Both City & Liverpool been heavily linked for probably a year now though.

Would be a great signing for either club. Given our track record, there is no chance we will enter the race given he is; 1) a very good player & 2) over 21 years old.

Shame because he would be a instant starter but we spunked £100m on Gittens & Garnacho.

Cucurella was 24 when we signed him from Brighton...

If we were that keen on Semenyo, we could have got him in the summer.  

Somehow we don't get Kudus  (the player was keen but West Ham weren't keen on KDH as part of the deal) or Semenyo and we end up with the GG brothers. United get part of their Mount fee back.

nice nice

another kid. exactly what we need. I truly believe that we are in the right path and ready to win everything 😄

Don't worry, the club is planning for the LONG TERM

The Premier League won't be ready for Chelsea's all-star Football Manager lineup in 2030 when all the youngsters are 23 years old and ready to take the league by storm!  😆

This club getting a transfer ban wouldn’t be the worst thing. Save us signing utter dross for a period.

They prefer slave trade players despite their good salaries

Youth madness part #4672

Now we are looking to buy a 15yo DMF

Jadiel Pereira da Gama from PEC Zwolle

youngest Eredivisie player ever

 

[Vesper 31,112]

Per Matt Law, NONE of the following sales would, if we sell any of them, help us to balance the UEFA books so we can play in Europe next season:

Sterling

Disasi

Nico Jackson

Aarón Anselmino

Kendry Páez

David Datro Fofana

Deivid Washington

Caleb Wiley

Omari Kellyman

Leo Castledine

Ted Curd

Teddy Sharman-Lowe

Mudryk the Drugryk

 

And none of the CL List B count either:

Josh Acheampong

Tyrique George

Romeo Lavia

 

The only sales that count are players on the CL List A.

So any incoming buys, if we are not transfer banned, will mean we have to sell core players (Tosin needs to go go go, but we are going to get fuckall for him, and we cannot sell Badi if we are transfered banned, as he is literally, with Colwill out, our only left-footed CB). IF Penders comes this summer, the we can sell Filip Jörgensen. Guiu also needs to go.

That's about it IF we are transfered banned, and even if NOT, we will will be damn lucky to get a total of £40-50m or so max for Tosin, Jörgo, and Guiu.

Good luck shopping on that total budget.

It is insane that UEFA limits the sales that count to only the CL List A. We still have to pay all the players listed who are not on it, unless a club loaning them pays them, AND we ourselves DID ALSO pay transfer fees for most of them.

It seems borderline illegal to not count any and all sales towards UEFA book balancing.

What a mess. 
 

This is basically human trafficking at Sports level.

It’s only a matter of time before Palmer, Caicedo, Cucu and others want out. 
 

They have undone all Romans hard work. It disgusts me.

🔵Chelsea are emerging as the frontrunners in the race for AZ Alkmaar’s highly-rated midfielder Kees Smit, who is also on Newcastle’s radar. He's rated at £25m.

I had a dream we had submitted a bid for Elliot Anderson. 😇

Would prefer Wharton, but the price for either is too high unless we sell major core List A players, as we are in real danger of failing the UEFA FFP punishment rules we are under.

(@GraemeBailey)

he wants at least £270K PW in salary/add-ons for 5 years plus a £25m or more signing bonus (as he would come on a free)

that is at least £95.2m in toto

or

to look at it how we do

that is over £19m per season spread out over 5 years

plus he turns 28yo in around 10 months

and yes, he has rebounded (so far) this year, but he had back to back meh seasons before this

and finally he is a right-footed RCB, when we desperately need a lefty as Colwill will be coming off a massive injury and Badi, our only other lefty true CB, is shite (Hato is more of a LB than a CB)

assuming we are not transfer banned, I still do not see us going for him

[Vesper 31,112]

Sporting will not drop down from Ousmane Diomande's 80m euro (£70.3m) release clause this summer

also, he is a CB for Cote d'Ivoire, so he will miss a lot of games (our EPL games) playing for them over the years IF we did buy him

[Vesper 31,112]

Oskar Pietuszewski

another teen we are scouting hard

lol

 

 

[Vesper 31,112]

ffs

Mamadou Sarr (our newest CB, he comes in summer from Strasbourg) sub off perhaps injured 

may be a tendon issue

Exclusive: Sunderland block Noah Sadiki transfer amid Chelsea interest

https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-sunderland-block-noah-sadiki-transfer-amid-Chelsea-interest/

Sunderland are set to block any possibility of Noah Sadiki leaving in January amid interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, sources have told Football Insider.

The 20-year-old has made an impressive start in the Premier League after his arrival in the summer, and the Black Cats are not willing to entertain a sale in January under any circumstances.

Chelsea and Manchester United both want to sign Sadiki in January, with the Blues having even made contact in recent months, but sources say that the Wearsiders will do “everything in their power” to keep hold of him for as long as possible.

Sadiki joined Sunderland for a fee of £15million in the summer, and it’s understood that they would only entertain a future sale for a “huge profit,” although that isn’t remotely part of their plans right now.

Noah Sadiki to miss up to seven Sunderland games for AFCON

Sadiki’s performances for Sunderland so far this term have attracted plenty of attention across the Premier League, and he has already made his £15m fee look like a bargain.

The Black Cats star has started in every single league game in 2025-26, and has been a huge reason why his team are flying as high as eighth at the moment on their return to the top-flight.

However, Regis Le Bris is now set to face a prolonged period without his star midfielder, as Sadiki is one of several Sunderland stars who is set to miss the next few games for the latest AFCON tournament.

Sadiki has been selected as part of DR Congo’s squad for the upcoming tournament, which begins on 21 December and ends on 18 January.

The midfielder is due to join up with his international teammates this week, and should his country make an unlikely push to the final of the tournament, then he could potentially miss as many as seven games for Sunderland.

Sunderland’s five other AFCON-bound stars

AFCON will cause headaches for almost all Premier League managers, but Le Bris and Sunderland are set to be one of the teams that are most affected.

The newly-promoted outfit are set to lose six players during the tournament, and they may return at staggered intervals, depending on how their nations perform.

Joining Sadiki at the tournament are left-backs Reinildo and Arthur Masuaku, representing Mozambique and DR Congo respectively.

There have also been call-ups for Habib Diarra (Senegal) and Chemsdine Talbi (Morocco), while Burkina Faso’s Bertrand Traore completes the set for Sunderland.

Le Bris will have to find a way of working without that group of stars, otherwise, his team’s strong start to the season could hit the rocks somewhat in the coming weeks.
