At this point I think of Piazon as a PL jet-setter: He’s never at home and has been everywhere.


But who doesn’t want to go back to that spot where they’re loved?

This is the first time he will be at the same club for 2 seasons, and he’s happy about it:

“There is a certain feeling of unfinished business. It felt like I must come back and help the team to reach what we were chasing last year, so it will be a very exciting season. ”
-Piazon

So, after signing his new two-year contract at Chelsea he’s back to Fulham.

It seems Pep enjoyed having a Brazilian because he just called up another one (and keeps a scout based in Rio, good for him)

Douglas Luiz had been playing for Vasco da Gama since 2013, in the U-15 squad. He was one of the best players in the squad this past season and was even called by Brazil for the South American Under-20 Championship.

Of course his spot in the first team is not guaranteed just because he seems to be rapidly rising. In fact, rumor has it he’ll be loaned to Girona to get some experience first.
Coming from Vasco he should know how to deal with a team just coming to the 1st tier league…

Ok, this pic pissed some people off at Wales:

The boy Harries was brought up at the Sky Blues Academy, and is expected to arrive at Swansea to play with the U-23 side.

Fans are torn between being sad to see him go for a reported “small-fee” without being given a chance and just accepting that Cian Harries moving was just a matter of time and at least it was good business.

I’m sorry, but a rumored 500k fee is almost a free transfer. I’d be mad no matter what.

All sorts of gossip surround this transfer, after Harrop rejected United’s offer to stay in the club, preferring to delve into the Championship.

Of course, the official narrative is the cliché one:

“I’m 21 now and I’m confident in myself, I need to play first team football to get myself out there.”
- Harrop

In addition to 21 and confident, he was also the MOTM on his PL debut:

Actually maybe that’s what made him confident enough to seek his fortune elsewhere.

One more former loanee saying goodbye to the Pride of London.

Nathaniel Chalobah, started academy at Chelsea at age 10 and after a bright start, signed his first professional contract shortly after turning 17.

He was sent on loan to several clubs such as Burnley, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Reading, Napoli, and Watford itself.

Under Conte’s management, Chalobah was given 15 chances at the first team on Stamford Bridge and despite winning the Premier League last season did not stay.

Chalobah signed a five-year deal to return to Watford and joins the club for an undisclosed fee.

After loan at Ajax reached an end,
Traore moves directly to Lyon with only 16 official senior appearances for Chelsea.

His new contract is a 5-year one, giving him plenty of time to show what he can do and – maybe- be one more former loanee to prove Chelsea wrong.

I am very happy to be here, to be Lyonnais. Lyon has always been an impressive club, with big players and a great history. It is an honour for me to play here.
-Traoré

The Blacklist is pretty awesome as well, so instead of getting home ridiculously tired and go to sleep, I got home completely tired and sat down to finish this.
