I don’t like these David Luiz rumours. Refusing to train to force through a move to Arsenal. This seems odd in a few ways, very late in the window, arsenal are a rival and don’t have champions league football and I’ve always thought Luiz was loyal to us and loved the club despite celebrating against us. We certainly don’t have the squad depth to let him go.
1.) 07 Aug 2019 16:30:19
No rumours; Matt Law seems to have confirmed it.
2.) 07 Aug 2019 16:37:09
David luiz scored the winning goal v us in champions league and went absolutely mental ( as he should of ) and now refused to train to get his move, if this is the case I imagine it’s because he knows his not a regular starter under frank with Zouma back and rudiger close.
3.) 07 Aug 2019 16:54:24
It's weird, he signed an extension not long ago, in May. He could of left for free and commanded a big signing on bonus.
I would say Lamps might have said he will play a reduced role this season.
4.) 07 Aug 2019 16:55:28
The question is why is he forcing a move esp at this time in the window? Could it be that he has been told that his first team role will diminish and he doesn't want to play second fiddle OR have Arsenal offered him more years (in turn more money) OR is a combination of both factors OR could it be something else? Perhaps, time will tell.
I remember that D. Luiz pushed for a move from PSG to Chelsea the moment he realised that he would no longer be in the first team; could this push to leave at this moment be a similar scenario? Whatever he decides, I wish him good luck.
5.) 07 Aug 2019 17:06:09
Another twist to the story is that he didn't refuse to train that's according to Oliver Harbord of Football. london. So could his 'no-training' be that the club wants him out?
6.) 07 Aug 2019 17:16:06
MATT LAW'S WORDS: 'There have been a series of fall-outs surrounding him (D. Luiz) this week - He has made it clear he wants to go - Arsenal are interested'.
7.) 07 Aug 2019 18:30:53
Let him go, no more wild wasted free kicks and those moments of charging a midfielder and being out of position. Doesn’t want to fight for a spot then go,
8.) 07 Aug 2019 18:43:48
Wrong timing ahead of the Man Utd game.
Club ain't that daft to create a story by selling Luiz knowing they are banned and before a big game. Adverse media.
Luiz probably knows he will be phased out slowly and has been told at arsenal he will be integral. If this is the case then what a way to end a terrific career at chelsea.
9.) 07 Aug 2019 19:51:43
I would like to think of myself as a balanced fan but Luiz making demands from the club and wanting to go to Arsenal sucks.
He was on course to become something special at our club but any chance of that will disappear as he trundles over to North London.
I can’t think of two many times when we have kept players who want to leave, so I guess we will sell him and keep Tamori in our squad.
10.) 07 Aug 2019 22:30:45
Was reading on carefree that we got him to sign the new deal not to loose him on a free and that he’s been told he’s 4 choice hence why he wants to go and lampards given his blessing on the deal only passing on what I’ve read.
11.) 08 Aug 2019 00:11:06
Read Chelsea Will get around or close to £15m for him, that’s brilliant business of true, Zouma Rudiger both better, Christensen would be a lot better if he was bit more aggressive but that £15m can go with the hazard money morata money and go towards strengthen attacking wise end of season,
12.) 08 Aug 2019 09:58:52
He was probably our weakest defender in pre-season. I expect he's aware he won't be first choice this season and has thrown his toys out of the pram.
Overall he's been a decent player for the club, but I won't be too upset if he leaves and Tomori stays with the squad.
27 Jan 2019 19:59:59
Judging by his interview just then on BBC it looks like CHO is leaving. He couldn’t help but smile when asked about whether he’d spoken with Bayern and didn’t want to say anything about his future. Real shame as he played well today.
1.) 27 Jan 2019 20:07:41
why did chelsea allow him to do interview?
2.) 27 Jan 2019 20:11:29
Agreed RVD. Such a shame as well because I do think he'd make it at Chelsea if he stayed. But as you say he smiled as soon as bayern were mentioned.
I was surprised to see him play though if it is true about him putting a transfer request in.
If we refuse to sell him, hopefully he'll be given more starts in the 2nd half of season and change his mind about signing a new contract. That's my having wishful thinking anyway.
3.) 27 Jan 2019 20:34:20
Don’t think it was a case of him being allowed to do one or not. BBC cornered him and Willian as goalscorers on the pitch to talk about the game and then they asked him about his future.
I’d like to see that happen too King Drogba, I think he’s young and probably naive enough to change his mind constantly.
4.) 27 Jan 2019 20:43:51
he was already smiling from the little joke with Willian.
5.) 27 Jan 2019 20:45:51
he also said: Â "I'll keep working hard and you never know what will happen. "
6.) 27 Jan 2019 23:55:50
He already knew he was going to be asked about Bayern and he did well with his response.
7.) 28 Jan 2019 17:06:47
willian said his opinion he needs to stay he can't leave he knows the club he knows hel get time. interesting.
8.) 28 Jan 2019 21:36:35
According to the BBC website, CHO has been told he will not be sold.
Hopefully, Sarri will give him a lot more starts, especially in the premiership, nd that will persuade him to sign a new contract.
{Ed002's Note - Would you be happy to play him and end up 5th and not fourth?}
9.) 28 Jan 2019 23:54:18
I don’t think anyone would Ed but I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as that. Willian and Pedro have both been poor this season by and large and yet we’re 4th by 3 points.
10.) 29 Jan 2019 00:45:11
No I wouldn’t Ed002 but do you not think we could have given CHO more oppurtunities? There’s been plenty of times where Willian/ Pedro have been poor and we needed spark yet a midfielder came on. He’s a good option and we haven’t been able to see if he’s really good enough yet. Sterling at Liverpool got his chance and look what he did with it. Give CHO half a season with more game time (not outright starter) and we’ll reap the rewards I’m sure of it.
{Ed002's Note - No, he is still learning.}
11.) 29 Jan 2019 07:42:40
You are very correct Ed002, he's still learning, all I am saying is that we just have to keep him the boy is a very good footballer.
{Ed002's Note - But what you don’t do is kowtow to a child.}
12.) 29 Jan 2019 10:51:46
Maybe there's something you know that I don't know that you aren't telling cos you always know something that we don't know. I agree with you- no kowtowing to a child but Chelsea is a service oriented profit-making organization, so the (service- which is football; and money) that Hudson Odoi can bring in should be topmost in our minds.
Truly no kowtowing to anybody but talking and negotiating is very much allowed- for me.
{Ed002's Note - Yes, it is clear that you have little grasp of the situation or how the club works. Chelsea will not be held to ransom by any players - if a player is unhappy and a suitable offer made they will leave.}
13.) 29 Jan 2019 15:35:23
Disagree ed but fair enough.
14.) 29 Jan 2019 11:34:19
Judging from all you have said Ed002, why haven't the Chelsea sold him way before if clearly someone feels that he is or could be holding the club to ransome? Why didn't the club sell him in the summer or in this winter transfer window- what's causing the delay?
{Ed002's Note - Christ you don't seem to get it - he was 17 until sometime in November and still goes to school.}
15.) 29 Jan 2019 14:57:57
Highly disagree with you ed002 but fair enough mate.
16.) 29 Jan 2019 17:25:35
Thought my first post didn’t go through. Cheers.
27 Jan 2019 00:25:31
Ageing and declining Willian and Pedro, no guarantees Hazard is staying past summer. Despite the arrival of Pulisic has there ever been a better chance for an 18 year old winger to make it in the Chelsea first team? As much as I understand his frustration, I can’t help but feel a bit of patience would serve him best in this situation. The contract offer is absurd money and he could grow to be a real fan favourite. For every move abroad that works out there’s 10 that don’t. Biased as a Chelsea fan maybe but I really feel he’s best placed here.
1.) 27 Jan 2019 01:52:08
Willian and Pedro will likely be here next year, Pulisic is in and we will replace hazard with big money. He’s again 4th choice. I understand him.
2.) 27 Jan 2019 01:56:50
Let Hazard go, doesn't want to be here. Buy someone better, he will be gone shortly. We shouldn't give promises to unproven players whether it’s our fault or not, but we won’t be held to ransom - get rid.
3.) 27 Jan 2019 14:20:33
Again Sarri caused this mess. The same thing might happen with Emerson and Christensen if the club doesn't do something. I don't know what is with Italian coaches and older players.
CHO did quite enough during the preseason to force Sarri's hand to play him but the man just wants to stick with the elders (Willian and Pedro) . Sarri even picked RLC ahead of CHO for wing role this season when CHO is clearly better; perhaps these things also made him consider his future. The funny thing is that if Willian and Pedro are this bad this season, how good so you think that they will be next season?
In some ways I don't blame Hudson Odoi, let this serve as a lesson to Chelsea.
4.) 27 Jan 2019 17:05:07
I respect your opinions usually obinna. But on this occasion my views differ slightly. But i do agree with some points.
Yes i agree CHO maybe should have got more starts but only recently. But put yourself in Sarri's poistion for a moment, do you see for yourself whether willian and Pedro are capable or do you base your opinion on their performances under Conte? Sarri plays with more possession and may have felt he could raise their levels massively like he did with many players at Napoli. Obviously we were plain sailing until November so there was no need to take risks. Pedro has been good, his been unlucky with injuries but he seems prone to minor injuries. Obviously Willian not so good so that's why CHO should hsve featured more recently. However i do think CHO has got himself very close to selection now with Sarri but he seems to be wanting to take a different route now. I won't blame sarri for this. il respect CHO for what he wants to pursue.
Yes Emerson should play now, i don't agree with Alonso's selection just because he offers height. Alonso has been tailing for the last 2 months and should have been dropped. But hopefully Sarri will play Emerson nore now.
Unfortunately Christensen isn't good enough to replace Luiz or rudiger and is rightfully playing cup games. Luiz is having a cracking season, he always has to prove himself to the pundits. His accolades in football are not enough for them which is unfair. Everytime he wins a trophy he plays a massive part but its all forgotten when he makes a mistakes. Stones has made a lot more but he seems to untouchable to them. We need another defender or give Zouma a go. Zouma is quality.
5.) 27 Jan 2019 19:05:01
Hudson Odoi's talent and ability is too good to go unnoticed (for a top manager like Sarri) . He started showing these signs and abilities from preseason; what happened from that time till recently is the question we should be asking.
I blame Sarri cos of this character of completely forgetting the backups when some of them are clearly more productive than the perpetual starters.
Another area that scared me was the fact that Sarri is putting all confidence on Pedro and Willian- which makes me think- how will the future be if they are playing like this season (considering that the EPL which is a fast league and their ages will increase next season which means reduced productivity) . Considering how good our oppositions are.
6.) 27 Jan 2019 21:13:42
Fair points obinna. I get what your saying. Sarri obviously is a little stubborn and rotation is known to be his weakness. definitely should have been given a chance.
7.) 27 Jan 2019 21:55:22
All you have said is true CFCShak and you are always spot on; make no mistake, I respect Sarri a lot as a manager and I really like his football (the change is evidently massive in the way we play within a small space of time, so I like him and give him credit for that), I just feel he decided on the players that he wanted too quickly- early before he set feet on Chelsea ground- which I think isn't completely right cos some players that he's putting aside are the ones that's doing a lot better (football talks on the pitch - no where else) .
I want us to be like Mancity in the way they have a young team (or is working towards reducing the average age of their team) ; but I feel Sarri (being a typical Italian) likes older players a lot; our future is very important. I dream of the day that we have a team whose average age is 23-25 years that plays Sarri ball.
8.) 28 Jan 2019 21:00:47
Zouma will never be Chelsea quality as much as I like him but I don’t rate Christensen either. It’d be nice to get Romagnoli in as LCB give us some balance he’s a leader also what we need.
13 Jan 2017 16:54:50
Payet rumours gathering pace, apparently between us and Marsellie now. Personally, I don't think he's what we need, so I hope these rumours aren't true. Any further updates eds?
Cheers
{Ed002's Note - No.}
1.) 13 Jan 2017 17:22:42
I hope upon hope we never sign the likes of Payet. Not because of his ability, but any player refusing to play for there club should slung into the stand and fined his wages each week, so he would be sitting there for nothing. Certainly let him rot till the summer if not beyond. It may sound extreme but loyalty to your supporters if not your employer is important.
So no thank you
2.) 13 Jan 2017 19:31:18
So what's your opinion on Costa Andrew?
3.) 13 Jan 2017 19:42:53
Makelele supposedly did similar at Real Madrid prior to joining Chelsea.
4.) 13 Jan 2017 22:01:38
To be honest 11skelljcfc I didn't see the Costa story until about an hour ago. I have given my opinion on Costa above, and to be honest it is much the same. No player is bigger than the club.
5.) 13 Jan 2017 22:54:00
Fair enough.
22 Jun 2016 22:50:42
Guillem Balague seems to think we're willing to sell azpilicueta for around £14m, I don't know a great deal about how prices are determined but that seems incredibly low. He's invaluable to this team and shouldn't really be for sale at any price. I hope he's talking a load of rubbish, wouldn't be the first time.
1.) 23 Jun 2016 00:14:33
Considering how much Luke shaw was worth and Danilo when he moved to real (both fullbacks over 30m) selling azpilicuelta for less than 25m or at all is criminal.
2.) 23 Jun 2016 00:14:39
It's madness. How can youngsters who have never played for a first team be worth more the Dave.
He has been solid for outstanding for us since he has joined and to the think that he could be sold for 14mill.
3.) 23 Jun 2016 01:07:17
Plus he's brilliant at both sides, surely there's no way Chelsea would sell for that little? Plus he's still a good age.
4.) 23 Jun 2016 01:13:45
Rumour is Conte is looking at playing three at the back and doesn't see Dave as a proper wing back because too be honest although great defensively he's not fantastic going forward is he? I'd still like to see him on the right no matter what formation but we have to trust the manager.
5.) 23 Jun 2016 07:41:24
I wouldn't believe him, he said Ronaldo was going back to Utd last year.
6.) 23 Jun 2016 11:23:16
Off course we are not going sell any player to Man. Utd.
7.) 23 Jun 2016 12:16:52
It would be absoloutely criminal to sell azpilicueta to anyone never mind mourinhos United we would really show a lack of power allowing him to join United or any rival.
8.) 23 Jun 2016 17:10:43
I don't know what makes you think that we won't sell to Man Utd?
Juan Mata?
9.) 23 Jun 2016 18:13:35
We've sold too many good players in last few years, Mourinho didn't care about Mata and they've offered much more than any other club.
And they won't even try to sign any of our players.
There are only 2 important Chelsea players who might want to leave Costa and Willian. Reasons Madrid and money. Pedro might be pushed out by the time.
10.) 23 Jun 2016 19:22:04
I've lost count of how many times Ed002 has said if a player wants to leave and another club makes an acceptable offer Chelsea would sell.
11.) 24 Jun 2016 03:15:22
Yes we all no that redrosie were just sharing our views on the situation selling azpilicueta would be madness in my opinion. Antibot don't forget about courtois wither remember balague reported a while back if Madrid don't get de gea then courtois is der back up or no 2 plan I think he would leave personally if Madrid put in an offer and Chelsea accepted . I'd be quiet confident aswell that Costa will be back at athletico next season don't think he wants to stay that's the impression u get time will tell.
12.) 24 Jun 2016 08:35:04
I still think Dave is our next captain in waiting and will not be sold. His value to our club is"in my opnion" immeasurable. He is to Chelsea what Lham is to BM, and players of this ilk should be just as highly valued as the so called "superstars" as they perform at their very best, every time, in any position. He can't do what a Hazard does but at a level only slightly below, he does what he does week in, week out.
13.) 26 Jun 2016 02:35:35
Why do you all keep saying we won't sell a player to Man Utd? Don't you remember a certain ex Chelsea player of the year called a Juan Mata?

Did alright today I thought, difficult game against a team unbeaten in a while and when we’re coming off a loss in a final. Still passed the ball really poorly at times and the first goal was appalling but a good win nonetheless. Thought that was the best the home fans have been in a while too, hopefully another Wembley trip soon although I don’t think I can stomach another final.
26 Jan 2024 23:07:18
We were ok today, controlled the game from start to finish but never really looked like scoring a goal. Thought the fans were ok, nothing special but neither were the villa fans. Definitely a winnable second leg and a domestic cup double sounds pretty good to me.
1.) 26 Jan 2024 23:22:29
RVD, fingers crossed mate. I’m not sure about the replay date and if it interferes with Villa’s European fixtures?
2.) 26 Jan 2024 23:24:11
Never looked like scoring? We missed 4 chances from about 10 yards out!
3.) 27 Jan 2024 09:01:05
It could be they will have players returning from AFCON before we do but we might have a few more players match fit before any replay.
23 Jan 2024 23:45:54
Great performance tonight, clinical which we haven’t been for a long time and had total control from the first minute. Credit to the boro fans, they were loud right the way through.
1.) 24 Jan 2024 00:02:56
Apparently 6 shots on target 6 goals. Having Ben Chilwell at lb makes a huge difference.
2.) 24 Jan 2024 00:22:03
Wow didn’t realise we were quite that clinical. Agreed, amazing what happens when we play a full back at full back rather than a centre back. That being said, Disasi did well and his goal was great.
3.) 24 Jan 2024 09:37:12
One of our shots on target was from their centre back.
4.) 24 Jan 2024 10:00:53
Five werb't.
21 Oct 2023 21:45:38
Really disappointing final result but would’ve bitten your hand off for a point before the game. Fills me with confidence that we battered arsenal pretty much all game, just couldn’t take the win due to individual errors. Best atmosphere of the season so far as well, thought it was great. Need to take the positives and try and take some momentum from this.
1.) 21 Oct 2023 21:59:12
RVD. Very true about momentum and individual errors costing us dearly.
Not going to get carried away with another good performance because at the end of the day it’s about results but the signs are good.
15 Sep 2023 16:38:37
Was at Cobham today and got to meet all of the players and Poch and watch training. Seem like a really good group of lads and had a lot of time for us with photos and signing things. Got to give the club credit for making us feel very welcome. Had a good chat with Cudicini regarding our loan system too which unsurprisingly he’s very optimistic about.
1.) 15 Sep 2023 17:21:27
RVD, how wonderful. I haven’t been to Cobham for some time. Fantastic complex.

Fantastic to hear rvd!
07 Feb 2024 10:29:54
The passion and effort absolutely was not there when Jose got sacked in his second spell. He lost the players, they stopped playing for him and we finished 10th after winning the league. Jose will always be loved at Chelsea but I think it would be a dangerous appointment right now.
17 Aug 2023 16:01:48
Glad to hear it ed, wouldn’t be a good look.
17 Aug 2023 14:44:44
Supposedly to do with Palace accusing us of tapping him up, not entirely sure what that would involve but the last thing we need is some sort of court case to sour the window.
{Ed002's Note - That was not the accusation.}
25 Jul 2023 14:56:35
Brighton will either accept a huge offer or be stuck with a player that doesn’t want to be at the club and will probably feel a bit let down that he wasn’t allowed to leave in January or the summer. Can’t blame Brighton for asking for a huge fee or Colwill in negotiations but I think as the window drags on, a compromise will be found as they realise it’s probably best for them to sell.
23 Jun 2023 11:58:36
Really frustrating to hear that, Ed has said previously we’ve made a significant offer and yet he’d rather leave for a bit more rather than stay and kick on with the club he’s been at since he was a kid.
{Ed002's Note - It is not a bit more money he wants.}
15 Apr 2024 22:24:11
Agreed, that was a great performance that was needed after a couple of shaky teams against the sides as good as down. I really don’t understand what happened with the penalty and what worries me is this isn’t the first time this has happened, Madueke has tried to take one off Palmer at least once before this. How has Poch not made it absolutely clear that Palmer is the penalty taker?
24 Jan 2024 00:22:03
Wow didn’t realise we were quite that clinical. Agreed, amazing what happens when we play a full back at full back rather than a centre back. That being said, Disasi did well and his goal was great.
12 Nov 2023 19:41:08
Agreed, thought we were really good tonight. Could call out individual performances all over the pitch. Fans were great too, this was the loudest I’ve heard the MHL all season even when we were losing. Important thing is to build on this now though.
30 Oct 2023 12:48:06
It’s not that unusual tbh, I’ve had a few occasions this season when there’s been empty seats around me. One game there were 4 or 5 in a row in front of me empty.
31 Aug 2023 00:21:08
No worries mate, not the best performance but a lot of players rested and got the win so can’t really complain.
