Being reported that Roma wanted to take Gittens to Serie A on loan, and we have knocked them back saying he will be staying with our 1st team squad this season.

Wait until we play Millwall away. See what he says then.

Would it leave us short? Depends who we buy, but I think it's unlikely. Neto is only 5 foot 8.

It's a parody account with a prediction that we all hope comes true.

Two games in and the bug-eyed dwarf has lost the dressing room.

Can't stand the f**kin dwarf. And why can't him and Maresca have a shave?

Is Maresca worse than De Zerbi or is De Zerbi worse than Maresca?

It's been a long, long wait for us to have a goalie that is barking mad again. RIP Petar The Great and John Neal

Based on how he played last night Dan, I can't agree with your view on Barco. One example of his tackling in the second half, he gave one of his very few sloppy passes to an opponent in the middle of the pitch but then ran over and won it straight back. He has a low centre of gravity and looks more athletic than Fernandez. And some of his passing was sublime. Gave him time and who knows, maybe he could develop into our very own Vitinha.

Thanks for this. A really good insight into how Martinez is still performing. In return, I'd like to apologise on behalf of everyone here for selling you Jackson and Garnacho. We are delighted Villa have taken them off our hands!

Tremendous game from Pendo. Looked solid as a rock.

Unlucky Gittens. Great run.

For all our foreign friends on here that have never been lucky enough to have visited Luton to enjoy the charm and ambiance of this picturesque town here are some photos of it's best bits.

Now there is the perfect example of a goal Jackson wouldn't have got.

You can also get 25/1 on Villa. A few weeks ago they were 50/1 but then they signed Garnacho and Jackson and the bookies odds have tumbled.

I think you could be right on this. Two years ago I would have taken Martinez in a heartbeat, but now I'm not so sure. That said, we cannot continue with Sanchez. Hopefully Pendo shows us what he can do tonight.

He looks happy. But I imagine not as happy as @nonotnowjim

Love Emery, but Garnacho and Jackson? Villa are going down. Login to your online bookie account and lump on now to make some money for yourselves.

Nibsy, I'm sure all us old boys would love us to have a Micky Hazard type player. He had a little bit of everything. But hopefully it will be a Micky Hazard type player who can last more than 60 minutes in a game, and doesn't love Tottenham.

Can I sit at this table? Tend to agree based on what I have seen so far. He's OK but doesn't particularly standout as anything super special.

You forgot £65 million for Jackson.

His name will forever be remembered by us Chelsea fans. Thanks Omani for all you did for us.

Metro are reporting that we have had 3 bids for Scott ruled out and we are now interested in trying to get Camavinga in from Real Madrid. https://metro.co.uk/2026/08/25/chelsea-make-approach-sign-real-madrid-star-68m-bid-rejected-29453022/

Agreed. The best central midfielder I saw in the EPL this weekend by a country mile was Sangare the new signing at Brentford.
