Looks like j pedro signing done. just no idea what the strategy is here unless jackson is leaving? he's not better thsn jackson or delap . dodgy injury record and discipline issues. another baffling signing at a time where we shouldve been looking to improve the team.
1.) 29 Jun 2025 19:49:34
I haven’t seen that confirmed but I see him as a replacement for Nkunku not Jackson. Time will tell.
2.) 29 Jun 2025 20:30:39
I guess it all depends on how Jackson sees it Tom.
3.) 29 Jun 2025 20:57:07
Im guessing hel replace both felix and NKunku in the squad and will probably rotate with gittens off the left >I think he will surprise any fan whos scratching his head.
4.) 29 Jun 2025 21:03:06
Bill, as far as I’m concerned if a player isn’t prepared to fight for his place then he can leave anytime he likes.
As I’ve said in a previous post I will wait and see him play in Chelsea Blue before I make my judgement.
I agree Poch, I think he is a replacement for Nkunku and Felix I think will end up at Benfica on loan.
5.) 30 Jun 2025 09:06:07
Totally agree Tom, if a player is frightened of competition then let him go.
There is talk about Pedro's injury record. However, I seem to remember Neto had the same issue and that turned out just fine for us.
6.) 03 Jul 2025 19:35:40
He’s just another option and a bit of a different one. Sometimes you’ll want Delap’s strength and ball carrying, others you’ll want Jackson’s ability both to link and to stretch play, then you might want Pedro dropping in and playing the ball through. It’s all about options for different problems.
7.) 05 Jul 2025 22:09:27
FD77, good description of the different options that we need.

Not sure if anyone follows the academy or is interested in the slightest…we seem to habe imported a full roster of kinetic academy coaches (joe shields links) - lastest being dan hogan as u18s coach…instead of hass sulaiman- who seems to have been demoted to being part of looking after the loan group…
he's been a coach at the club for 18 years and by all sccounts does a great job. Overlookrd so a kinetic coach can take the role…
Not saying its rotten but it doesn't half stink….
1.) 09 Jan 2026 21:49:03
Is it an upgrade?
2.) 09 Jan 2026 23:05:36
No definitely not tom- Hassan has done excellent work, seems to be something sketchy going on with kinetic.
3.) 10 Jan 2026 09:02:21
I’m sure he has done excellent work, otherwise I assume he wouldn’t be at the club but is the alternative better? Or, are you pre-judging the situation for some reason. I have a biased opinion on most things but I do like to occasionally give change a chance.
I’m not sure what “sketchy” is in this instance. My guess is, we have to wait and see if it’s better or worse.
4.) 10 Jan 2026 10:26:10
It disentangle really matter, the players will be sold for profit.
5.) 10 Jan 2026 10:44:37
When and if a player is sold I hope it’s always for profit.
Will be interesting with such a young team to see if any of our academy players take on the challenge of breaking into our first team squad. We will, as always lose some talented players.
6.) 10 Jan 2026 10:47:41
If it fits an "agenda" and that is what you believe then fine.
7.) 10 Jan 2026 13:24:39
Whats sketchy is suddenly a bunch of coaches connected to joe shields get jobs…. and no the guy replacing hassan is nowhere near as qualified and has been at the club a couple of months.
8.) 10 Jan 2026 16:27:41
Of course it could just be he has impressed the people who make these decisions.
I also assume he was “qualified” before joining club? Not everything is a conspiracy.
9.) 10 Jan 2026 17:19:12
Hassan has been u18 coach since 2023 and Harry hudson was part of macfarlane u21 coaching staff and has stepped up since macfarlane has been asked to join the first team.
This is why I find this place frustrating. I had to come back to reply to this.
Stop spreading absolute rubbish. This is all on the clubs website for you to read. Unless you think the club are hiding something. Then you are the reason I don't want to be part of this community.
I suggest if you are actually from England (which i believe some arnt) you go watch our amazing youth teams.
10.) 10 Jan 2026 17:37:43
CFB, thanks so much for the clarification. As I said before I hope you don’t leave the site permanently.
11.) 10 Jan 2026 18:18:37
Chelsea forever blue- the story Dan hogan is replacing Hassan as 18s coach, harry hudson was not mentioned by me and again he was the 18s assistant coach not 21s. atleast read the posts before going on the attack mate come on.
12.) 10 Jan 2026 23:55:44
There doesn’t seem to be a conspiracy to me. It just seems like a normal re-shuffle.
01 Jan 2026 16:16:23
there'll be a lot on the manager now, on whos next etc.
but needs to be so much more focus further up. what on earth do our SDs do? we have spent 2billion under this ownership and our squad is terrible overall so unbalanced - lacking any real quality in attack bar palmer. Cbs a mess, keeper bang average and midfielders not really impressive other than caicedo.
where has all the money gone? what's the plan? someone like gittens a prime example- he looks championship level yet we've spent 50m on him to replace mudryk who was even worse.
now incredibly worried about the state of the club going forward. where has the drive to win gone? does no one care about inning? sick of hearing about young players, projects and resaler value. how about the club focus on one word. WIN.
1.) 01 Jan 2026 17:20:57
I agree about winning being the focus. I do not agree about our players. I think most managers would welcome the chance to be in playing control of our squad.
2.) 01 Jan 2026 17:51:37
Agree TOM we have a good squad that will perform for a good few years winning should be the priority.
3.) 01 Jan 2026 17:58:15
I do agree that the SD's do and have been deserving of criticism and a real look at. I disagree on the notion there goal is just to make money on player sales though. If that is there goal they've done horrifically so far. I think there's only 2-3 players we'd make a profit on though im probably being slightly harsh.
4.) 01 Jan 2026 18:01:57
Pull the other one tom …which players we have a squad full of ‘he might be decent in a few years’ where are the solid players now? We have maybe 5/6 players ready for top level and the rest nowhere near… just one massive waste of money and its embarrassing to even try and defend it …the club has not learnt its lesson and will continue making the same mistakes it looks like.
5.) 01 Jan 2026 18:58:57
Kazblue, I’m not sure what’s embarrassing if I’m happy enough with the majority of our squad.
I would sell, Tosin and Badiashile for another centre half. I would buy Anderson from Forest but that’s just because I rate him highly and I would also take a keeper but only Costa. My number one choice as a CF last summer was Sesko and I can’t say I’ve seen any outstanding CF I would sign so far this season.
6.) 01 Jan 2026 20:56:11
Its embarrassing to be happy with mediocrity when youve spent like we have…. We have done a terrible job of transfers . maybe the worst ever and yet the SDs are cushy in their jobs … dunno what you expect by throwing in inexperienced managers repeatedly with a squad more imbalanced than my vertigo suffering gran
You think the likes of palmer caicedo estavao will stay at this circus forwver?
7.) 01 Jan 2026 21:34:44
Kazblue, you are obviously entitled to your opinion but so am I. My opinion is not more or less embarrassing than your opinion of our players and club.
8.) 01 Jan 2026 22:23:19
Your opinion is embarrassing Tom… you don't have to defend everything the club does.
9.) 02 Jan 2026 04:51:41
Kazblue, I will be critical when i think it’s deserved and give praise when I think it’s deserved not just because other posters want me to agree with their opinions.
I repeat, calling other peoples opinions embarrassing is in itself embarrassing.
10.) 02 Jan 2026 10:18:27
I have to say that i agree with Tom, we have a number of players that will get much better but it depends if the club allows them to do so.
11.) 02 Jan 2026 13:32:01
Not really Tom- you parrot the club lines and defend the ownership at every opportunity- despite them absolutely destroying the club so far- awful on and off the field and with a clear aim of fleecing rhe club…no idea why you're so defensive of the ownership.
12.) 02 Jan 2026 14:06:57
Your use of phrases such as embarrassing and absolutely and fleecing are your opinion. I wi respect your opinions.
I will try to make my opinions objective in the context of negative or positive and when I don’t know the facts I will usually mention that I am guessing.
01 Jan 2026 12:39:35
So maresca gone…never his biggest fan but he's been well and truly done in by yhe club here …really worried about the seeming grip our SDs have on the club…theyve been disasterous so far and can only see the cycle repeating itself again going forward.
1.) 01 Jan 2026 13:50:56
He’s been done by his style of play stupid substitutions, playing players out of position giving players who aren’t good enough loads of playing time and the main one not winning games.
2.) 01 Jan 2026 14:25:58
Kazblue, entirely agree with you. I am very worried about the next appointment.
3.) 01 Jan 2026 15:07:10
Agree 100 nib.
4.) 01 Jan 2026 15:07:35
Problem is nib we have a lot of crap players …none of who he picked…why not make joe shields manager he seems to but his nose in anyway maybe eghbali can be assistant.
29 Aug 2025 14:51:50
Buonanotte ????? . some
Shocking business at the back end of this window. completely undone all the good work to begin with. glad our SDs got extentions cos theyd struggle getting a job elsewhere. absolutely clueless.
1.) 29 Aug 2025 15:06:20
It’s impossible for the manager or the SD’s to make us all happy.
I can’t say I have noticed this lad playing for Brighton or Leicester.
2.) 29 Aug 2025 16:07:06
Who is Buonanotte and why do we need him. I did say the SDs would revert to type and screw things up in the last week of the window.
3.) 29 Aug 2025 17:03:28
I just cannot understand why we are loaning him, not even an option, just does not make any sense at all.
4.) 29 Aug 2025 17:05:14
Jimbo I too don't know who Buonanotte is also having not seen him play so I have no idea if we need him or not.
Think the SD's have had a good window apart from Garnacho but as with everything time will tell.
5.) 29 Aug 2025 17:28:29
What an extraordinary move to get this player on loan having pulled out of Simons deal. Does this mean we won't be poursuing either Lopez or Rogers ie someone who might seem to be a genuine possible contender for much first team action? Surely keep Desbury -Hall if not getting someone demonstrably better?
Anyway has anyone - perhaps you Ed001 - watched him play or even noticed him befor now? Quick online scan frevealshe has played some games for Brighton and not scored many goals and made 2 appearances for Argentina (no goals) and three for Argentina under 20s (One goal) . described as a winger in some places and attacking midfielder in others. Yet another winger?! No CN or GK and no attacking left sided midfielder of proven quality? Well he will have Garnacho and Enzo F as fellow Argentinians at CFC but what do people think is going on here?
{Ed001's Note - he was on loan at Leicester last season, struggled to get in their team.}
6.) 29 Aug 2025 17:49:28
I couldn’t be bothered watching much football played last season by teams at the bottom end of the table and that included the likes of Utd and the spuds unless they were playing us of course. I don’t remember him playing for Brighton the season before and I assume he played against us as he seemed to play a lot of games that season.
Do we have an option?
7.) 29 Aug 2025 18:06:56
JBS, from what I understand we never actually made an offer for Simons but I would have preferred him to Garnacho ( or frankly anyone ) . Buonanotte made 13 appearances for Leicester ( no doubt some as sub) which just about sums it up. I wonder whose idea that was? I thought our transfer window was a 7 out of 10 obviously gone down now.
8.) 29 Aug 2025 18:18:15
Straight loan Tom which makes this one even more ricidilous.
Lost the plot springs to mind.
9.) 29 Aug 2025 19:28:39
Thanks Ed001 and Jimbo for your info. makes this loan deal ever stranger though as with all incoming will hope he can make some positive contributions!
10.) 29 Aug 2025 20:59:18
I’m not sure whose reports are accurate. One of the earlier reports said Brighton would only allow a straight loan. That would make me think we wanted to buy him or at least a loan with an obligation.
11.) 30 Aug 2025 05:35:06
According to one site FB played about 35 games for Leicester last season and a similar amount of games for Brighton the season before. Given the comments above I assume that a lot of those appearances were as a substitute.
I will be seeing a bloke next week who is a Chelsea supporter but as he lives in Brighton and goes to some of there games he can give me his view on the lads ability.
The structure of the loan deal might also prove to be interesting.
28 Aug 2025 14:43:22
so we near the end of a strange window- some decent signings ( pedro, delap, hato)
a couple of baffling ones (gittens, possibly garnacho)
some decent sales but with likes of chillwell and sterling still hanging around
NO NEW KEEPER- which is criminal for me as well as not really addressing the clear issues at CB with colwill out for the season and fofana likely to join him at any moment.
i just struggle to see the strategy- we are a decent keeper and experienced CB away from being serious contenders yet seem to be hellbent on chasing garnacho based on goodness knows what.
1.) 28 Aug 2025 14:58:19
Could not agree more Kazblue.
28 Jan 2026 10:44:46
No it doesn't tom… it shows ges a young player with potential and a handful of games in the french league…. long way to go before he can be considered a ‘good player’.
19 Jan 2026 14:29:01
The problem is how do we know that tom… sarr and anselmino have done well by all sccounts and you can see there's a top class player potentiallt in josh …. Just feels like money that couldve been better spent.
18 Jan 2026 23:04:15
he might become the cats whiskers- issue is we already have 3 that 'might' become good- how about looking at someone whos played a bit before.
18 Jan 2026 18:04:24
Jacquet is rated highly. but my argument would be so are anselmino, sarr and josh and the forgotten colwill whos still only 22
surely a better idea might be a bit more experience to balance it out?
01 Jan 2026 13:42:49
Can i ask what it is the sporting directors do well greenaway?
23 Jan 2026 17:13:01
i can tell you the answers Tom don't worry.
Colwill - ahead of schedule, recovering really well we might see him before end of season
Lavia- we don't know what's wrong with him and we have even less idea when he returns- he, ll play 45 mins in a. couple months time as a nice surprise, play really well and then mysterious vanish again
and finally
essugo- Whos that?!
22 Jan 2026 17:25:16
used to be a poster on here back in the day called pinky. greenaway reminds me of them. its all fun and games, would advise anyone to not take comments on here too seriously.
19 Jan 2026 17:14:40
greenaway- my original name was Bluekaz98 - again i was here far before king frank too, - long before we even had log ins, have seen this site change over the years yet always a prat or 2 remain.
19 Jan 2026 14:27:14
Greenaway …. i ve been on this page almost 10 years pal long before you tom and standard begun posting.
Tom is a great poster and i know he has no ill intent in him…but sometimes its best to let someone defend themselves … as others and you yourself have said …cfbs post wasnt great and he deserved calling out on it.
18 Jan 2026 22:25:02
Well frankly tom in this case your opinion and takeaway is not relevant and i think should be kept to yourself in this case.
Let cfb defend himself if he wants- certainly doesn't need you to stick up for him with more gibberish….
