them at SB, I do not care if Manure win out, especially versus Villa and Pool (those 3 games are the only 'hard' games they have left by far our best hope of getting 5th is catching Pool, barring a profound Villa collapse (IF Villa win today v Manure, forget about it) Pool will likely crush Spuds today and thus be 3 points clear of us with 8 games to go BUT their schedule is easier than ours the only 'hard' games they have left are 3 (all in a row, at the end of the season) away to Manure home versus us (we lose that ZERO chance we can catch them) away to Villa (the 2nd to last game of the year, they finish home v Brentford, their 4th hardest game left IMHO, but one they likely win)

absolutely agree this is exactly where I am at

He has to go. It isn't like he is ever going to come good.

Over the next 3 years I can easily see us losing Caicedo, Cucurella, Estevão, Enzo, João Pedro, and the collapsing Palmer. BlueCo will never replace them with equal quality ALREADY PROVEN veteren players. They will be replaced with teens and wild dice roles. I am going to take a break from listing targets and also Chels buy news rumours. It all seems pointless atm. No truly top players will want to come here under BlueCo and their conveyor belt of puppets and assclowns.

I can see us completely collapsing and only winning 3 of our remaining games: 1. Port Vale at SB (and us them getting battered in the next round if we draw any temotely decent side as our opponents) 2. Forest at SB (May 2nd) 3. Spuds at SB (May 17th) I can see us getting crushed in many of the other games. We have a real shot at ending up back in the Conference League, and maybe missing out on even that. Rosenior is completely out of his puppet depth, and no decent manager will agree to come here and work under the assfuck paradigm erected by the BlueCo clown-twats. They may well have destroyed us as a top 20-25 UEFA club for a decade plus if we are not even remotely sorted out come the end of the 2026/27 season. No CL equals no remotely adequate FOS sponsor, which means hundreds of millions in lost revenue over the next multiple years. No new stadium until 2040 or so means over 1 billion quid in lost revenue by then. We also will have to start liquidating some of our most valuable players to comply with the new, far stricter EPL FFP rules coming into effect, on top of the UEFA FFP. At some point BlueCo may just pull the plug and extract as much money as possible and then just sell off the remaining rump of the club at a slashed price. That is exactly what private equity pirates do, especially the yank ones, who are the worst of the worst. We brought in the devil and we may well burn for it moving forward. Not good. Not good at all, I fear.

Flush this turd. I have warned about him for years. Fuck off BlueCo.

We turned it off at HT and went out. Clearly we made the right choice. The club is absolutely fucked up. Disgraceful.

horrific half of footie

Palmer is downing tools I am convinced there I said it
