milk his mushroom?

Manure is in desperate need. Onana makes Sanchez look like prime

only GKers I would accept (and who are even remotely available) in order of valuation atm Diogo Costa Gianluigi Donnarumma Gregor Kobel (not convinced on his on the ball play and distribution passing) Lucas Chevalier (soon going to PSG, arrrrrfffff) Mike Maignan (turned 30yo 4 weeks ago, perfect age to be a 'bridge to Penders' GKer) Guillaume Restes (very close to the same age as Penders though, he is only 4 and a half months older) Zion Suzuki (23yo in 3 weeks) and 3 older 'bridge' (to Penders) keepers Ederson 32yo in 2 weeks (salary will be a huge issue though) Jan Oblak 32yo Emiliano Martinez (Sir Jim Ratcliffe Blocks Ruben Amorim’s Emiliano Martinez Transfer Request) 32yo, 33yo in around a month

that is the perfect place to dump him EXCEPT for the Saudis

split the difference £72.5m and bye bye Nico

Real Madrid, PSG, Atletico Madrid (to a point) and eventually, when they unfuck themselves, Barca again as well

Chelsea closing in on Jorrel Hato deal https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6512846/2025/07/28/jorrel-hato-Chelsea-transfer/ By David Ornstein July 28, 2025 Chelsea are closing in on a deal to sign Jorrel Hato from Ajax. An agreement between the clubs has yet to be reached but is nearing, with a compromise expected in the coming days on a price worth more than €40million (£34.8m; $46.7m). Personal terms are already in place for the 19-year-old Netherlands international defender. Chelsea opened discussions with Ajax over a move for Hato earlier this month. Arsenal had previously identified Hato as a defensive target in January 2024, before he signed a new five-year contract with Ajax last summer. What You Should Read Next Meet Jorrel Hato, the Ajax teenager tracked by Arsenal: ‘I want to achieve big things’ From last September: The Netherlands defender is trying to return his club to the top of the Eredivisie, attracting big-club attention along the way Hato, who has made 111 first-team appearances for Ajax and has captained the side, featured primarily as a left-back in 2024-25 but also played as a centre-back. Capped six times at senior international level by the Netherlands, he joined Ajax’s academy in 2018 from Sparta Rotterdam and has been a fixture in the first team since making his debut in January 2023. Chelsea have already signed Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens this summer, alongside the arrivals of players on pre-existing agreements including Estevao, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr and Kendry Paez. Kepa Arrizabalaga, Noni Madueke and Djordje Petrovic are among the players to have left Stamford Bridge permanently this month. Hato a top defensive prospect Analysis by Andy Jones and Mark Carey Hato is one of the hottest defensive prospects in Europe, having played regularly for Ajax for the last two seasons. Graduating from the Ajax academy, he is technically gifted and confident in possession. He is used to being in a ball-dominant side and he is not afraid to be adventurous with the ball at his feet both through dribbling or using his passing range. For context, only PSV Eindhoven’s Richy Ledezma posted a better pass completion rate than Hato’s 89 per cent among Eredivisie full-backs last season. At such a young age, he is still growing into his body and that will only benefit him defensively, an area he is good in but has room to improve — he is a solid one-on-one defender, reads the game well but does not dominate aerially.

indeed I did not I blundered 😕

I am not a bro, and yes, I missed that, oopsie

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol Cucuwell ffs 😊

IF we are stupid enough to see CuCu then we HAVE to quickly close out Hato plus buy another LB (as we are selling the no-go anyway Chilwell and thus would have NO LBs on our team if CuCu goes and Chilwell is sold) so Hato (a MUST buy) and then one of the following Andrea Cambiaso (will be crazy expensive, and Juve do not want to sell him, they told Citeh to fuck off) Antonee Robinson (love him, BUT he turns 28yo in 11 days) Tyrick Mitchell Miguel Gutiérrez we will deffo be weaker with Hato and say Mitchell that we would be with CuCu and Hato

£60m for the best defensive LB on the planet??????? fuck that X account cunt why the FUCK would we sell CuCu at a LOSS??? these people are rotters and fools and trolls on edit I fucked up and missed that is was Chilly in disguise sorry

if you sign them both to 7 year contracts at a combined wage of say around £500K PW that is £182m gross in wages over 7 years PLUS around £225m or so in transfer fees etc for both so a total outlay of £407m if their combined wages are £600K PW then the total wage bill over 7 years is £218.4m so a fee + wage total of £443.4m madness

as all know I wanted Chevalier badly but yet ANOTHER 'buy him!' wants lost to the French twats (it is amazing really how many of my 'buy hims' they have hoovered up just the ones still there: Gianluigi Donnarumma (from AC Milan days, when he came on a free) Marquinhos (wanted to buy him for ages, after he was already there) Nuno Mendes Achraf Hakimi Joao Neves Vitinha Warren Zaïre-Emery (he is a PSG academy player, but I so so wanted to buy him from them) Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Bradley Barcola Ousmane Dembélé Désiré Doué

UEFA will be all over us anyway because.......... we are Chels plus they HATE KSA

yes prime Mane ALL DAY over prime Diaz peak Mane was special for years

https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40926392/Chelsea-make-joao-felix-11th-signing-transfer-window Aug 21, 2024 Chelsea have signed João Félix on a permanent transfer from Atlético Madrid, the London club announced on Wednesday. The forward has put pen to paper on a seven-year contract. Sources have told ESPN that the clubs agreed a deal worth in the region of €50 million ($55.4m), including add-ons. Atlético will retain a 20% share of any future fee that the player generates in a transfer away from Chelsea.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee England Women just beat Spain on pens Back To Back Euro Champions

no, he is on £202K PW PSG want to keep him at the same total pay packet BUT lower the base pay and make the rest performanced-based

https://sports.yahoo.com/article/donnarumma-demands-obstacle-serie-return-131700664.html PSG prepare lower wage for Donnarumma as top clubs prepared to offer more The reports suggest that PSG are not prepared to offer Donnarumma the same €12 million per season (£202K PW gross) that he currently earns as a part of his contract. Instead, it is being suggested that the Parisian side will offer €8-9 million base salary with the other €3-4 million tied to individual and club performance objectives. In much the same way that the Ligue 1 side are not willing to give the Italian the base €12 million per season, most Serie A clubs will also struggle to meet this figure. Which is why, as per the reports, big clubs in the rest of Europe are currently leading the race.

fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
