On a side note, I had no idea he had a child. Hopefully Enzo has a positive impact on him.

I think we need to now cut him some slack. He’s going to wear the Chelsea blue and requires our support. Clearly many behind the scenes rate him very highly. He is still barely 21 , very much a player in development, who could suddenly explode onto the scene. It’s a gamble we’ve taken…at worst we’ll drop 10m on the deal but if he does fulfill his youth potential who knows?

Exactly. He wanted to come to Chelsea too, which is something. I'd rather players who actually want to come to the club. My only concern is the supposed attitude issues, depending on how bad they really are.

He’s a kid, some have attitudes. Point him in the right direction with a clean slate and see where it takes us.

What happened to the ‘we won’t pay more than £30 million’?

The bluff didn't work, just like it didn't work with Jackson. United are absolute sh*te in the market too, so it's a bit embarrassing coughing up an extra 10m and a future sell on fee to them.

Does he want to join us to push his career on and win trophies, or is he joining us just to spite United?

He has a super high ceiling, welcome to your new home king! Let’s hope he now has the clear path and can fulfill his talent (now that he has left that swamp)!

Lets roll it back.

His age. Number of appearances. For a relatively minor fee. Premier league experience. Played in front of greater pressure. With Enzo F as someone who will tell him in no uncertain terms to buck his f**king ideas up.

He could he a great signing.

And if he is. Oh how f**king sweet will that be to hold over United.

And if he isn't. Well...we can sell him to Italy for 20m and not lose that much

Who tells Enzo F to buck his ideas up?

No idea really. From what I read he turned down clubs in Italy and maybe elsewhere to come to Chelsea. I'm sure if a Real Madrid or Barca came in for him he would have gone to them, but he seemed to only want Chelsea. The positive is maybe Enzo Fernandez can help him out and guide him.

Like I said he’s going to have to win me over with his performances on the pitch.

A video of him laughing while watching Man Utds performance against Grimsby would possibly sway me or at least push me in the right direction.

Finally Garnacho completing his much anticipated move, he can now fulfill his true potential! Out of the Old Trafford swamp and into the World Champions squad! Welcome home to the lifelong Chelsea fan in him. I’m excited to see how he does for us 💙

To combine both your first and last point, even if Garnacho does not improve and maintains his current output of 10 g/a in the league this is still equal and actually better in some cases than the wingers we currently have and had previously. We've paid £60m for wingers that aren't much better.

Once again, United had multiple interests they were just holding out for a bigger fee and the ones that did bid Garnacho just turned down.

My only worry is the wages, given that he only wants us and has backed himself into a corner then we should be able to give him less wages than Bayern or Napoli would have had to. I'll be disappointed if I see the club giving him 100k, we can easily get him tied down to around the same wages Gittens is on like 80-90k. Having him below 100k will be important for being able to resell him if he does flop.

The Tottenham & Bayern links were most likely engineered by his agent, we didn’t call their bluff and spunked 40 big ones. The fact they were paying Fabrizio Romano to post non-stop slop tells you all you need to know. It’s all been a marketing exercise.

His wages WILL increase significantly, there’s no question about that really, he’s not some sort of good samaritan, making the whole ‘selling him on’ angle more challenging, and as mentioned time and time again, we won’t be able to send him over to Saudi, as he’ll refuse.

Napoli were interested when PSG took Kvara from them, but the owner came out and said he wanted to be the highest paid player at the club, a side that contains £150k pw Lukaku.

Ahhhhhhh yes, Enzo Fernandez, the guy that abandoned his wife, f**ked around, then decided to come back to her. Enzo Fernandez, our weakest link in any given starting 11, who sings racists songs on buses, we are talking about the fat guy right, or the bald one?

I like him 🙂

Tenacious with talent but finishing reminds me a bit of Jackson...

Definitely an improvement on Muddy, good competition for Gittens.

Another lottery ticket

Edited August 29, 2025Aug 29 by Bob stark

Garnacho is 21 and he has pretty good talent and the number support it.

So ge kinda fit blue co model. Now on the lw we have 2/3 ticket. George, Garnacho, gittens.

Welcome Alejandro and good luck.👍

"his agents, Carlos Cambeiro and Quique de Lucas, at Stamford Bridge in late January."

See where Nacho gets his dodgy bonnet from if De Lucas is his agent.

Comes with low expectations and nobody seems to rate him here, including myself, but for some reason, I think he will be a hit here. How he will do this, who knows?! I just feel his dirty attitude and his directness, coupler with thr environment here suits him.

Maybe, maybe not. Could easily say how he’s been displayed in media is also a marketing ploy from United side.

We have all the advantages we could possibly want, if he does get wages above 100k then it’s a poor job by the people in charge.

f**k! £40m + sell-on clause for a player that has shown f**k all and manure wanted rid off? Are this board and SDs stupid? They've been ripped off by their mates the Glazers.

Oh my God, he's got a childhood photo in a Chelsea kit! Just like a gazillion of other kids over the last twenty years or so. Well, that has certainly won me over. Sign him immediatelly and let's forget that he's a bum who turns up every five-six matches at best, has a massive ego and a toxic attitude.

If you want to know how good/bad your signing is, check out what rival fans say on that. Nobody's impressed with it and quite a few are having a laugh at our expense.

So he’s another one who was a Chelsea fan 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder how many of these kids playing across Europe are Chelsea fans? We seem to have a lot of kids that were Chelsea fans now playing top level football or someone is making sh*t up 🤣🤣.

Either way let’s not go down the Cucu or Jorginho route of booing our players whether you like the player or not support them and the team.

Pretty sure nowadays every kid in an academy gets photos shot of them wearing shirts of all the big clubs ready incase they eventually do sign for them in the future. He probably had one of Man Utd back when he signed for them.

Anyway most football fans have at one point had shirts from clubs they don't support. Hell I had Juve, Barca, Inter, AC Milan, and even a bloody Germany shirt at one point.

Garnacho is in full Chelsea kit. Thats the 17/18 training kit I believe. Not just a shirt, he is out in public full kit 😂
