Noni has been the best player on the pitch

Everything with Fofana is ok. False alarm 😅

Fucking Juve.

Dortmund taking the piss, block them.

Chelsea have rejected a loan offer with an obligation worth north of £15m for Carney Chukwuemeka.

^ Defibrillator for Pizy please!

👀💥Simon Phillips says we are looking at Aymeric Laporte and want to take a step.

Bayern being on the verge of selling Coman has me side eyeing them a little bit. They’ll soon need another attacker and they were one of the other clubs linked with Xavi along with ourselves and Arse. 
 
We may want to hurry up before they turn their gaze on him. They’ll know him extremely well and it’s often very difficult for Bundesliga players from the smaller clubs to turn down Bayern if they come for you.

Exclusive: Chelsea make plans to sign Barcelona star Ronald Araújo as Levi Colwill replacement
https://www.football-espana.net/2025/08/09/exclusive-barcelona-Chelsea-ronald-araujo

Barcelona are about to lose Inigo Martinez to Al-Nassr, but his exit will not enough for the club to solve their registration problems. As a result, there are chances for another big player to leave before the end of the summer, and as it turns out, it could be another central defender that moves on.
Barcelona have been ready to sell one of their senior centre-backs this summer, and prior to the news that Martinez would be going, it was going to be either Ronald Araujo or Andreas Christensen that would be moving on. And while it now seems that both will be staying, that may not be the case.
A source has indicated to Football España that Chelsea are preparing to make a concrete move for Araujo before the end of the summer transfer window. The Blues, who won the Club World Cup last month, were told this week that Levi Colwill had suffered an ACL injury, and it has already been decided that they will seek a replacement.
Chelsea regard Araujo, who was temporarily appointed as Barcelona’s captain this week, as a world class defender, and at 26, his signing would be in line with the transfer policy at Stamford Bridge. They are prepared to pay €50m to get a deal done, and there is a believe that the reigning La Liga champions would accept this – as it would allow them to ease their well-documented financial woes.
As well as Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are also showing serious interest in Araujo. Spurs see him as a key piece in their defensive rebuild, valuing his versatility and leadership qualities. Manchester United, who have a long-standing interest in the 26-year-old, are also monitoring the situation closely, but haven’t made a formal approach yet.
Chelsea are expected to submit an official bid soon. Araujo’s future will likely depend on Barcelona’s stance and how the other interested clubs decide to act in the coming weeks, but given that Martinez is about to leave, it will be tricky for the Catalans to give the green light for a sale unless a replacement can be sorted quickly.

Delap needs time and he will get it. Huge difference between him and Joao Pedro, Pedro has mass amounts of PL experience and is a top class player with Delap having one season in the PL with a shit side, but it's a huge step up for the lad and he needs time to bed in and learn from the likes of Joao, I am damn sure I would rather see Liam learning from Joao than a limited Jackson

Think we probably do need him sold. Although now the Xavi deal is seeming less likely.
Negotiating with them for 3 weeks, no bid, and now he’s rejoining the team where he could risk injury. Players probably don’t do that if a move is close.

If this club signs Garnacho first and then decides not to push through Xavi…
 

Notoriously slow Man United who usually take a month to make every signing have swooped in and signed Šeško in 2 days.
Meanwhile, we’ve been negotiating with Simons for nearly 3 weeks and no bid. Will the move still happen? Probably. But would’ve been very helpful to have him in for at least one of this weekend’s preseason matches.
Ben Jacobs says that Newcastle have Leipzig’s other striker Openda on their list, btw. If the Sesko move doesn’t affect their stance with Xavi, surely they would change their mind if Newcastle throw money at them for Openda.
So again, we need to push to get this done asap.

Not as easy as that, he wont let his wages go without us paying in full, he made that clear last year. Loaning him with a fee and part coverage of his wages is the best case scenario unless Saudi want him.

Best news of the day

Hope he goes to Juventus next year and we get Kenan.

Chelsea are the ONLY club that wants him

Called this scenario yesterday. If United rush in now and hand Leipzig €75m for Sesko will they then say they want to keep Xavi for another season or until January? Or simply raise his asking price now to something well walk away from?
If so we’ll look like absolute fools for negotiating for 2 weeks+ and coming up empty handed over a few million £. 

BREAKING: Marc Guiu to Sunderland on loan is a HERE WE GO (@FabrizioRomano)

These owners are fucking garbage refusing to pay money required for Hato and Simons yet get bend over like fucking losers for Gittens.

Swap with Yildiz.

His way more talented than either of them.
