Can we get a restraining order for Chelsea 
It’s changed a lot over the last 15-20 years as well. Go back 20 years and it was more focused on parties and music…..now it’s becoming like Las Vegas-on-sea with clubs like Ushuaia and Hi, EDM goons and confetti-cannons. DC10 used to be a ramshackle Monday morning carry-on playing some excellent deep house and minimal techno back in day, it’s a far cry from this today.Yep, having lived in Ibiza during the late sixties and early seventies when it was a hippie paradise I find it very sad to see the change. It was a magical island and now it’s a rich fuckers playground
I have Ibicenco friends who avoid any of the “hot spots” and have nothing to do with tourists and are not at all happy with what their beautiful island has become.

Obviously Chelsea are the ****s in this. But I worry that us not getting deals over the line has recently become a bit of pattern. KDH twice now (maybe), Kudus, and we fluttered our eyes at Colwill for ages and then ended up with the far inferior Igor. Not necessarily anyone’s fault our side, but the need to do these deals on the quiet, a la Pedro seems bigger than ever.

Unfortunately we knew this was coming when we started getting really good. Pedro's agent fooked up tbh. Impossible for us to do a deal on the quiet now. Will need a couple of seasons back near the rele zone for teams to leave us alone.

Romano knows it pays to make Chelsea look good.
To sell a story which repeats the legendary nabbing of Willian, whilst he was undergoing his Tottenham medical, will ingratiate him with Chelsea, regardless of facts.

‘He only wants Chelsea’ bollocks. So if Real Madrid make an offer he says’ No, you are ok, it’s my dream to play for Chelsea’.
We’ll have other targets.

Which is probably why it won't happen
As much as I despise Chelsea (more than Palace to be honest) we really cannot moan about them sticking their ore into targets, these are good players and managers that we are clashing over, we must not get too precious over it and rather take it as a massive compliment on several levels.
1: We are even competing to sign players and managers of this standard, no history lesson needed.
2: We have ourselves recently plucked a promising young manager from a newly promoted team looking forward to an exciting season in the top tier of German football while their once all conquering rivals languish in the division below, real hope stumped before the season kicks off, We plucked numerous young starlets from here and all around the world, it happens and we are part of it. We can't grumble when we are eating at the top table and moaning because Chelsea ate more Almas caviar than anyone else.
Having said that, they are chavy tw@ts and their eyes are always bigger than their belly.

Going to be genuinely upset if this deal does not go through.
one because i think he is a terrific player and ideal for us and secondly because we tried in Jan and have long standing interest.
So we would not be going back if we didnt think we had a good shot at it.
Thirdly because KDH will just be a bench warmer largely at Chelsea, I know money talks but they are not in Europe etc

Chelsea trying to sign a soon-to-be-26-year-old midfielder who only 18 months ago was bang average in the PL (where he hasn't played since) really doesn't look all that good.
KDH would probably be a good player for us. Why Chelsea would want him when their alleged ambition is to compete for the biggest titles... I don't know. Guess its because of Maresca, but why did they spend time and effort on building up recruitment and scouting just to let their new manager sign players from his old Championship team?
He is a decent player but if Chelsea want him we should just move on. He's not worth the fight. Plenty of other good midfielders to go for.

Living in a De Zerbi wonderland
We spend months working on a deal, building relationships with the selling club, the players agent, even the player themselves, and just before we complete the deal Chelsea wander up, unannounced and wave a load of cash in front of him and all that work goes out the window.

I know it’s only Conference League but they are?
Pretty sure that's why they claimed they got rid of Poch - because he wanted a say in signings - and got in Maresca, because he didn't and was happy to work with what they have / who he's given. Plus KDH is over their self imposed age limit. Nothing they do makes any sense.

Even more so as Chelsea's squad is already bloated in the midfield department. If it were any other club, I'd say that the reports of interest are a load of bollocks initiated by the agent to get the max pay offer from BHA. However, it's Chelsea - the club that paid 25m for our 3rd choice keeper who wanted out - and their recruitment policy in general is hat-stand mental, so it's probably true.
