This signing makes me very uncomfortable.
I don’t need my footballers to have a heart of gold, but streaming and singing a xenophobic, racist, homophobic and transphobic chant crosses the line for me. A public apology that doesn’t even specifically name the issues doesn’t cut it.
£125m is also a poor use of funds.
We’re signing a player with great (not unique) qualities on ball, who introduces off ball issues and needs to be accommodated; I don’t consider the trade off to be worth it.
I hope he does well for City, because I’m a City fan. I’ll celebrate when he scores, because City will have scored. But he’s a player I will never support nor like.
Chelsea had reached full written club-to-club agreement with Monaco for Camara. But having renegotiated the Balogun deal to Everton, Monaco have withdrawn the agreement with Chelsea for Camara. Fair to say Chelsea are absolutely fuming and regard it unprofessional behaviour.
🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea have 5 midfielders in their squad. Moises Caicedo, versatile option and captain Reece James, Romeo Lavia, Barco and Henderson. Chelsea leaning towards not signing someone unless something sensible crops up. (@NizaarKinsella)
