I wonder what kind of number we’d even be talking about if we tried to push hard for Rogers.

Romano reporting that several clubs have started to move for Jackson, Milan deal off. PL clubs making initial approaches

[ahmedou 189]

Let's never deal again with AC Milan...

We gave them many key players... Giroud... Pulisic... Tomori... RLC... Etc. ..

And this is how they treat us... With the Maignan's negociations. 

Those cheap bastards... 

Ungrateful club...

[Special Juan 28,133]

The price was set for Maignan, we just didn't want to meet it, that's not Milan's fault.

I said the other day we cannot be blind sided to think Sanchez after his PSG performance is the next coming of Gordon Banks, we must go out and get a top class keeper.

But I don't think we will

Just 7% of Chelsea fans would NOT sell Nicolas Jackson this summer

It's quite clear here

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/just-7-of-Chelsea-fans-would-not

The big debate of this week has been whether Chelsea should sell Nicolas Jackson or not.

So, what do we do when there are big debates going on? We ask the incredible community on here to give their opinions via a poll.

On this poll, I wish I added another option to say that you’d sell Jackson if a replacement comes in regardless of whether he goes to a Premier League rival or not, but never mind. Either way, I think we got the feel of the fan base in this community via these results.

I asked, are you selling Nicolas Jackson this summer if it's a good fee?

• 39% said yes, regardless of anything else

• 35% said yes, but not to a Premier League rival and only if he’s replaced

• 20% said yes, but not to a Premier League rival

• 7% said no, regardless of anything else

Incredible results really that are very clear, most of us would sell Jackson this summer.

My view?

I’d sell Jackson and I’d not worry about where he goes. I’ve never understood the Premier League rival thing for players like this. If said player wants to go to a rival, then that’s his mindset clear to me, and let them go. We only need to be worrying about ourselves and not our rivals. If we are prepared to sell said player, are we really strengthening an opponent? Is Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga really anything to be majorly concerned about at Arsenal? Maybe it makes them better in a deeper squad sense, but does it improve them? I would sell Jackson to whoever pays the fee for him; it’s about getting the most money for him in my view.

I don’t dislike Jackson as a player, far from it - I can appreciate what he offers and what he brings, but it’s just not enough and I just don’t see him as a Chelsea player for the future so if any offer comes in, why not sell now?

I’d probably like to see a striker come in and replace him but again, I’d not see that as the be all and end all. We could easily keep Marc Guiu as the third choice centre forward if that is what we want - he looks like the real deal and it would be good for him to get some domestic cup games. My gut does say that we would need another new striker though but it’s not essential. I might be in the minority thinking that Joao Pedro is a very good 9, and you all know I rate Liam Delap.

But once again, I agree with the mass majority in this poll.

I thought it would be 2% and that was his family.  He is just rubbish!

🔵News from Matt Law - 

- Maresca’s expectation at the start of the season internally  is to finish T4 and improve. 

- Colwill, Palmer, James and Caicedo considered the untouchables.

- Chelsea aren’t forcing a Gk incoming, the fact they had a go at Maignan makes Matt think they’ll still look at opportunities.

- Massive Fear amongst clubs about committing to Rodrygo. It could end up like Sterling at Chelsea if it goes wrong.

- If Chelsea sign a winger, It will likely be Fofana or Garnacho as they were placed on a 3 man winger list with Gittens.

- If Chelsea sign a winger, It will likely be Fofana or Garnacho as they were placed on a 3 man winger list with Gittens.

- if Jackson goes Villa, keep an eye on Rogers. 

- Nkunku for Garnacho deal possible.

Rodrygo release clause

Arsenal have reportedly hit a snag on their interest in Real Madrid star Rodrygo.

According to Cadena, Real's £78million (€90m) asking price for the versatile forward is "too high" for the Gunners.

The potential signings of Chelsea's Noni Madueke and Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres are also said to have "complicated things considerably".

The same source claims the Brazil international and Los Blancos are "at a standstill".

I know they didn’t spend anything really last summer but seriously, how are they going to be able to spend like £400m in a single window?

It was obvious Ethan wasn't going to leave Arsenal, as his best mate just signed a new deal as well (MLS). 

There were posters on here who actually thought he'd walk 😆
