Instead of signing a below-market deal ~£40M per year, they waited and waited for a better deal that never came.

£160M left on the table. Isn’t that crazy?

Alonso can you do me just one favor in GW3

Last time Chelsea won the PL (16/17):
- Came off a 10th-place finish and no Europe
- New manager with a 3-back system
- Monday night London derby opener vs West Ham
- Hull City was in the league

Entering 26/27:
- Finished 10th last season and no Europe
- New manager Xabi Alonso - likely 3-back system
- Monday night London derby opener vs Fulham
- Hull City are promoted to the PL Not saying Chelsea are winning the league, but these are the exact same omens from the last time Chelsea won the PL. History loves a pattern.

🇪🇨 Moises Caicedo created 4 chances tonight vs Curacao but his side fail to score and draw 0-0. Could be home sooner than expected. Ecuador solid at the back and in midfield but can’t score goals.

Don't think Chelsea fans understand how good a signing Valentin Barco really is.

Young Ligue 1 Player of the Year nominee, with Doue, Bouaddi, Joao Neves and Zaire Emery.

Expecting a promising start to his Chelsea career 💎

Dont you think Chelsea should’ve made significant progress on at least one target by now?

I don’t know if it’s just me but after the season we had we should be moving with the speed of Madrid with our signings. What’s stopping us?

Cape Verde were in a group with Ghana and Egypt at AFCON 2023. They won the group with 7/9 points. No other team got to 4 points.

They’ve been decent for a while

Who are you more excited to watch at Chelsea next season?

(Via CFCDan_01)

Caicedo has been playing as a No. 8 for his country. Averaging 3.50 chances created per 90.

Do you fancy Caicedo as an 8 instead of a 6?🤔💭

‼️Blackburn and Swansea City are interested in signing Chelsea youngster Kiano Dyer this summer.

Maxence you are next 🫵🔵

Xabi Alonso wanted Palestra, and he got his man

Hope he’s aware that the expectations only rise if he’s getting all the players that he wants

May the board continue to back him properly this window 💙

Basically confirms we are building towards a back 3 team?

We still wait for more to see whether we also want to build a team that also plays a back4 or not. Will be interesting to see.

Doubt we’ll chase a LWB because that spot is for Neto/Quenda.

Colwill. Fofana. Lacroix.

Xabi Alonso’s dream back three? 👀💙

Three days later and our first signing is secured

When i speak, Todd listens🫵

Two full Premier League seasons and he missed only one Premier League game in each season. 70 starts out of 72 games.

That’s the kind of injury record we need

Palestra was also crowned Serie A’s fastest player for 2025/26, taking home the Frecciarossa Speed Award.

📊 27.96 km/h average sprint speed — the highest in the league
🥈 Ahead of Napoli’s Hojlund (27.92 km/h)
🥉 And Fiorentina’s Dodô (27.77 km/h)

It’s his average speed throughout the season. The engine never drops off.
