Maybe at the end of day, the question will not be:
“How much money did I make?”
“How many house did I build?”
But rather:
“How much good thing did I leave behind?”
“Who did I help?”
“Who prays for me today?”
“Did I impact people’s hearts?”
Window looking positive for us. Will be plenty of outgoings over the next few weeks and all the targets seem to be very good. A top midfielder, LB, Lacroix and Stones would be a very good window alongisde Rogers and Palestra.
First Chelsea signing in a long time where you can call it a top fit.Chelsea’s right side of the attack is stacked with Palmer & Estevão.The left side of the attack is where they have messed up and Rogers helps fix that. A pure shooter like Rogers complements Palmer & João Pedro.
More on exclusive Alex Scott story from earlier. Chelsea's rejected bid was £64m and was quickly turned down.
Bournemouth told Chelsea, much like they did to Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United, that they don't wish to sell.
Scott was first offered a new contract in March and on-off talks have taken place since.
Scott has indicated he has no plans, as it stands, to sign a new deal, even though Bournemouth are prepared to offer a contract with a 2027 release clause.
Bournemouth remain intent to keep Scott. Even if Scott doesn't agree to fresh terms, Bournemouth want to keep him for at least one more season. Current deal runs until summer 2028.🍒
Morgan Rogers confirms Cole Palmer non-stop called him to join Chelsea.📞
"I’ve known Cole since I was about 14, first in the England [youth] teams and then when we were both at Man City together. We’ve been speaking about this for a while; we always would love to have played together. So, for it to happen, we’re both excited.
"He’s non-stop ringing my phone, texting me, and I can’t wait. I think that’s probably the most special thing, playing with one of your best friends and being around him every day. It’s something I’m really excited about."

I was just about to tweet before this came out that Alonso and the hierarchy have recently held talks over moving for a midfielder. Seems like it was Scott.
🚨 Chelsea are considering making a move for John Stones. Club sources tried to downplay links a month ago but he is now a legitimate target, it can be confirmed. (@kierangill_DM) #CFC https://t.co/bs3aoHrcgb
🚨 Chelsea have added John Stones to their list of defensive options.
Maxence Lacroix still remains a priority and formal talks between Chelsea and Crystal Palace are ongoing and positive. [@JacobsBen]
