Alexander Isak given drastic new plan to force Newcastle into Liverpool transfer Alexander Isak is pushing for a move to Liverpool this summer and has accused Newcastle of breaking promises https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/alexander-isak-newcastle-liverpool-transfer-35781007 Alexander Isak has been told to "ruin" Newcastle training sessions to try and force through a move to Liverpool. Isak is desperate to leave Newcastle this summer, with the Magpies rejecting a £110million bid from Liverpool. The situation recently escalated after Isak released a statement claiming the club had broken promises, while Newcastle hit back by insisting that "no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave". Newcastle also stated that "the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired" and that they "do not foresee those conditions being met". Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has now weighed in on the situation, suggesting Isak should try and "ruin" training. Deeney used that tactic to force his move from Walsall to Watford back and recalled in a column for the Sun : "How they should have played it is how I played it with my agent when I was pushing to move from Walsall to Watford back in the summer of 2010. "In private, my agent said to me, 'you're going to have to kick up a fuss here. You're going back to training and you'll do all of the running but as soon as a ball is involved, you're going to have to ruin sessions, you're going to have to kick balls away. But importantly, you can't let anyone on the outside know what's going on'. "It was really hard, you would go home feeling guilty, being a d*** for no reason, burning bridges for people you quite like. But you've just go to remember who you're doing it for: yourself. That's how Isak will be feeling. "This is a career-changing, career-defining move. You're going from Newcastle to one of the biggest clubs in world football in Liverpool, where you are probably going to win major titles." It remains to be seen whether Isak will get his move or not, but Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has suggested that the saga is set to "come to an end pretty quickly". Speaking ahead of Newcastle's clash with Liverpool on Monday, Howe said: "He won't be part of the squad this weekend.

absolutely

Gian Piero Gasperini is great at developing young talent

Adam Wharton is now Manchester United’s top transfer target in midfield after missing out on a move for Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, but they’ll face strong competition from Real Madrid for the Crystal Palace midfielder’s signature, while his asking price is also at least €80m. (AS)

Axel Disasi is in talks with Wolves, with Chelsea ready to sell for £30m. Other clubs such as Bournemouth, Newcastle and Napoli could also still get involved. (Mark Brus, CaughtOffside) Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer: “In the last four or five days he was not 100 percent and tonight during the warm up he felt something in his groin, so we preferred not to take the risk.” (Press conference) Xavi Simons started for RB Leipzig last night as he always wanted to respect the club until the end. But his plan remains clear - he wants to join Chelsea before the end of the window. Spurs have also approached him, but he’s given his priority to Chelsea. (Fabrizio Romano) Borussia Dortmund are confident of signing both Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka and defender Aaron Anselmino, with direct talks set to take place. (Fabrizio Romano)

Raheem Sterling is a target for Besiktas as they plan to hold talks with Chelsea in London in the next few days, though other clubs are also in the race and his asking price would need to come down.

one to keep an eye on Jean-Mattéo Bahoya turned 20yo in May 3 goals already in 129 minutes thsi season clocked 37.16km/h to set a new Bundesliga all-time speed record U21s Big 5 league games last season

yes she grew up in Belsize Park but her father and brothers were/are huge QPR fans she long ago (due to me, lol) became a Chels fan as well, but she still has hopes that QPR someday gets back into the EPL (good luck with that atm!)

happy to see Dortmund blow a 1 3 lead with 4 minutes to go versus St Pauli

The reason Chelsea are unlikely to sign a new CB or GK https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/the-reason-Chelsea-are-unlikely-to As I’ve been reporting for some time now, Chelsea have always been looking at the goalkeeper market and the centre back market this summer, it’s just never been the main priority. And this is because Enzo Maresca asked the club to prioritise improving the attack first. For goalkeeper, as I’ve explained a few times now, it’s very complex and there are many reasons as to why so far they haven’t signed a new keeper or gone back in for Mike Maignan. I’m not fully ruling it out, but it would need one of Robert Sanchez or Filip Jorgensen to be sold, and that’s now hugely unlikely unless a late surprise. For centre back, I’m a tiny bit more hopeful on because Enzo Maresca has asked for one, but I still see it as unlikely this late in the window now. Chelsea would need to sell Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, and maybe even Trevoh Chalobah to be able to bring in a new centre back now. I say Chalobah and not Benoit Badiashile because the latter is injured until September. There is nothing to suggest right now that Chelsea will sell Chalobah, but he’s always been one on the list that they would certainly listen to offers for. The reasons Chelsea are not buying a new goalkeeper and a new centre back is varied, but one of them is FIFA. Chelsea need to make sure their transfer balance stays ‘positive’ otherwise the fine they’ve got is going to increase even more but not only that. Kieran Gill of The Daily Mail reports: ‘Chelsea’s complex agreement with UEFA included a record fine worth £26.8m rising to £78.5m, but the key sporting sanction warned how the club ‘may not register any new player on List A to UEFA club competitions unless the List A Transfer Balance is positive’. ‘Chelsea have less than two weeks to prove to UEFA that they have balanced their books enough to be permitted to add their abundance of summer signings to Enzo Maresca’s Champions League squad for this season. ‘UEFA have now confirmed that their auditors will only be accounting for the money made on those who were named in the squad submitted by Chelsea for last season’s Conference League knockout stages. ‘Crucially, that means the sales of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Everton, Noni Madueke to Arsenal and Mathis Amougou to Strasbourg will work towards satisfying UEFA, but the exits of Felix et al will not.’ And that is why we are seemingly stuck without addressing the goalkeeper and centre back positions. But it begs the question, why are we prioritising Alejandro Garnacho so highly when there are more pressing concerns? But as reported, Chelsea ARE in the centre back market looking at the options so anything can still happen. On centre backs at Chelsea, Kieran Gill continued: “While Chelsea are constantly monitoring the market in case opportunities crop up, it would likely require someone leaving the Blues in order for them to bring anyone in.” So there you have it folks. There’s still some very slight hope, but the likelihood is now that Chelsea aren’t going to sign a new goalkeeper or a new centre back. But don’t believe reports that claim they are ‘happy’ with what they’ve got. Enzo Maresca certainly isn’t. It is true that Robert Sanchez has impressed them a lot more lately. But they literally tried to sign Mike Maignan this summer, as well as Dean Huijsen. So they absolutely wanted to improve BOTH positions this summer. FIFA and our own odd priorities are now making that unlikely.
