Chelsea have paid over £225 million in transfer fees plus compensation for 11 players, coaching and recruitment staff since summer 2022 to Brighton, yet the Blues find themselves losing twice in six days to them.
It was also the first time since September 2021, against Man City, that Chelsea failed to record a shot on target in a Premier League game. 🤕

Chelsea are planning to raid Crystal Palace for 17-year-old winger Jesse Derry.
Palace would only receive minimal training compensation.
The going rate for similar deals is around £1.5 million plus add-ons which is set by a tribunal.

No elite European club has ever set up with a team of just youngsters, now we know why.
Club great, Joe Cole has called for more experience at Chelsea 👇
Joe Cole:
“You can get all the data you want of a 21 year old that will predict he will be this at 24, but there’s a process between 21-24 where he’ll have to learn in every single game”
“I know from my experience, playing with experienced players around me as a young man was invaluable, and it’s moments like the Brighton game where you need those experienced guys around you”
“I’ve said it from the very start of this ownership you have to have experienced players”
“You can have all the managers you want on the touchline, shankly, mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson, sometimes the lessons are learnt on the pitch with your team mates teaching you and nurturing you through a situation”

Couldn’t have agreed more.

Santos and Chelsea have exchanged the documents for Deivid Washington to complete his proposed loan move to the Brazilian side, with only final formalities missing.
Washington, who won the Under-20 CONMEBOL Championship title, finishing as Brazil’s top goalscorer in the tournament with three goals, is expected to travel directly from Venezuela to Brazil to undergo medical tests and sign his contract in the coming days.

A group of Chelsea supporters are planning to protest against Clearlake Capital, the club’s ownership group, ahead of this month’s Premier League match with Southampton at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues take on the Saints in the Premier League on February 25 - the west Londoners’ next home game - and some fans have planned a protest at 6pm [UK] outside the Bovril Gate at Stamford Bridge. There is growing unrest amongst fans with the club’s model coming into question.
🗣️ The Chelsea Forum - one of the organisers of the protest - caught up with @football.londonchelsea to talk about what is in the works:
“The protest is about change and hopefully causing the owners to have pressure applied on them by their investors as it will hurt their public image.
“The endgame is change the model or sell up. Also, their terrible treatment of staff, players and stripping of all of the club’s former assets.
“The protest will be a peaceful one with lots of fans and a few banners so that the fans can have their voices heard by the club. As of this moment, the protest will not continue inside the ground. There are already a few hundred [fans on board] but we expect these numbers to rise considerably before Monday. We want to highlight what the American ownership is doing to kill football here in the UK with exploitation and money being their priority.”

Winstanley and Stewart retain the full trust of Chelsea’s ownership. Their Pochettino-style assessment of Enzo Maresca has always been projected to take place in the summer of 2026, and there is no appetite to bring that forward. Chelsea want Maresca to be their long-term leader.
