Boehly really forced the players to finish 12th so that the UEFA 5 year contract rule didn't apply to Chelsea anymore.
If there is a loophole, this guy is going to find it ๐
Thrilled to be at Stamford Bridge today in front of the amazing Chelsea fans, thank you all for the warm reception and I canโt wait to get started. ๐๐๐ผ

Chelsea getting Mohammed Kudus for ยฃ40m and selling Connor Gallagher for ยฃ47m-ยฃ50m has got to be some of the best business I have seen in this window ๐ Chelsea's recruitment is unmatched you can't deny it
Mudryk has joined Ukraineโs under 21 squad in Bucharest, they play against Croatia later today.
Wishing him all the best in the tournament ๐บ๐ฆ๐ต
Understand Chelsea have reached full verbal agreement with Saudiโs Al Ahli to sell Edouard Mendy. ๐จโช๏ธ๐ข๐ธ๐ฆ
#CFC
Mendy agreed personal terms with Al Ahli on three year deal, as revealed last week.
Contracts to be checked, then signed if all goes to plan.
Here we go ๐ธ๐ณ
Mudryk ends the U21Euros with 3assists from 2 games helping his country to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. ๐ซ๐ท๐บ๐ฆ
Next up, Cobham. ๐ต
Nicolas Jackson has been sensational, this is exactly the striker we have needed for so long! Hold up play and his work rate has been excellent!
Great start to life in the Premier League, that goal will come soon ๐ฅ
It was at this very moment I realised weโve signed an absolute demon, imagine stepping onto the Etihad pitch with this level of confidence at 21?
Cold ๐ฅถ๐
"I woke up this morning and remembered"
Net spend since 2012-13:
Chelsea ยฃ1.1B
Arsenal ยฃ1B
Chelsea - 9 major trophies (Champions League, Europa League x2, Premier League, Super Cup, Club World Cup, FA Cup, Carabao Cup)
Arsenal - 4 FA Cups
Woke up this morning and remembered the cost of these signings
Enzo - ยฃ105M
Caicedo - ยฃ115M
Lavia - ยฃ55M
Wesley Fofana - ยฃ88M
Cucurella - ยฃ62M
Mudryk - ยฃ95M
Antony - ยฃ80M
This sport is actually finished.
Eden Hazard is the ONLY player to ever feature in UEFA Team Of the Year without playing in any of the European competitions that season.
He did it in 2016/17.
Liverpool prepared the documents to report Chelsea to the Premier League for the ยฃ1B in transfer fees as they believe it does not comply with the PL rules.
They now have to redo the paperwork to add in ยฃ60m for Romeo Lavia ๐
Fofana - long term injury
Nkunku - long term injury
Badiashile - long term injury (back soon)
James - potentially long term injury
Noni - back from long term injury and injured again (now back)
If this continues at Chelsea we could have a serious problem. Most of theseโฆ
With Nkunku's injury we could see Maatsen feature in an attacking role for Chelsea against Liverpool. Can't think of anyone that deserves it more, been excellent throughout preseason.
Real Madrid signed an 18 year old from TURKISH league and none of their fans is crying for the team to loan him but you have chelsea fans on their knees for Angelo to be loaned for no reason.
Havenโt we learned anything from Gilmourโs loan?
I don't care what anyone says but if the offer gets accepted and he completes his medical today, Moises Caceido must start against Liverpool on Sunday.
I want to see a war at Stamford Bridge.
What Pochettino has done with Mudryk has really impressed me.
He didn't just throw him in the deep end, he took his time and now he is slowly building up his confidence.
Long way to go but you can already see the improvement.
