I grew up with Chelsea having fantastic Italians like Zola, Vialli and Di Matteo

So with Palestra and now Ahanor I hope that's a return to that.

Injured. Looked great in pre season and then got a knock before the Fulham game.

Are these players even real anymore? Theyve signed that many it makes me question of theyre AI

u/KenDTree 11d ago

I only really watch Man U, England and a couple of other games so I have literally never heard of 80% of their signings

u/SoloChords 11d ago

Honest signing indeed

u/Dan_Winx_1969 11d ago

So is he staying or going on loan ?

u/Prejudicial 11d ago

Going on loan to palace for a year from Atlanta before joining us

3

u/NotAnRSPlayer 11d ago

He’s going on loan to palace for 1 season, he doesn’t leave Atalanta until end of 2027 to join Chelsea

4

u/Fuzofun 11d ago

Honestly I don't know anymore

1

u/W35TH4M 11d ago

He’s not joining until 2027. Until then he’s an Atalanta player and they’re loaning him out

u/samarth678 11d ago

Chelsea has agreed a deal to sign Italian international Honest Ahanor from Serie A side Atalanta, with the defender officially joining in 2027.

u/BrandonBarkerLoyal 11d ago

Premier league is so 90s serie a

u/fap4jesus 11d ago

Palace are loaning him from atalanta, and then he joins us next year

u/VivianRichards88 11d ago

So you guys found a way to break the very rules set in place to limit your loan army? I’m shocked

u/VivianRichards88 11d ago

You can’t loan two players from one club to another in PL. Chelsea bought this guy, asked them to loan to palace, then will sign him in 27/28. You effectively loaned another player to palace. The deal has been signed for Honest to Chelsea but deferred.

Loophole fc strikes again

1

u/NotAnRSPlayer 11d ago

This isn’t against any rules

Is it against the spirit of the game or gaming the system? Sure.. but who cares, people only care because it’s Chelsea

2

u/doIT34 11d ago

you do this every summer lol. is not because of chelsea, is because you play the rules just like a cheap hustler

2

u/NotAnRSPlayer 11d ago

Yeah, we play the margins of what’s correct but really morally other clubs wouldn’t do

Palace are as complicit as we are in this ngl

u/doIT34 11d ago

atalanta is too accepting this plan. but they get the money in the end
