🚨🔵 EXCLUSIVE: Filip Jørgensen to Chelsea, here we go! Deal done and closed right now between clubs.
Chelsea will pay €24.5m fee to Villarreal for Danish talented GK, long term deal also agreed.
Deal done by Goal Management and Epic Sports agencies.
New GK for Maresca. 🇩🇰
This idea that some how Chelsea are favoured by the establishment despite being given a 2 window transfer ban and put under government sanctions with a number of broadsheet journalists calling for us to be liquidated in the last 4 years, is genuinely hilarious
My hot take is that both of Paez or Estavo will never play for Chelsea. I predict that one of Bayern or Madrid will make a bid for them next summer and Clearlake will take the profit and run. The ownership have already shown they have no interest in competing or winning
So we are selling our captain essentially from last season and then paying them MORE for some random yout who has done absolutely nothing!? These parasites are running us like a charity other clubs most love us
🔵🇪🇸 Chelsea keep discussing with Atlético Madrid about Samu Omorodion in separate deal.
The interest remains concrete, it depends on Atlético as explained today. ⤵️
That post by Depay has really wound me up. Fucking appalling. There are so many victims of rape that don’t come forward out of fear of repercussions from the perpetrator or not being believed. And he has the gall to ask when will be people stick up for athletes!!?!
@AdamCrafton_
I’m genuinely in shock. The whole post is fucking appalling but the amount of players liking and sagely agreeing with it is utterly shocking. It’s made me seriously question whether football (my life’s passion) is actually for me anymore
Liverpool and Bayern Munich are far bigger and better run clubs than we are and are ending up with not even remotely their first choice so I’m looking forward to seeing how much of a farce Winstanley and Stewart make it this
@willreyner
He looks a half decent prospect but we need a level raiser now. Why stunt Jackson’s growth unless your bringing in the real deal. Seems pointless to me and a signing for the sake of it
@CFCDaily
You need to earn time though. Arteta earned it after a good initial 6 months and an FA Cup win. What has Potter shown so far? It’s ok to want a process but when the main person overseeing it is incompetent, it’s time to pull the plug
Shocking scenes currently ongoing in Naples:
guerrilla in downtown, a squad of 20 policemen risking their life, as a Eintracht and Atalanta hooligans allied are setting on fire the city.
Naples is currently hostage of 300 hooligans

In the early 1930’s the Nazis won 12 seats in the reichstag. Anyone who studied WWII history can see what is happening particularly if this exit poll is true. The wolfs are at the door now
@jasebyjason
It’s a different time. The country has shifted far more to the right in the last 12 years where people actually care about this crap. Don’t know labours plans for the economy or a ceasefire but at least we know where they are on England kits. That’s the real quiz I guess
@FootballCliches
‘Nicholas Jackson misses crucial spot kick as Blackburn pile on the misery for Mauricio Pochettinos Chelsea in shootout defeat’ feels like the most inevitable headline ever
@Carra23
Souness was a brilliant pundit because he created debate, had strong opinions and wound people up (inc me at times). That’s what you want! He was far more interesting and engaging to listen to than some of the vanilla ‘I don’t want to upset anyone’ pundits we see more of now
@CFCDaily
Am I positive about the recruitment and general structure around the club? Absolutely. The ownership was always going to make mistakes and the manager was one of them. If we want to get back to the heights of winning trophies (let alone winning the odd game) then he needs to go
The fact that there are so many people not bothering for a night time 5th round FA Cup tie against arguably our oldest rivals (Tottenham aside) is a damning indictment of what the ownership have done to this club in 18 months. Two years ago, everyone would have been buzzing
Moises Caicedo wasn’t alive in the 70’s 80’s or 90’s. Unless your saying that only success from that period is relevant, even to kids growing up watching other teams compete and win stuff. Just pure delusional Jurassic thinking
A regular reminder that Manchester United and Liverpool remain the two biggest and most important clubs in English football. Arsenal are next and by definition the biggest and most important London team
My biggest problem with Lampard more than the results. What justification is there for not giving him a shot over the likes of fucking Ziyech!? It really is piss poor
Spare a thought for Carney Chukwuemeka. It’s honestly baffling & pretty shameful that we fought to get him last summer, had him stay with the first team and yet he got more mins when our season was “alive” than he’s getting when it’s now dead.
Makes no fucking sense.
@FootballCliches
He absolutely screams ‘getting frustrated by Jamie Redknapp quizzing him pitchside about whether any manager could get the best out of such a young squad of players’ some time next April
Absolutely disgusting that we played on that pitch against Dortmund. These pre season stunts in the states have essentially cost RLC his Chelsea career and now cost us this season before it’s even started. Really is disgraceful the lack of care taken in both instances
@AlexGoldberg_
@Je_Frota
It’s clear that they have absolutely no regard for the culture, history or fanbase at the club. Their constant arrogance and inability to admit their mistakes and actually just double down on them means we could be an Everton in 5 years
If the likes of DD Fofana, Madueke, Mudryk, Badiashile, Carney etc were starting games 1) I think the results naturally improve 2) even if they didn’t, people would be far more accepting than just the same old faces every week
We were so much better when Auba came on yesterday (not that the bar was high in the first place)
It does prove though that, we’re far better off with literally any proper striker on the pitch than persisting with Havertz/Felix/Sterling as number 9
Boehly/Eghbali didn’t do the wrong thing in setting up a football operation but it’s clear as day now that the people they’ve put in place are completely out of their depth. Aside from signing kids, it’s clear they can’t get the big deals over the line
Should have been fuming at Arsenal costing us the league but was absolutely buzzing after this as were most people. Just shows fans don’t mind not winning, long as they see a team and manager giving absolutely everything. I don’t recognise this current football club I’m watching
Despite how poor Chelsea have been in the league this season, it really wouldn’t surprise me if we turn up in the Champions league. Chelsea on CL nights are a different team
This idea that Arsenal players and fans were over celebrating yesterday is completely ridiculous, If Chelsea won a game that way while going for our first title in many years I’d have gone fucking mental and people that have a problem with it clearly don’t get what it’s all about
If we aren’t going to sign Oshimen and Sesko goes to Arsenal, instead of paying £100 million for a Brighton striker that hasn’t scored in 8 months, just buy a Giroud type back up striker, Olise and persevere with Jackson. Now is not the time for taking stupid punts
And above all, as good as Balogun is - and he is very, very good - I don't know if signing him might hamper our chances of getting Evan Ferguson.
Ferguson is the Enzo of strikers - a comet in the sky. We should pursue other CFs only if it's 100% certain we cannot get him.
@FootballCliches
‘It’s good to be back, at least as I’m only here on an interim basis so I probably won’t get the sack hahaha but no it’s really important we finish the season in a positive manner’
My biggest takeaway is that Winstanley is a massive fraud. Had his pants pulled down multiple times already and has ballsed up numerous contract negotiations
🚨 Manuel Ugarte to PSG, here we go! Understand the player is ALREADY in Paris set for medical — he’ll sign the contract today.
#PSG
PSG will pay €60m to Sporting, Chelsea left the race 12h ago and Ugarte will join PSG as Campos closed the negotiation.
Ugarte + Asensio ✅
These owners have zero respect for either the match going or global fanbase. The only time they speak is indirectly on one of their conference appearances or that statement from Winstanley and Stewart which basically was just them saying what a great job they are doing
Why can’t they just come out and say ‘look this has been a mess so far and what we have tried to do hasn’t worked but we are going to fix it’ instead of this delusional doubling down that they’ve been doing!? Do they realise or even care how bad it looks
@CFCDaily
Fulham away was the end for me. What’s telling though is even people who were backing him admitted enough was enough yesterday. It’s got to the point where one good result against Spurs or Dortmund paper over the cracks over his actual ability as a manager
It's not been a bad summer so far. ☀️
We have taken Enzo Maresca from Leicester, who won the Championship, swiped Adarabioyo on a free from our rival neighbours Fulham, and are now close to signing Kellyman from Villa and sold them Maatsen.
Jhon Durán, the cherry on top? 🍒
The cup final is in three weeks. Pull the plug so that whether it’s a new full time manager or an interim can build some momentum ahead of Wembley. We are on course for the mother of all embarrassments in 3 weeks as it stands
The manager came out a week ago and said that he wanted players on the tour now. Instead they are trying to still flog players in an already thin squad before signing anyone. They’re completely letting him down.
Deivid Washington to Chelsea, deal now imminent after official bid submitted in the last hours for 2005 born Brazilian striker 🚨🔵🇧🇷

@CFCPys
I’d also be wary at this stage with Nagelsman. After Potter I’d rather a more experienced hand at the tiller. Ancelotti, Poch or Enrique for me
My hot take is that both of Paez or Estavo will never play for Chelsea. I predict that one of Bayern or Madrid will make a bid for them next summer and Clearlake will take the profit and run. The ownership have already shown they have no interest in competing or winning
Rape is arguably the hardest thing to prove in the British judicial system. A number of independently came forward about the same person having never met one another. The fact people are defending this man is beyond the pale
Julie Etchingham has done an absolutely terrible job at moderating this. Will ask someone to answer a question then just move on, people are learning precisely nothing
#ITVDebate
@ScottyHayter
Think there is a lot of caution around him after he had a set back following the first injury and he doesn’t look 100% fit to me; whereas the other three look far more robust fitness wise. I think he is a quality player but don’t think we will see this properly until next season
EXC 🚨Chelsea walk away from Alexander Isak deal due to wage demands, they will turn their attention to the under 15 Venezuelan market to solve their striker issues
Whether you are big fans of Mount or Rice the fact the club have screwed up one resigning and have made the other who is a boyhood chelsea fan not interested in the slightest in signing for us is evidence of how bad they are and how bad things could get
It’s only dawned on me tonight that we aren’t in it next year. Watching at the end I was like ‘hope that’s us again next year’ then remembered we aren’t in it 😭😭😭😭 thanks
@todd_boehly
Absolutely heartbroken 💔 thank you for being the sweetest, kindest most beautiful dog anyone could ask for. It was fleeting but I’ll never forget you or stop loving you. Can’t believe I won’t see you again. Rest in peace my best boy ❤️
Regardless of whether it’s right to sell Gallagher, Chelsea don’t do business with Tottenham and vice versa. Utterly deranged that the ownership don’t understand that. I think this will prove a turning point for a lot of matchgoers towards the ownership
‘Hi Kai, we’ve got an ultimatum for you, we will give you a nice long contract on reduced wages to stay at this shit show or you can move to Real Madrid, it’s a tough choice but the balls in your court’
🚨Chelsea have told Kai Havertz that he must either extend his existing deal at Chelsea or they will look to move him on. — Chelsea want Havertz to sign a new contract otherwise they will look to do business with potential suitors. [

Call me deluded but if Chilwell and James had stayed fit the whole of 2021/22 I reckon we win the league and maybe the CL again. We were battering virtually every team. That Chilwell Injury late on v Juventus a massive sliding doors moment
Just an absolute clown show. Arsenal out here signing the players they need in time for pre season yet we can’t start talks with a club because they might sign a midfielder we haven’t even bid for yet. It’s just staggering incompetence and people that back them are wallies
🚨 “Chelsea will be following Rayan Cherki. I would say he’s one of the best talents in the world. It's normal for top clubs to follow him.”
“At the moment, I'm not aware of any direct contact yet between the two clubs. I think Chelsea are still waiting for the Moises Caicedo
@DPatrickRaven
@AdamCrafton_
Statistically rape is one of if not the hardest thing to prove in the British judicial system. Less than 2% of cases last year made it to court. Over 10 separate women who had never met this man all accused him off the same crime with the same modus operandi. Do the math.
In isolation the Mount thing doesn’t look good on the board, but the wider message that essentially ‘everyone is for sale’ screams that they know they have fucked it and a financial black hole is coming. Otherwise extending him would have been fairly simple and an easy win
🚨 Mason Mount leaning towards joining Manchester United if Chelsea agree to sell. Talks expected between the clubs in due course. Other sides who have been pursuing 24yo England international are aware of his preference

CBB would have been the far better show to go on tbf. Also I think it’s clear that she is struggling emotionally after going through such trauma if I was a psychologist I’d have advised against her going in because her reaction to Fred is not healthy behaviour
The amount of waffle those divvy North London cunts have been coming out with over the last 48 hours is absolutely hilarious. Just be happy that you got a point when you didn’t deserve too and move on like 99% of people that aren’t mentally deficient would
United have beaten every Big Six team at home plus Barcelona so far this season. I genuinely couldn’t tell you the last great home win/occasion that was in front of fans at Stamford Bridge. Arsenal at home in 2017 maybe?
I reckon AFC Wimbledon are going to have the most football league-y repertoire of songs we are ever likely to hear tonight. ‘What a waste of money’ any time someone has a shot and it doesn’t go in and ‘We support our local team’ are on my bingo card
