Wow 👌

Maignan vs Germany.

Solid today.. most of the shots were straight at him though but he handled them nice..

Ball distribution is just as good, not afraid to play short passes and go long when needed.

Just one game but i think he works better with a solid defense, it was porous last time and Spain really stretched them.

Faced a less quality team in Germany today. Almost gave away a pen, Gave a hospital Pass to Rabiot that almost led to a goal, Overall decent performance against a weak Germany side. £5m is enough to get him at his age and current performances this past season

He concedes, you complain.

He keeps a clean sheet "all shots were straight at him"

What do you want?

One of the main reasons Maresca wants Maignan is his ball-playing abilities, especially his long balls.

If you have a Delap up top, putting balls in the right channels from the GK is priceless.

And Maignan is one of the best at hitting those balls.

- Vince.

🚨 Get ready, new bid for Jamie Gittens is incoming. Chelsea want to try to be fast, I’ll give you details soon but, it will include add ons to try strike an agreement.

Chelsea held talks today with Dortmund. Joe Shields again is doing a special job in this, with a mark of ex city academy on Chelsea team.

If we get our recruitment right on the wingers we get next, we might worry Europe, These current wingers doesn’t fill me confidence at all. The Biggest teams in Europe now have Workd class wingers who decide games on their own.

🚨 | Alejandro Garnacho is CLOSE to leaving Manchester United, with a preference to remain in the Premier League.

Chelsea LEAD the race to sign him, followed by Arsenal.

Gittens wins duels for fun. Madueke is very competitive in duels but Gittens numbers is different level.

I love that physicality.

Maignan??

When Buttler was calling him Magic Mike, I was honestly seeing Shambolic Mike. Am not at all pissed with his failed transfer. In fact, I am relieved.

While Mike Footwork is daring and commendable, the man's propensity to concede some weird daft goals was triggering alarm bells in me. Maignan is another product of media created paper tiger. "Superstar goalkeeper" they say

He definitely would have given us ball playing confidence. Just like Onana does. But what is the essence of superior secondary traits and shambolic primary traits.


If you look at his weak foot side goalkeeping and near post protection, I honestly think we've dodged another bullet.

10M to me was more than fair valuation. Anything more than that could have been heist on us.

Do we need a goalkeeper? It's both yes or no. Depends with what you think

Am I pleased with the transfer window so far? Nope. I think we have been so shambolic and lacked precision. We have just been all over and confused like we didn't know what we wanted.

This is my only frustration so far

These two or Rodrygo, one of them is enough for to take us to the next level. Gittens would rather stall the development of Tyrique George, the next winger we should get should be a needle mover not another prospect

Jackson assist

Jackson vs Chalobah and Colwill, Very interesting watch all i can say is Maresca is doing a brilliant job

Madueke on for Saka

Chelsea club briefs :

Chelsea rate all 4 goalkeepers and will evaluate all of them at the CWC. Chelsea are not looking to sign a GK.

⬇️

Maresca rates Maignan and wants a new goalkeeper; he believes he needs someone with better distribution.

⬇️

Chelsea have pulled out of Maignan deal. Maresca never asked for him and Chelsea are happy with their 4 GK’s.

⬇️

Petrovic, Sanchez, Jorgensen and Penders will all get a chance to battle for the number one spot.

⬇️

Chelsea have now emitted Petrovic from the CWC squad. He has interest from lots of clubs.

The fans are not idiots. Wtaf.

This Maignan saga is absolute nonsense, we overspend on nothing players and can give Milan 5m more in what is already a cut price for a world class GK.
