Rumours of Palmer to United wont go away. I have a feeling we may cash in on him sooner than later.

remember Malang Sarr?

it took AGES to get him gone (and he was on an insane £125K PW!)

and of course, he now has dramaically improved with Lens

Why so inpatient? Let's get CB in the summer doesn’t make much difference. I'm relaxed about CL qualification.

🚫🔴Douglas Luiz to Aston Villa negotiations are progressing favorably.

In the last few hours, the parties have had new positive contacts. Luiz favours a return to Villa where he felt comfortable.

Lavia cannot be trusted, and we need to act ASAP for a back up

You mean replacement. Needs to go, not played enough minutes here since signing & not looking like he ever will.

maybe he will go to strasbourg and we recall sarr?

Would make sense but then again, if Sarr is playing every week in France, why bother recalling him?

BREAKING

Chelsea will be very busy in the coming days, they want to make movement. Chelsea are assesing the CB options even after the recall of Anselmino. And there are different names on the list for midfield other than Douglas Luiz

BlueCo putting this out? 😂

A lot of noise re Kante on a short term loan, if he is still good enough to get picked for France he is still good enough to play in the PL no? People talking about intensity in Saudi etc, they are playing in like at least 30-35 degrees heat… is that not physically demanding? On top of playing the game itself?

I think in the short term, we could do a lot worse. Not expecting him to be as good as he was or even start every game but someone who can come in help us see games out and help rest Caicedo a bit more, why not? He doesn’t look like he has physically declined that much despite the so called experts telling everyone he was finished before he left here (& his wages were too big for not playing every week… eh hello Reece James & Raheem Sterling for different reasons). Get it done.

All the briefs to the press were that we wanted a “top” CB this month who goes straight into the first XI.

but remember Murillo?

The club said they did not want to buy that high (price and level) of a CB who would be a nailed-on starter

so BlueCo is (quelle surprise) all over the bullshit board

I’m fine with us not spending silly money on Jacquet this month for sure. But if a CB HAS to come in (which we clearly feel is the case) I’d have preferred we went and got an experienced head who instantly slots into that LCB role that Badi played today.

Jacquet is more of a RCB or middle CB in a back 5

the player you are describing is literally Senesi

od head, but not too old, and a lefty who is great on the ball

also Alessandro Buongiorno, but he will be very expensive and a HARD pull (especially with poison dwarf's Napoli plus he is Italian in a major big Italian club)

 

and as always

Bastoni lurks out there, the best CB on the planet atm for me, and also a lefty

[Pizy 19,127]

The Palmer to United thing is such a nothingburger. Even these jokers in charge wouldn’t dare sell our best player to a direct PL rival. Sending unwanted or unneeded fringe players to other PL teams is one thing. Selling the best and most popular player and the face of the club to a place where he’d haunt us for years is the kind of thing that would rightly cause a fan revolt.

Also, in an era where players are now regularly going for £100m+ I don’t think we should even entertain a Palmer sale to anyone for less than £150m. And that would only be if Real Madrid came in for him. 

If United try to come in and unsettle him this summer we shouldn’t even pick up the phone to discuss it with them.

Besiktas pay £11m for Tammy Abraham - to sell him to Villa

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c301ry162d4o

 

Besiktas have paid £11.2m to Roma for Tammy Abraham - as the Turkish club prepare to sell him to Aston Villa.

The striker had a medical on Saturday having travelled to the UK on Friday after Villa agreed an £18m deal with the Super Lig side.

Besiktas had an obligation to buy in the loan deal which took Abraham from Roma last summer and did not want to sell him, but are reluctantly allowing Abraham to return to England.

Abraham, who has 11 England caps, scored 12 goals in 24 games for Besiktas.

"The conditions in the transfer contract of Kevin Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham have been fulfilled and the provision for the permanent transfer of the player has come into effect," said Besiktas.

"In this context, a transfer fee of 13m euros will be paid to AS Roma."

The 28-year-old joined Roma from Chelsea for £34m in 2021 and scored 39 goals in 120 games for the Serie A club, winning the Europa Conference League in 2022.

He also spent 2024-25 on loan at AC Milan, scoring 10 times in 44 appearances.

Seems like Douglas Luiz is more likely to go back to Villa now. So we should be hearing quickly who the other options are.

At this point it’s probably going to be a Buonanotte V2 type who barely sees the pitch since no quality midfielder is going to move with mere days left in the window.

It was practically impossible to sign a player of that age. That whole thing was just to fool the fans. It’s all nonsense.

Luiz is not going to choose us over Villa, he knows we have Caicedo, Enzo and Santos, so he will be a bench option for the majority

👀Chelsea have the option to trigger a break clause in Mamadou Sarr’s loan at Strasbourg.

🔴Kendry Paez is being lined up for a move away from Strasbourg after being consistently left out of the first XI in recent months.

🟠Tyrique George is expected to be sold and is going to make a decision on where he goes this week.

Yep. If his options were riding Forest’s bench or riding ours he was probably ready to jump at the chance. 

But if his options are now ride our bench or go back to the club he already knows well, performed very well at, and will actually start plenty of games due to their injuries it’s a no brainer.

I don’t think a single Chelsea supporter is going to be bothered that we didn’t get him.
