Man Utd eye Edwin van der Sar Old Trafford return as director of football EXCLUSIVE: The Dutchman could be set for a comeback at the Theatre of Dreams as part of the club's hierarchy https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-eye-edwin-van-19849323

Some Barça stars offered up their own money to sign Neymar this summer https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/barca/some-barca-stars-offered-up-their-own-money-to-sign-neymar-this-summer-7623855 One of the most senior ranking members of the FC Barcelona squad let Josep Maria Bartomeu know that signing Neymar was a must if they were to win the Champions League. It was a belief shared by many others in the dressing room who all had their say as negotiations were ongoing with PSG. Some of the players were even willing to part with their own money to help pay for the costly transfer, such was the desire to bring Neymar 'home'. The board didn't take that offer under consideration, and some of the squad weren't even aware of it, but it was done to demonstrate how well liked Neymar is by certain players in the changing room. It's extremely possible with the €20m Neymar was willing to put in, alongside that of the players, a deal could have been struck with PSG. However, the board only valued a transfer if it made sense on the financial side of things. Some board members called it "absolutely crazy" if they accepted all the demands. So this gesture from certain squad members was dismissed. However, not everyone was on board with the Brazilian's return. There's a danger of a rift developing between those on the side of Neymar and those who are firmly behind Griezmann. Right now, there aren't any issues between the two parties but Lionel Messi, alongside his fellow captains, must ensure this doesn't develop into anything serious. In recent years the changing room has been a welcoming place, helped by a coach who is respected by everyone at the club and no one wants that to change. Vicente del Bosque gave his opinion on Neymar and how, if he was in charge of a major club, he wouldn't have signed Neymar either. "Without any doubt he's a great footballer and his arrival would've been really good for LaLiga, but he did some bad - really bad - things at Barça." There isn't much more to say... snip

LIVE Transfer Talk: Juve ready to move for De Gea as Man United eye Oblak https://www.espn.co.uk/football/blog-transfer-talk/story/3937102/live-transfer-talk-juve-ready-to-move-for-de-gea-as-man-united-eye-oblak TOP STORY: De Gea to Juventus; Oblak to Man United? With his contract extension talks seemingly at a standstill, David De Gea may be lured away from Manchester United by Serie A champions Juventus. According to the Daily Express, Juventus are monitoring De Gea's status at Old Trafford, and could convince the Spain No. 1 leave on a free at the end of the season if United can't get him to commit by January. As everyone fondly recalls, De Gea would have left Manchester for Real Madrid in 2015 -- if not for a malfunctioning fax machine that torpedoed the deal in the waning moments. Should De Gea depart for Turin, then Manchester United have already identified his successor -- Atletico Madrid shot-stopper Jan Oblak. A source had told ESPN FC back in June that Oblak would prefer an exit to United if he were to leave Madrid, so time will tell that interest rekindles in the coming months. snip I would take Oblak over any other keeper in the world, so this SUCKS if Manure grabs him no clue why Juve doesnt just go for him, I suppose it is De Gea's contract winding down

IF we beat Wolves, and then win away at Ajax and Valencia (or draw those, but would certainly want to WIN all 3) I think we have a CHANCE at winning (or certainly not losing) 18 of the next 20 fixtures (Victimpool and Shitty are the only almost locks for losses if I am being honest) The 21st first game (and last one before X-Mass, is on December 21st, away at Spuds) I think there will be some further EPL Cups games too, which should be wins. Away at Everton is the next hardest league game after away at Shitty (please NO SIX-NIL!), home with the Bindippers (probably close to the biggest non CL game of the year for me wishing for an upset, unless we get to the League Cup or FA Cup final, OR we drop down into the EL and get to the final again, as then CL for next year, and a return to the Super Cup is on the line), and away at Wolves. Am I being cray cray?

Palace will be fighting to avoid relegation I think, so zero chance they will sell him for anything short of INSANE cash. TBH, I would much rather have a go for Richarlison in the summer, and let Everton grab Zaha, they both will go for roughly the same money and next summer Richarlison (4 and a half years younger) will be 23 (basically the whole season, he turns 24 on May 10th, 2021), whilst Zaha will be 27yo, and turns 28 on November 10, 2020. I see NO reason to spend £70m, £80m on a player who we only get two full sub 30yo seasons out of. Zaha (and Martial) still only really intrigue me, (for the amount of money they would cost) as CF's. here are the best wingers in the EPL atm no real order, and my baseline is who would I take over Pedro or Willian at this exact minute (some due strictly to their age, IF Pedro was 24,25, NO FUCKING WAY would I trade/sell him unless we are talking Sterling, Mane, Salah, Bernardo, or maybe Sane (probably not Sane, Pedro was a BEAST when he was younger) the ONLY wingers who are remotely available who interest me at all on here are Martial (as a CF especially and he is not really available, we fucked that up BAD when Mo was there and he wanted to swap Martial for Willia plus cash, and Marina got CHEAP as fuck and didnt toss in the £20m or so to get it done, now we may lose Willian on a free and Martial is still worth £70, £80m, fuck that bitch Russian twat) Richarlison and Zaha (BUT only if he is around £45-50m or so, due to his age next year, and Palace will never sell him for that low, even at the 27/28 he will be next season, I just do not think he is worth £80m next summer, would much rather pay that for Chiesa, who I rate at £70-75m and is only 21yo now, and 22yo next summer) Nelson and Sarr and James (United will never sell James now) all intrigue, but need to see what they can do over a full season or two The following will get me a tonne of stick, but who would be an absolute MONSTER under Lamps is Son, he is one of the most underrated players in the world, and when Kane is down, and he is played centrally, he is almost as productive as old punchy-face Harry. He will never be sold by Levy now, as there is a good shot Kane leaves next year, as he wants trophies, and he will never get them at Spuds.

Loftus-Cheek, Rudiger, Hudson-Odoi, Reece James, Kovacic, Pedro, van Ginkel, and Kante - Latest Chelsea injury news and expected return dates https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/players/loftus-cheek-kante-chelsea-injury-16574172 Here's the latest injury news from Cobham. Antonio Rudiger Rudiger is well on the way to making a comeback from a knee injury that ended last season prematurely. The defender has played 180 minutes for the club's development squad in recent weeks, playing the matches against Liverpool and Tottenham. Rudiger wasn't included in the squad for the match against Sheffield United, but should be fit enough to make his comeback after the international break vs Wolves. Callum Hudson-Odoi Another player we could potentially see back on the pitch this month is Hudson-Odoi. He has been out of action since rupturing his Achilles' tendon back in April against Burnley. The Chelsea boss has received a boost, with the 18-year-old participating in training with the rest of the first team, meaning that the youngster could be available after the international break. "Callum is training, looking bright and sharp but now we're in the zone where it's about protecting him, giving him conditioning with fitness, especially in the area of his injury," Lampard said. "He has had quite a long time out. Like with Rudiger’s injury. "The international break comes at quite a good time for us with both of those and for Reece James. "They’re all in a position where, I hope, two or three weeks of strong training puts them back in the frame for the squad and available." Ruben Loftus-Cheek Loftus-Cheek was establishing himself as a key member of Maurizio Sarri's squad at the end of last season. However, in the post-season friendly ahead of the Europa League final, Loftus-Cheek suffered the same fate as Hudson-Odoi and ruptured his Achilles' tendon. The midfielder is still undergoing rehabilitation and it is still going to be some time before Loftus-Cheek is back to full fitness. He is expected to be back later than teammate Hudson-Odoi, with PhysioRoom having the player down to return at the start of November for the away game at Watford. Reece James James will be hoping to push for a place in the first team in the coming months after a superb loan season with Wigan Athletic in the 2018/19 campaign. Looking set to feature heavily for the team in pre-season following the appointment of Lampard and Jody Morris, the 19-year-old damaged ligaments in his ankle during the Toulon Tournament and had to undergo surgery, but is now well on the way to recovery. With Davide Zappacosta having completed a move to Roma on loan for the rest of the season prior to the European deadline, it appears that James will be back to challenge Cesar Azpilicueta for the right-back spot soon. PhysioRoom have pencilled in a return date of Saturday, September 14 for the player, meaning that the international break has come at the perfect time in the full-back's recovery. N'Golo Kante The Frenchman has missed the last two league games due to an ankle injury picked up in training. The influential midfielder has been left out of the France squad in order to help him recover to be able to make his return after the international break Pedro Was pulled out of the side to face Norwich at the last minute, and also missed the encounter against Sheffield United due to a hamstring strain. The Spaniard will be another player who will be aiming to be fit by the end of the international break. Mateo Kovacic The midfielder returned to Chelsea from international duty with Croatia on Monday due to an achilles injury. Kovacic did play 83 minutes of the last Premier League outing against Sheffield United, but has withdrawn from international duty, where he was due to take on Slovakia and Azerbaijan in Euro 2020 qualifiers. The 25-year-old will now return to Cobham to receive treatment. Marco van Ginkel The midfielder is a long term absentee, having suffered an Anterior Cruciate ligament injury. The Dutchman is on the way to recovery, having posted a picture of him doing bike work alongside Reece James and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, although there is no return date provided for the 26-year-old.

If they do not know of him, they should not even be scouts for Scunthorpe United.

he is not a WC stopper that we need TWO of, along with Rudiger, plus Ake is short (3cms shorter than me) and gets pushed around too much my dream 5 CB realistically Chels (I say realistically because we bloody will have at least a half billion quid to play with if we just dump the rest of the deadwood, so speningd £150m, 160m or so on 2 WC B's is WELL within our budget Gimenez or Romagnoli (both are superb ball players) Konate or Skriniar (hammer types, but Skriniar is going to end up at Shitty I think) Rudiger AC Ake DONE Tomori can also be the Ake, if we do not (and we will not, lol) fancy dropping £40m on a 5th CB Zouma needs to BE SOLD the minute the summer window opens he will never be good enough for us anyone that says so is a settler, and obviously doesn't have any ambition whatsoever for the club IMHO THIS is what I mean by a WC hammer CB Ibrahima Konaté 1.93m (13 cms taller than Ake), almost 90kg, damn near as pacey as Werner, his teammate, and is only 20yo, so will get even stronger

Just how far can Mason Mount go? https://www.itsroundanditswhite.co.uk/articles/sky-the-limit-for-chelsea-star-mason-mount When I discovered that Chelsea Football Club were set to change their mantra (albeit forced due to a transfer ban) and believe in youth, the scepticism started to set in. I'm a big believer in trends. Whether you like it or not, spending big coupled with a high turnover in managers has worked wonders for Roman Abramovich at Stamford Bridge. In the early goings, my hypothesis was becoming a reality as Chelsea got hammered 4-0 at Old Trafford. Since then, though, there has been a marked shift in performances and confidence; particularly in the final third. Although only one game has been won, the goals have been consistent. Tammy Abraham is stealing the headlines, though I'd like to talk about his compatriot, Mason Mount... After a sublime 2018/19 campaign at Derby County, the burning question was 'Can Mount step up and do it in the Premier League?' Well, the initial prognosis is an overwhelming yes. The 20-year-old has taken to English football's top-flight like a duck to water, rising to the challenge wonderfully well. Agile, two-footed, an eye for both a pass and a goal, Mount epitomises what Lampard is trying to achieve. That's probably why the attacker had such a successful season under the Chelsea legend at Derby - and it's wonderful to see that marriage blossoming in the big leagues. If for some reason, you haven't seen Chelsea play this term, all you need to know is that Mount has already earned an England call-up, like Tyrone Mings, after just four Premier League outings this season. In a jam-packed Three Lions attacking line, Mount has forced his way in after just 360 minutes. That's impressive. snip

Liverpool fans manufacture Sadio Mane stat, Chelsea Twitter hits back https://www.chelsea-news.co/2019/09/liverpool-fans-manufacture-sadio-mane-stat-chelsea-twitter-hits-back/ Liverpool fans manufacturing information to make their players appear better than they actually are – is this news or merely a daily occurrence? The Reds faithful are renown for forcing their agendas upon rival fans, whatever the cost or distortion of the truth. They have attempted to do so once again here. Anfield Watch posted this below Sadio Mane stat on Twitter, which in fairness, is pretty damn impressive. If it were actually true, that is… Chelsea Twitter legend ChelseaChadder struck back, rubbishing the supposed stat and clarifying that NINE representatives of our glorious club have achieved it in the past.
