I followed that red rose Michelle from twitter since the takeover days. She oddly also like that same tweet that Gary nev liked. Unfollowed her straight away. Who on Earth would want to sign Greenwood now? Backlash from fans and negative PR would be massive.

Got to admit I cringed when I heard the seven nation army chant, its an awful tune for a football chant and has zero creativity or wit. Nearly as bad as the most boring chant ever - liiiiiiverpool, liiiiiiverpool, liiiiiiverpool

This could have been Santiago's moment. Would love a 40 yard thunder bastard from Schar in off the bar.

They have games against Leeds home and away, Barcelona home and away, as well as Palace and Leicester all within 19 days. Then 3 days later its the final. Some very tough games in there. If we can have a full squad of fit players we'll have a fantastic chance. So pleased we have a manager like Howe for a cup final and not some fluke like Pardew or Bruce. Can't bloody wait!

The ref went over to spoke to Howe and was pointing to his head. Would imagine he was saying its a concussion injury and Howe needs to take him off? Never really seen a ref do that before though.

There's just going to be no consistency at Chelsea with the team selection. If you play well and keep your place they'll have talented players on the bench earning mega money on long contracts who's morale is in the mud. When those players are given a chance there are immediately under pressure to put in 8/10 performances. If they do, the same happens to the player who was playing before them. That just isn't a recipe to build a "winning team"

Looks like we've binned off that nufc TV interviewer who was a bit "bland" Haven't heard him on any clips for a while and the new chap seems to ask a lot more engaging questions.

From what I can make of it it's due to giving their new players absurdly long contracts which lowers the transfer fee over the future seasons. Also they had their debt wiped clean when sold. Takes the piss but they found a massive loophole with FFP hence why its being changed so soon.

Transfer taps are in full flow

Dangerous strategy hoovering up talent just so other clubs don't get them. Especially with agents involved. Boehly really thinks you can just throw 11 good players together and win every trophy going doesn't he

We really want this kid it seems..

This works absolutely perfectly, we've hardly seen him this season but with him going out it would mean we can definitely bring another player in who can bring more to the side than Jonjo can. I think without this bid we maybe would have closed business and settled with him being in the team but now we can definitely upgrade. Killing two birds with one stone as the saying goes.

Some bits in here meeting Howe etc

Ahh so he started off at Liverpool... Now I understand why Everton fans are all "happy" he's left them! Hope they spend the money wisely... He's going to be an exciting player for us

Both Brentford and Brighton were desperate to sign him as he was top of the list on both owners moneyball strategy. It clearly works and identifies some real talent who can be snapped up without paying 50/60m fees.

Take the Wood money into account and this is a nice deal for us.

Another clue - shoooooooooot

Making our home grown players list a lot stronger with this lad and Gordon. Foundations for the future are being well and truly laid

Erikson left on crutches after the Carroll challenge. Not sure how bad the injury is yet though.

Earliest link I've seen of Gordon was some writer for the telegraph in July 2022

Clayton Blackmore isn't it? (behind Hughes)

How the fuck did that photo get leaked?!

Is he a shitbag and does he like shithousing

It has to be ASM's defensive workrate that is keeping him out of the team, I love him but when he's laying on the floor faking an injury while we're getting hit on the counter it's so bloody annoying.
