Apparently Jorginho is extending by exactly one year, no +1 clause. Smart from the club’s perspective.

No +1? So we’re back here next year ffs lol

I assume it’s cheaper for us to do it this way tbf.

I’m sure it’s more because then the club is exposed to less risk in the case of Jorgi getting injured or similar. And inshallah we don’t need Jorginho on the field for us after next season :E

Well earned! I was sceptical and worried about him joining us, along with Havertz after Willian’s tumultuous time here.

But, just comes to show how little I know and how much of a shambles Chelsea are in. Always glad to be proved wrong in my assumptions and the amount they’ve both contributed can’t be understated

Tbh I’m surprised how well it worked out. Expected him to be a solid backup and not much more even though I knew there was potential for more given he wasn’t far off a Ballon D’or not long ago, but he’s definitely surprised me.

That Sobha money must be good. Because their sponsorship is hella prominent.

Glad to see this. I’m not sure what he can offer on the pitch to us next season, but it will be more than the legend that is Elneny. Hopefully both end up as full-time coaches for us.

Apparently it’s 10M? football.london/…/stan-kroenke-set-10m-windfall-2…

That doesn’t seem like very much. But I suppose every pound counts.

£10m a year isn’t bad to be fair. But given that I see Sobha just as much as I see Fly Emirates, I expected much more.

It’s not nothing, but I definitely expected something in the realm of 25 given how prominently it was being splashed around. Also, I’m still a little disappointed that we aren’t in the S tier of commercial brands in football clubs. I still can’t believe United got Teamviewer to almost bankrupt themselves…

Maybe we get an extra Dubai trip every year on their dime? That alone might be worth it.

Your thoughts echo mine pretty much exactly
