🚨🇸🇦 Tijjani Reijnders on moving to Saudi Arabia: “It’s money for generations of my family”.
“Once my playing career is over, I don’t want to have to work anymore. Of course, I probably wouldn’t have needed to work anymore after my contract at Manchester City either, but this move allows me to secure the future of the next generations of my family”.
“I’m not going to lie about that. By signing this contract, I can make sure even my grandchildren are financially secure, so why wouldn’t I do it?”.
🚨 John Terry on Xabi Alonso’s stubbornness that could land him in trouble:
🗣"Alonso needs to use this international break wisely. He can’t keep being stubborn. I’m not a fan of this formation, and when it’s clearly not working, he has to change it. When a coach digs his heels in and refuses to adapt, the results almost always suffer. He should speak to previous coaches, look for solutions, and start giving Estevão the consistent run he deserves.
Get Reece James back to his natural right-wing-back role as well his contribution is clearly stronger there than when he’s pushed into midfield. A lot needs to change. If it doesn’t, I’m sorry to say this could turn into another poor season."
Look how fast time flies! 💙

🚨🎙️ RIO FERDINAND JUST SAID SOMETHING THAT WILL ANNOY ARSENAL FANS:
“Let’s stop pretending the Champions League is the same without Chelsea.
It isn’t.
You can talk about Arsenal, Liverpool, City, Madrid, Bayern, whoever you want — but when Chelsea aren’t in this competition, you lose a different level of rivalry, pressure and European pedigree.
Look at Arsenal tonight against Napoli. Everyone is waiting to see whether they can finally prove themselves on the biggest European stage.
But imagine Chelsea being there too.
That’s when the competition really starts to feel serious.
Chelsea have their problems, absolutely, but this is a club that has won the Champions League twice. They understand these nights.
So Arsenal can enjoy their campaign, but let’s be honest — European football is missing something without Chelsea.
The Champions League needs Chelsea back.
It simply isn’t the same without them.”

Footy Headlines can exclusively leak that Nike will bring back green for Chelsea Football Club in the 2027-2028 season, ending a 16-season absence of the color on the pitch.
At this stage, Footy Headlines cannot yet confirm whether this vibrant color scheme will serve as Chelsea’s away or third kit for 2027-2028.
The new Nike Chelsea 27-28 away / third shirt will be predominantly 'Electric Green'. Nike will pair this striking, vibrant green base with Chelsea’s classic 'Deep Royal Blue' as the primary secondary color.
🗣️🚨Cole Palmer on the season:
The intensity in training is high and the ideas are clear. Everyone is working hard and the group feels connected. It’s a good atmosphere.
🚨 Chelsea fans want to know if Moises Caicedo is fit, but Xabi Alonso does not want you to know, because if you know, then Mikel Arteta and Arsenal know. Sources suggest they have noticed an increase in secrecy compared to previous managers. (@kierangill_DM)
