What a bellend this guy is 🤣. Trying to take a dig at Chelsea by calling it a sideways move. Honestly one of the most bitter posts I’ve seen in a long time. Blinded by utter stupidity. #CFC
I've been hurt by Sunderland players leaving before...
Darren Bent to Aston Villa, Patrick Van Aanholt to Crystal Palace, Stéphane Sessègnon to West Brom, even Josh Maja to Bordeaux...
I could always handle players like Henderson, Mignolet, Jobe taking huge, deserved leaps, Pickford the same after we were relegated... but I've never liked players making sideways steps.
Nothing though, will be able to prepare me for seeing Granit Xhaka in a Chelsea shirt... I can't begin to fathom it.
Chelsea are a bigger club, with a better chance of silverware over the next few seasons... but they've finished 10th or below twice in the last 4 years, finished 3 places below Sunderland in 25/26, losing to us home and away, and feel like a long way off their peak.
Xhaka would throw away EVERYTHING he's said about Sunderland, the fans, the community... to move back to London, work with a manager he's already worked with and represent one of Arsenal's biggest rivals?
I'm always reluctant to use words like betrayal... football is a business, players have to make decisions that they think is best for them...
But for me it would be one of the most soulless moves of the summer.
🚨 Manchester City verbal proposal to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson was worth £106m + add-ons, taking it above £120m. #NFFC want British record fee guaranteed, not after bonuses. No fresh talks with #MCFC over 23yo England midfielder @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/DdanEQcqnz
@RHB1988 Oh yeah that’s poor, although I feel like everyone is doing the same routines. So much copying goes on in coaching it’s seems now more than ever.
I've not been thrilled by Rosenior's first 4 games in charge.But he has had 4 games in 11 days and maybe a handfull of sessions in there.I don't understand how people are expecting to see major changes to what Maresca drilled into the players for 18 months. It takes time. #CFC

Rennes’ position is they are hoping for a fee surpassing the €64m Manchester City paid for Jeremy Doku. Remains to be seen whether Chelsea prepared to pay that high. Club-to-club talks underway with Jeremy Jacquet one of #CFC’s centre-back targets between now and February 2.⬇️
@ChelseaFC This is nothing new for us, changing managers has been in the clubs DNA. Maresca didn’t necessarily deserve it, like many before him. But he has not covered himself in glory and there is a lot to be desired by his tactics/subs and style of play. #CFC

NEW @TheAthleticFC: Chelsea & the club’s players have decided to give an equal portion of club’s $15.5m Club World Cup bonus fund (around $500k per player) to family of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva following tragic death of the two brothers this summer.
