Chelsea https://thedailybriefing.io/i/146205988/Chelsea Riccardo Calafiori to Chelsea would cost €45-50m - more info in today’s edition of Fabrizio Romano’s exclusive column. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: “It is amazing to be sitting here as a Chelsea player. This is a club people grow up watching and hoping to one day play for, so it is a privilege to be here. I’m really excited to get going and can’t wait to show everybody what I can do.” Carney Chukwuemeka’s contract includes a £40m release clause. Chelsea insist on their position not to allow the talented midfielder to leave on loan. Every approach over a potential loan in recent months has been rejected so far. Chelsea have no plan to include Nicolas Jackson into any negotiation as he’s considered an important part of their project. Jackson is also very happy at Chelsea and only focused on his current club. Armando Broja: “It’s true, I have offers from Serie A, Bundesliga and Premier League”. “Staying at Chelsea? It is an option; I still have a contract here.” The expectation remains for Broja to leave Chelsea on a permanent transfer this summer.

Gordon would be a great signing if the price is fair

they can be a CB pairing as can either one with Tosin or use all 3 in a back 5

Insane if we roll with that dud. HE WAS BENCHED AT BRIGHTON DUE TO HIS SHIT ON-THE-BALL PLAY AND PASSING madness! 🤬

£200,000 per week 😔

in re net profit/loss on transfer fees we are the worst in the world by multiple country miles these figures are starting in summer 2020 and going forward:

Chelsea hold talks with Newcastle owners over Anthony Gordon https://www.footballfancast.com/Chelsea-transfer-news-newcastle-united-alexander-isak-anthony-gordon/ They've been heavily linked with Isak recently as well, but his rumoured price tag of around £150 million may be too much for Boehly and co as they seek to abide by PSR regulations. That isn't to say they couldn't raid Newcastle for another star, though, as England winger Anthony Gordon turns heads at Cobham. The 23-year-old was handed a place in the Three Lions squad for Euro 2024 by Gareth Southgate, coming after an electric campaign on Tyneside where he racked up 12 goals and 11 assists in all competitions. Journalist Simon Phillips, writing on his Substack, claims Chelsea have recently held talks with Newcastle owners over signing Gordon. Some reports claim they value him at no less than £50 million, but this may be optimistic from Chelsea's point of view. It remains to be seen whether Eddie Howe's side are open to selling at all following the PSR deadline on June 30, but interestingly, pundits like Frank McAvennie have said Gordon, on £60,000-a-week, "could become a star like Isak".

yes, so so negative, it is becoming tedious AF

I could live with signing him for a FAIR PRICE

we would be mad as ass to sell him he has massive potential I still believe in him a lot

best of luck to the lad

well, they will either end up geniuses or fools

a steal

Copa América: USA captain Pulisic 'can't accept' ref's calls https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40479319/usa-captain-pulisic-accept-ref-calls KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- United States captain Christian Pulisic was clear in stating that he did not believe officiating was to blame for his team's group-stage exit at Copa América, but he was baffled by the decisions made in Monday's 1-0 loss to Uruguay at Arrowhead Stadium, a result that sealed the Americans' fate. "Honestly, I mean I saw things that I've never seen before right in front of my eyes today that I just I truly I can't believe," Pulisic told reporters. "It's not why we lost; we're not out of this tournament because of officiating. "But really, I've just seen things that I just really -- I mean I think everyone can just give admit I don't know what I'm looking at. I don't know what they're calling. I don't know what he's -- he gives no explanation. He's doing things that I just can't accept." Referee Kevin Ortega was seen on camera refusing to shake Pulisic's hand following the final whistle after Pulisic appeared to first gesture something to him from a distance. "He wouldn't shake my hand. It's normal -- I mean, I guess." Uruguay defender Mathías Olivera scored the only goal of the game in the 66th minute. Olivera appeared to be in an offside position when the ball was flicked on, but a lengthy VAR review confirmed the goal without sending Ortega to the video monitor. Replays showed an indiscernible amount of overlap between Olivera's body and the foot of USMNT defender Chris Richards, who ostensibly held the Uruguayan onside. "It's pretty crazy, really," USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter said of the call. "I don't understand it. You know, I feel like I know the rule pretty well. I feel like we had the pictures that are showing how the rule could be interpreted and it's an offside goal. It's disappointing, it really is, but you know, that happens in football and we have to live with it, obviously." There were several controversial no calls throughout Monday's match, but the oddest moment outside of the goal came in the 32nd minute, when Ortega pulled out a yellow card to issue to Richards. Uruguay went to play the free kick quickly, and, before fully extending his arm to raise the yellow card, Ortega raised his other arm to indicate a "play on" signal. Nahitan Nández was in behind on goal but scuffed his shot. The game is typically held up when a yellow card is being issued so that the referee can record the booking. Several U.S. players argued with Ortega after the play. Adams said after the match it was the "first time I'd ever seen" an incident like that. The 1-0 loss, combined with Panama's 3-1 win over Bolívia in a simultaneous match, left the USMNT third in the group. It is the first time the U.S. has failed to advance from the group stage of a Copa America, Gold Cup or World Cup played on home soil. The U.S. will co-host the 2026 World Cup.

I am going to go ahead and say this is a pretty decent deal hope he shocks all the complete naysayers
