đš EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea reach verbal agreement with Aston Villa to sign Morgan Rogersâ . Bid of ÂŁ117m accepted by #AVFC & being finalised. 6+1y contract, medical Mondayâ . #AFC interested but 23yo attacker wanted #CFC; Xabi Alonso instrumental @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/81YbZw7ELc
Scaloni, by the way. Remarkable coach - showed (again) that you don't need attackers to make an offensive change.
Brought on fresh defenders (even if they're old), allowing them to defend higher and push more with their existing attackers. Masterstroke.
đš Donald Trump confirms yesterday's exclusive that he asked Gianni Infantino to review Flo Balogun's red. "Yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man [Infantino] who is highly respected. I'm the one who got them to do it [the World Cup], not Biden. Biden was asleep."
Trevoh Chalobah is not much more than a squad player for a club like Chelsea. Versatile & Durable. I understand pure profit when itâs not an elite talent. But Tosin, Badiashile, Disasi & Fofana should all be out the door before him.

Absolutely buzzing Chelsea did not get European football. Am I the only one?
- Didnât deserve it
- Clear out players who donât want to be here
- More time with Xabi on the training pitch
- Donât have to watch shocking football on Thursdays
Exactly what we need for me.
Watching this performance is a bigger reminder of what we lost when Maresca left in jan
Although I get why Maresca was tired of the club leadership and constantly being undermined, he did snake it a bit by deciding to leave so soon in jan, knowing it boosts his odds of getting the City job
Listen, these dumb directors should have patterned a new deal and listened to his football demands at the end of the day
Look how seamlessly weâve been able to revert back to playing our football now Rosenior has left?
Itâs annoying to think how avoidable all this shit couldâve been
đšđŁïž Thierry Henry on Chelseaâs current situation, where it all started, Tuchel, Maresca and Liam Rosenior:
âIâm sorry, but whatâs happening at Chelsea FC right now is self-inflicted chaos and it starts from the boardroom, not the dugout.
You had Thomas Tuchel, a guy who literally brought you back to the top, gave you identity, gave you belief and what did you do? You removed him. Not because he failed, but because there was no patience. Since then, itâs been the same story, different names.
Then you bring in Enzo Maresca, a guy building something, a clear project, a structure⊠and what happens? He delivers silverware, Conference League, Club World Cup and instead of backing him when things get tough, you pull the plug again. Thatâs not football management, thatâs panic.
And then you bring in Liam Rosenior, no disrespect to him but youâre asking someone with limited top-level experience, coming from Ligue 1 exposure, to suddenly fix structural issues that have been there for years. Thereâs no stability behind the scenes. You canât build anything like that. Thatâs not how football works
Five consecutive league losses. No goals. First time in over a century. Thatâs not just âbad formâ, thatâs a reflection of confusion, lack of direction, and poor leadership from above.
People will blame the players, and yes, theyâve been poor â but when a club keeps ripping up projects every 12â18 months, what do you expect? You donât build winners like that. You just create confusion.
And now Iâm hearing talk like âtrust the processâ again⊠what process? There is no process. Itâs just decision after decision with no direction.
Chelsea arenât just struggling, theyâve lost their identity. And until the people at the top take responsibility, it wonât matter whoâs on the touchline⊠the same story will keep repeating.â
