On 25 July 2012, Chelsea announced the signing of Oscar. 💫

🚨 Gittens on Chelsea getting rid of Garnacho and whether that was on his mind:

“I just look at myself. I don’t look at anyone else. I just focus on myself and try to be better for myself.”

“ want to succeed here. I need to show people what I can do. I will keep working hard. I have shown glimpses, small bits. But this season will be a good season.”

🚨 Gittens on Alonso:

“Does he have an aura? Yeah, a bit because he was a top player back in the day and now a top coach. But he’s a very nice guy, he talks to us individually on what we can work on, as a player that’s all you want”

“He told me “keep being positive, taking on players, creating chances and pushing myself to the maximum”.

(SJohnsonSport)

🚨 Gittens: “We want to win everything - that is our ambition; to win the Premier League, the FA Cup and win anything that we're in.

“Bringing in a player like Morgan will hopefully raise the bar to win titles”

“I feel 92% fitness wise, In these pre-season games I will keep going, keep pushing myself, put more minutes in my legs." (BobbyVincentFL)

Looks like Gittens might be staying this season. This is his season to determine his Chelsea future. His seen Garnacho leave after one season, he needs to make sure that doesn’t happen to him

Big season coming up for Gittens

So Chelsea want Danny Welbeck. Do you know what I don’t hate this at all. As a rotation option, off the bench he could be a smart signing

Would need to sell some of our strikers first tho

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea not currently looking to sell Emegha. Jackson, Delap and Guiu are the strikers under consideration for exits. (JacobsBen)

Thoughts ?

🚨 “It’s sensed to me that ultimately the price for Scott is more than Utd would be willing to pay, now we need to mention that Bournemouth’s position is he’s simply not for sale, but if he does go somewhere, it feels like Chelsea would be the likeliest destination” (lauriewhitwell TheAthleticFC, Talk Of The Devils Podcast)

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Chelsea lead race to sign Jordan Henderson. (FabrizioRomano)

I’d rather Xabi Alonso dust off his boots and play for Chelsea instead of signing Henderson.

🚨 Chelsea ADVANCE on Henderson and Welbeck. Personal terms nearly done with both players. Experienced leaders coming to Chelsea soon. (FabrizioRomano)

Seems Xavi wants a bit of experience in the team.

First Xhaka- couldn’t proceed cus Sunderland doesn’t want to sell

Then ,Stones- but he’s off to inter

Now Welbeck and Henderson …

What are your thoughts?

First pre-season minutes in the tank for the Blues. ✔️
