Reddish-Blue

why is westham even selling paqueta? are they really trying to get relegeted as fast as possible or what

I don’t even know what injury Lavia has this time.  But Maresca said not ready after the international break 

Shout out to the set piece coach finally getting us scoring from corners. Thats all i have to say.

3d chess. Loans next 5 years=60m 
In 2030 still with 3 years left on contract sell for additional 60-70m 🤝 
Clubs think 60m now is too much for Jackson? We get 120m instead 😉

He was linked to Arsenal before they confirmed the Eze deal, then recently he was linked to Spurs. 

Is Rogers even on the table or only we keep his name up? I haven't read any rumour about him since July.

Gittens was a bizarre signing, I have a feeling he will be loaned by next summer, I just do not see a player in him at Dortmund and don't here

It looks a done deal that Simons to Spurs. Feels we backed out of a deal, which is quite strange. Hope we don't regret this one.  
If he somehow ends up with us, it will be worth it for the banter alone. LOL

EXCL: Kiano Dyer is close to agreeing a new long-term deal at Chelsea and are waiting for the club to finalise the contract terms. 
The player is available for a loan move and intends to be around a first-team environment this season 🤝
 

Imagine if we just end up with Garnacho and nothing else.. this fanbase will fall into a frenzy 😂 

Bet Winstanley went to sleep one night and got this brilliant idea while dreaming.

Would be a little sad to see him as a spuds player after reading so many news that he wanted us 
if we get fermin lopez, its not so bad

EXCL: Christopher Nkunku to AC Milan - HERE WE GO! ✅️. The fee will be in the region of £30m with add-ons.
(@FabrizioRomano)

BREAKING: Chelsea and AC Milan are expected to finalise a deal for the transfer of Christopher Nkunku this Thursday! They are close to finding common ground for a transfer between £34 and £38 million, including bonuses.
(@Tanziloic & @lequipe)

Nkunku details: Chelsea starting request to AC Milan was around £34.5m + add ons. Milan want to offer something around £25.8m + add ons. Very concrete negotiation ongoing.
(@FabrizioRomano)

it still may not be enough according to UEFA

Looks like Nkunku or Jackson would have to be permanent sale to balance books for champions league registration

and he scored 2 late, really top class goals in the last 7, 8 minutes to knock out West ham in the League Cup 3 2
 

With Santos coming back this season, I don't see any space for Mainoo.....although he is a big talent and hope he gets a chance to develop elsewhere for England's national team 😄

When Chelsea enquired about Mainoo’s availability during the January window, CFC officials were quoted £70m. There is a belief United would now accept around £45m, potentially even less.

Oh look, Thor trying to be edgy again by backing every single transfer BlueCo makes.
Gittens will be given time to prove himself like every player does. Not impressed with his start or what I'm hearing from BVB fans who didn’t rate him at all and couldn’t care less when he left. They even mocked us for paying that amount. 
 
He’s going to need a fair few goals and assists to his name come the end of the season to justify that price tag.

Pre-season game + Palace

Don't think it's a stretch to say Gittens coming in has not improved the starting XI. Could have saved the 50+ millions and signed a winger who could take on a starting role. 

I disagree. He hasn't looked like a 50m starting role signing so far and lot of people rightly pointing out that saving the 50m spent on him would ease the problems in signing Simons 

Tottenham plot transfer hijack; can pip Chelsea to 22-year-old attacker Xavi Simons
https://tothelaneandback.com/2025/08/26/tottenham-plot-transfer-hijack-can-pip-Chelsea-to-22-year-old-attacker/
Tottenham Hotspur have been on the hunt for a new attacking midfielder ever since James Maddison suffered an injury. The former Foxes playmaker tore his ACL in a pre-season game against Newcastle United and is out for the foreseeable future.
To make matters worse, second-choice number 10, Dejan Kulusevski is also out now with an injury. The Swede has been missing since the start of pre-season and there is no clarity on when he is expected to be back this season.
Thomas Frank is currently being forced to play Pape Matar Sarr as the number 10 in the opening games of the Premier League season. The Senegalese international is playing as a box-crasher but is not as creative as the injured options.
Since the transfer market is still open, signing a new player is a realistic possibility. Now, as per Caught Offside, Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a transfer hijack and could pip Chelsea to the signature of RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons.
The 22-year-old Dutch playmaker has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for almost the entire summer. However, with Chelsea still not getting their sales over the line, a move for him is currently in the hold.
Johan Lange & co. are now looking to swoop in and make the most of this opportunity. Although Chelsea still remain frontrunners for Simons’ signature and have a verbal agreement in place with the player, there isn’t long left to go in the transfer window.
This has created a small window of opportunity that Tottenham should be taking. The ex-PSG attacker is an excellent player in his own right and has been on RB Leipzig’s most influential players in the past couple of seasons.
He is very versatile and can play in an array of positions in the attack. Frank can initially use him as a #10 to fill the void but can also use him on the left-wing or through the middle once injured players return.
Signing Simons would be a massive statement of intent from Tottenham. However, with Chelsea having a verbal agreement in place, it might not be easy to convince the Dutchman and let’s wait and see how it plays out.
