Madueke's fee is taken into account, as is KDH. Unfortunately due to the sale price of KDH, it won't actually contribute towards the amount of money Chelsea need to make.

The perils of a monetised social media. They have no new news, but they still need clicks/views, so they have no alternative than to repeat the same thing over and over again.

Unfortunately it's been reported that he no longer wants to play for us.

If the Simon's deal moves 50% closer every day, will it ever get done?

Or is it 20% of a profit?

Chelsea probably decided to purchase him, before his market value started to increase. Any purchases between two clubs that share ownership have to reflect the fair market value. If they left him at Strasburg for another year, and he continued his improvement, then he may well have cost Chelsea a lot more.

Could someone use AI to replace Trump in the trophy lift with JT, in full 2012 kit? I'd do it but I've used all my image creations for a couple of weeks on ChatGPT free service.

Maybe he's sold with a buy back clause, so he doesn't take up any of the loan spaces?

Petrovich asked not to be picked for the CWC. Apparently he wants the club to guarantee that he's the number 1 keeper this season, and I don't see anything wrong with the club telling him he has to earn his place.
I'm not saying this to be argumentative, but why do people seem personally insulted by Santos not being picked?
Maybe Maresca, who's obviously seen how Santos has trained, doesn't think he's quite up to speed tactically? He's only been with the squad a short time, and it makes sense that Maresca may prefer someone who's played that position before? 

I don't follow them, I support them.  
You have to take the rough with the smooth. Considering the turmoil that hit the club after Abramovich was forced to sell the club, If you're not willing to suck up the losses then maybe Chelsea isn't the team for you.

I guess you wasn't one of the fans singing "We've got our Chelsea back"
No other club has invested into a clubs future more than our owners, and it's still not enough for some. The fact that we're back in the Champions League so soon after the club has had to change almost everyone and everything, from the bottom to the top, is a massive achievement.

The reason you're so critical of him is due to him playing in blue. I've never know a set of fans who are unable or unwilling to support their own players.
If Chelsea were linked to the Premier League midfielder who's created more chances from open play calendar year than any other, you'd be all over it. When you find that that midfielder already pays for Chelsea, then you'll find excuses to rubbish him.

Yea, reading between the lines it seems that they believe in Mike Penders, and we just have to get through this season with our current keepers.

David Fofana was injured just before xmas, and is expected to be out for the rest of the season; it's why he was recalled.

He's out for the rest of the season. It's why he was recalled.

There's a post on Reddit claiming that Dario Essugo has already played for two clubs this season, and as such would not be able to play for Chelsea until next season.

I can't believe that people are questioning Maresca as Chelsea's manager, the difference between the two teams is night and day. Under Maresca we have patterns of play where we are much more effective at pressing, and beating the press. The players seem to know what they are doing instead of trying to make things up as they go along.
Personally I put the recent blip down to inexperience of the players, and being a little light in defence and midfield.  We had more than enough opportunities to win each of the recent games where we dropped points, with an improved squad and greater experience next year I'm confident that we'll manage periods of adversity much better,
I don't even think that we need that many new signings, a new centre back and goalkeeper, and bringing Santos back when he's completed his loan should address weaknesses in the squad.
