Good deal for Man United I think. Scored a worldie against us but he's a shite Ronaldo wannabe really. They're better off with him out of the club.

I follow quite a bit of local non league. Because of league moves and travelling etc, there's a big turnover of players some summers. Chelsea seem to be the professional equivalent of this. Their fans must come back in August and have to learn all the new squad numbers again. The fact they do it while handing out the longest contracts in the game makes it even more remarkable.

Will be fascinating to see if Maresca gets him to perform or if he’s back in the exact same position within a year.

He doesn’t give me the feeling that anyone can fix him given how hard he’s bought his own hype.

What the fuck?

Buonanotte on loan to Chelsea from Brighton?

Maybe we can still get Delap before Monday…

Arteta going down the full Pep route, just a defence full of centre backs

WTAF?
Thought he had Leeds written all over him. What the heck does Chelsea need him for?

35 games - 5 goals, 2 assists, 8 yellow cards.
More cards than G&As. Er, committed, combative midfielder?

It's a people trafficking operation at this point, to make the accounts work for them.

It's staggering that they are allowed to do this stuff while clubs like Villa can't spend anymore, even though they have lots of money.

Prem's an absolute scam.

Looks like Delap's hamstring might have just gone.

Xavi Simons to Spurs is an interesting one. Think he'll do great in the PL.

Wow. Jackson loan deal seems to have been pulled last minute from Chelsea as Delap is out for 8 weeks or something.

Jackson refusing to get on the plane home apparently and his agent tweeting that “planes don’t go backwards”

It was always going to happen, club basically don't see you in their plans and let you go elsewhere, then pull the rug on the move and expect you to come back and give your all.

He's contacted to Chelsea though so unless it's all signed and sealed I don't see what he can do.
