lololol

fucking Fichajes

ass clowns on nuclear powered steroids

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan in the coming months. 

Tottenham plot move for 26-year-old Chelsea target after Paratici’s green light

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2025/12/19/tottenham-plot-move-alessandro-bastoni-Chelsea-target/

They will face competition from London rivals Chelsea, as per Fichajes, and it will be interesting to see where the Italian defender ends up. The 26-year-old has been outstanding for Inter Milan, and he is certainly one of the best defenders in European football right now.

The player is at the peak of his career, and he could improve both teams. Tottenham and Chelsea have looked vulnerable at the back this season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch. The 26-year-old is not just a quality defender, but he is also excellent with the ball at his feet, and he will add control and composure to the side. The player has proven himself in Italy, and he could be open to taking a new challenge. The move to the Premier League could be an exciting opportunity for him.

IF we sell Josh I am going to lose my fucking mind.

My biggest issue with Maresca is his continuously not picking him as one of our two starting CBs, especially with the player picked over him is either either Badi or ESPECIALLY TOSIN, ffs.

Acheampong is still only 19yo and has MASSIVE upside, potentially (from what I can see) world class potential.

IF Colwill (and we had ALL best hope that he does) fully recovers from his knee injury, then I can see Levi and Josh as a superb CB pair for ages.

They are the ONLY two CBs we have atm who you can say that about NOW, even on a potential basis, unless Aarón Anselmino or new boy Amadou Sarr explodes.

Trevoh is what Trevoh is, a solid squad CB, but will never be WC (and he turns 27yo this summer, so he doesnt have years and years to get there).

Same for Fofana, who is very likely never again going to reach the near WC heights he was moving towards before he destroyed his leg with Leicester.

Disasi is shit and is soon gone (knock on wood).

Tosin is even worse than Disasi IMHO (somehow he has gotten there, ffs) and needs to GO.

Badi, well he is above the last two, but is still not at all good enough. Unfortunately, unless we buy a great left footed CB (ie the pipe dreams Bastoni or Murillo, or Buongiorno, or stepping down a wee bit, the crazy expensive Branthwaite, the super hard pull Schlotterbeck, or the semi dice-rolls Lukeba, Inácio or the oft-injured Botman), we are going to be stuck with him for likely a year more (especially as our only other lefty CB is the long-term injured Colwill). 

Honest Ahanor looks to be a superb young (turns 18yo in February) CB, BUT he is just that: a super young player with bags of potential but not a 'plug him in and he is lock to be a 45 game starter for Chels' type (for now), plus, like Lukeba, he is on the small side (both are 1.84m, although Ahanor could, in theory still grow a bit).

NEW: Sources confirm Chelsea star now set to leave, trio of Premier League clubs on alert

EXCLUSIVE - this saga is nearing its conclusion...

https://thedailybriefing.io/p/nicolas-jackson-transfer-update

Chelsea will have a big decision to make on one of their forgotten players, following a loan move this season which hasn’t worked out.

Speaking to well-connected sources close to the agents industry, I’m told that Nicolas Jackson is not in Bayern Munich’s long-term plans after a lack of impact at the Allianz Arena this season.

Bayern took Jackson on loan from Chelsea, but now seem to have decided against signing him permanently, meaning the Blues misfit will have to head back to Stamford Bridge, albeit probably not for very long.

Nicolas Jackson attracting transfer interest as Bayern stay in doubt

Jackson’s time at Chelsea has also surely come to an end, and it looks like the club have already done their work replacing him by bringing in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer, while Emanuel Emegha is already set to join next term.

This will be an opportunity for Chelsea to make a sale, and my sources suggest there’ll be plenty of options for them to offload the Senegal international.

“Jackson is highly unlikely to stay at Bayern,” one source said. “His loan deal included a 65 million euro mandatory buy option, but it was tied to specific performance milestones which are now almost certainly not going to be met.”

Another told me: “In the Premier League, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Everton are closely monitoring Jackson’s situation. Atletico Madrid and Napoli could be two other options to watch out for, and Chelsea will certainly be looking for a buyer.”

What went wrong for Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea and Bayern?

Jackson looked like an exciting talent when he first joined Chelsea from Villarreal in the summer of 2023, but he hasn’t developed as many would’ve hoped.

Now 24 years of age, Jackson is no longer a youngster, so will need to start performing more consistently if he is to make it at a truly top-level club.

Jackson scored 17 goals in his first season at Chelsea, followed by 13 in his second campaign, but he has just five goals in 18 games so far for Bayern.

An injury to Delap at the start of this season led to Chelsea quickly trying to cancel Jackson’s loan to Bayern, but the player pushed for the move to still go through, and in the end he got his wish and Marc Guiu was recalled from his loan at Sunderland instead.

It’s now anticipated that Jackson will be open to leaving Chelsea for a new challenge next summer.

 

 

my add

Those stats quoted above for this season are misleading, as he has 5 goals and 1 assist in only 542 minutes of play

that is a really good rate of return per minute

we would kill to have one of our CFs score at that rate

That works out to a rate of 30 goals and 6 assists in 3,252 minutes

plus he scored 2 more goals for Senegal in 104 total minutes of play (versus Brasil and Kenya)

compare that to Isak

2 goals, 1 assist for Pool in 766 minutes

and no goals, no assists for Sweden this season in 226 minutes

🔵Chelsea are seriously working on a deal to sign Vitor Roque from Palmeiras.

Finally, in London, Chelsea is working hard to sign Vitor Roque, Palmeiras' new star player. The 20-year-old Brazilian striker is taking Brazil by storm with 15 goals in his last 20 games, becoming the third highest scorer in the Brasileirão.

(@sachatavolieri)

 

FC Chelsea could knock on Lille’s door in January with a €45–50 million bid for 18-year old ‘generational talent’ Ayyoub Bouaddi.

They want to sign him outright, then loan him to sister club Strasbourg to continue his development.

Chelsea has already signed a contract with 16-year-old super talent Deinner Ordonez, while U-17 World Cup star Mohamed Zongo (16) will move to Racing Strasbourg to play for the Blues in the future.

Manchester United Is very interested, Arsenal have already made first contact with Bouaddi’s camp, while Liverpool see Bouaddi as a “player for the next 10 years.”  (@MarkBrus)

Was he not absolutely shit in Spain & wanted to go back to Brazil because he was homesick? Screams Clownlake tbf.

He flopped hard at Barca where it’s easy to score goals. Another mid signing if true.

He made a smart choice staying with Villa in the summer. Didn't risk changing environment in a WC year 

Could see him leaving if Emery leaves the club but otherwise he seems a great fit there, becoming a club talisman and Chelsea don't look like a huge step up right now

Probably has worked out better for his development also. He got jeered by the Villa fans earlier in the season against Bologna after a tough start and Emery kept playing him through that patch to toughen him up. Looks as if its worked wonders. Also would say Tuchel has put a lot of faith in him with the national team which will have no doubt given him a boost, particularly as his direct competition for that central role is Jude Bellingham (and if you believe the media as well as consider Tuchel’s publicly stated intentions on picking the best team as opposed the best names, he looks to be ahead of him as it stands for the starting 11).  

Think this summer will be interesting, even more so after the World Cup. We have been linked but it would also be something that I think the player himself may be wary of because he could have the likes of City, Arsenal, Liverpool also if he continues like this and has a good WC. He will be £100m easy if this form Continues.

Vitor Roque would absolutely have been the model Clearlake signing before he went to Barca and flopped massively. Thankfully I don’t think even this board isn’t silly enough to buy him now. The last thing this squad needs is another young and inconsistent forward when we’ve already got a bunch of those on our books as is.

It is kinda mad how the last 2 Brazilian “wonderkids” to move to the Spanish giants in Roque & Endrick have been complete disasters. We got super lucky that Estevão looks like he has settled much better than those 2 did.
