Squad17 Jul 2034

A fracture rules Mark Ross out for 62 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Chelsea will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market17 Jul 2034

Landon Emenalo hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Chelsea can pretend not to have heard.

Squad17 Jul 2034

Cole Palmer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Chelsea this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market17 Jul 2034

Chelsea say no — this time

The offer from Reading for James Kelly was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Jul 2034

Moisés Caicedo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Charlie Holland has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Chelsea they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad3 Jul 2034

Emanuel Emegha: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Chelsea have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom3 Jul 2034

Chelsea spell it out for Luciano Donadoni

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Luciano Donadoni has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

A fracture rules Mark Ross out for 76 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Chelsea will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom3 Jul 2034

Crisis meeting at Chelsea

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Market3 Jul 2034

Wilson Odobert wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Chelsea hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad3 Jul 2034

Emiliano Martínez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Emiliano Martínez and Chelsea agree another 2 years.

Cole Palmer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Chelsea this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jack James asks to leave Chelsea

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market3 Jul 2034

Chelsea say no — this time

The offer from Fleetwood Town for Christopher Brown was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

In brief

  • Market Mark Ross is on his way
  • Boardroom Chelsea sign 11 boys into the academy
  • Boardroom Chelsea were not finished after all
