    Chelsea transfer tactic slammed as ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ as club look to offload stars with deadline days away

    CHELSEA’S “bomb squad” transfer tactic has been slammed as the Professional Footballers’ Association aims to get it banned.The Blues have expelled 13 players from first-team training as they look to force them out of the club.Chelsea and Enzo Maresca’s ‘bomb squad’ transfer tactic has been slammedCredit: GettyRaheem Sterling is one of 13 players being made to train away from the first-teamCredit: GettyThe PFA are working to get the approach, which has also seen Ben Chilwell exiled, bannedCredit: GettyRaheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are among the players banished from Enzo Maresca’s sessions at the club’s Cobham base.Both players have been linked with exits amid reported interest from Manchester United.Sterling is even understood to be open to joining the Red Devils before the transfer window closes on Friday.However, the PFA now want the Premier League and Fifa to stop clubs from using the approach with unwanted players.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLAccording to the Daily Mail, the players’ union has been in contact with Chelsea players and their representatives.They have also been in touch with other exiled players elsewhere in England.Although the PFA cannot comment on specific clubs or cases, they are proactively trying to help find resolutions where aware of problems.The report adds that the group have been campaigning on the issue for several years and they are still actively pushing for so-called bomb squads to be tackled by the game’s authorities.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSIt is felt that the Premier League Handbook is too vague on the issue, with players told they must “attend at any reasonable place for the purposes of and to participate in training and match preparation”.They are also ordered to “maintain a high standard of physical fitness at all times”.Why Joao Felix’s transfer to Chelsea is not as crazy is it soundsPlayers signed under Boehly at ChelseaRaheem Sterling – £50mKalidou Koulibaly £33mGabriel Slonina – £8mCarney Chukweumeka – £20mMarc Cucurella – £57.5mCesare Casadei – £13.3mWesley Fofana – £70mPierre-Emerick Aubameyang – £10.3mDenis Zakaria – £2.7m (Loan fee)David Datro Fofana – £10.6mBenoit Badiashile – £33.7mAndrey Santos – £11.1mJoao Felix – £9.7m (Loan fee)Mykhailo Mudryk – £62m Noni Madueke – £30mMalo Gusto – £26.75mEnzo Fernandez – £107.8mChristopher Nkunku – £52mDiego Moreira – FREENicolas Jackson – £31.5mAngelo Gabriel – £13mLesley Ugochukwu – £23.3mAxel Disasi – £38.9mRobert Sanchez – £20mMoises Caicedo – £115mRomeo Lavia – £53.2mDeivid Washington – £13.7mCole Palmer – £40.1mDjordje Petrovic – £13.6mTosin Adarabioyo – FREEMarc Guiu – £5.1mCaleb Wiley – £8.63mRenato Veiga – £12mAarón Anselmino – £14mOmari Kellyman – £19.2mFilip Jorgensen – £21mKiernan Dewsbury-Hall – £30.2mPedro Neto – £51mJoao Felix – £42.6mMike Penders – £17mThe PFA’s reported stance comes just days after Gary Neville blasted Chelsea’s treatment of their own players.He wrote in his latest newsletter for The Overlap: “Let’s start with what is good about Chelsea: the collection of players.”Despite the defeat against Manchester City, I’m seeing a group that can make the top four on paper.”If you have a front three of Neto, Joao Felix and Cole Palmer, a midfield of Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, plus their back four and depth in the squad, you’re in a position most clubs would envy. The challenge is moulding them into a team that can do it.”However, we can quickly get to the bad. Clearlake have spent £1.1bn since taking over and they still haven’t signed a centre forward who you would regard as a top-class assured starter in the Premier League. (I really like Nicolas Jackson but I don’t think he’s that yet).Where will they get changed? Jamie Carragher’s huge Chelsea rantPREMIER LEAGUE legend Jamie Carragher let rip at Chelsea’s transfer market activity, going on an epic rant about the west Londoners…He told Sky Sports: “Chelsea have just got to stop buying players and players have got to stop signing for Chelsea.”If I was a player and look at Chelsea, why would you sign?”The only reason you’d sign is because someone might say – your agent might say – ‘We’re getting a seven-year deal’.”You know what I’d say? ‘Back yourself as a player, sign a four-year deal at a proper club and back yourself to do well’.”And then when you’re due for renewal your money goes up anyway.”I don’t understand why you’d sign a seven-year deal. Back yourself.”He continued: “All players need competition. But every team I played in there were seven or eight players who knew they were playing every week.”Then you’ve got six or seven players who are fighting for three positions, and then you’ve got another six players who know they are squad players.”And of the Blues’ swollen array of talent, Carragher asked: “Where are they going to fit in the changing room?”How are you going to put on a training session.””You’ve six goalkeepers, but not one I would really trust. You have 42 players in the squad but a manager who has just said this week that he will only be working with 21 of them.”Good luck moving onto the other 21. And good luck motivating them for the rest of the season if you can’t move them on.”Chelsea have already sold five first-team players this summer, most recently academy graduate Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid.There could still be more before the window closes, with United joined by Crystal Palace and Aston Villa in being linked with Sterling.READ MORE SUN STORIESMeanwhile, the Blues have also launched a late move to sign England striker Ivan Toney from Brentford.If successful, he would become their 13th addition of the summer window.Chelsea are a circus – it will be TERRIBLE for football if they win anything, says Troy DeeneyCHELSEA are a circus — aren’t they?, writes Troy Deeney.But the bigger concern should be if somehow, some way, Todd Boehly’s insane master-plan brings about success this season.Finish in the top four. Win a trophy like the FA Cup.He will then turn around and say: “See, it works” and all of a sudden, other clubs will begin considering copying this mad model to try and compete in the Premier League.Before you know it, there will be a bigger divide between the top clubs and the rest and this country’s top flight will become something we have been fighting against — a Super League.The smaller sides and promoted teams will be wiped out by the elite and will end up saying, ‘What’s the point?’Football as we know it will change, and there will be no going back.As a neutral, you don’t want to wish failure on a club or a regime, but it’s depressing to think about.We should almost be looking at it in amazement — the owners have come in with this model and they’ve treated it as if they are buying stocks and shares, not players or human beings.Boehly has wiped away any sense of sentiment or old-school values from that club and the worrying thing is that he doesn’t seem to care.Does he even like football?Read Troy Deeney’s hard-hitting opinion on Boehly’s Chelsea shambles in full.Or check out all of Troy’s columns on SunSport.

    Inside Sandro Tonali’s exile, from sampling wine in Newcastle to girlfriend leaving Tyneside as he prepares for return

    NEWCASTLE star Sandro Tonali’s wait to get back on the pitch is nearly over.The Italian was slapped with a ten-month ban following an investigation into betting breaches.Sandro Tonali is ready to make his Newcastle comebackCredit: PAThe midfielder has visited a factory while being bannedCredit: XTonali’s girlfriend Juliette Pastore has been by his side in Newcastle – but she has now returned to ItalyCredit: Instagram @juliette_pastoreJuliette has enjoyed dog walks in Gosforth with the playerCredit: Instagram @juliette_pastoreHis punishment came just three months and 12 appearances after joining Newcastle from AC Milan for £55million.Tonali’s ban saw him miss Euro 2024 and become something of a forgotten man at St James’ Park.But Newcastle have stood by the 24-year-old and, alongside his rehab, have helped shape him into a reborn star raring to go.Tonali is available for the Carabao Cup tie against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night and he could make his first appearance since October 25, 2023.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLIt’s been a difficult period for the player as he battled an addiction and tried to settle into a new country without football at the same time.Support from friends, family and club chiefs have all been vital, with his personal manager Andrea Romeo a key part of the midfielder’s rejuvenation. He has been a father figure to Tonali and he lives just up the road from him in Newcastle.They cook, eat, play Monopoly and even spend time with Romeo’s kids together.Most read in FootballTonali has opted to stay in Newcastle during his ban to help him settle into life in the north of England.His girlfriend Juliette Pastore has lived with him, with the couple enjoying dog walks in Gosforth, as well as coastal towns Tynemouth and Bamburgh.Sandro Tonali returns to Newcastle training after serving ten-month ban for illegal bettingBut the model and clothes designer has now returned to Italy to allow him to fully focus on his Toon comeback.Tonali only returned to see his family in Italy around Christmas and then went on holiday to Dubai after club staff noticed he was beginning to struggle as the ban took its toll.He has instead lived the life of luxury in Newcastle, dining in several high-end restaurants and he has been regularly spotted sipping wine and coffee at his favourite cafe around midday.A more Italian level of sophistication rather than going to Wetherspoons as he did just weeks after joining. As part of his rehab, Tonali spoke to students in his homeland, saying: “Hiding behind the barriers of a problem is never the solution. You have to talk about it, instead. Get help. “My true wealth is not the millionaire contracts, but being surrounded by people who love me and continue to show it to me every day.”Tonali has also visited a factory in the north-east and posed for photos with fans while dressed in a hi-vis jacket.His humble nature has seen him become a hit in the dressing room and he is reportedly close pals with Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton and Miguel Almiron.Sandro Tonali is a popular member of the squadCredit: AFPReports claim there is a “cheeky” side to him and he has a “big heart”.He has been at all the team’s social events and after arriving in Newcastle speaking very little English – he is now much more confident with the language.Plus, he has cheered on the club from being FaceTimed by Romeo in the away end to watching the Magpies’ Under-19s face AC Milan from the stands in December.On the pitch, Tonali has been using his time away from the Premier League to improve as a player.Coaches have been teaching him the Eddie Howe style and trained him up in individual sessions for much of last season.The Telegraph report that insiders say: “He is not as flamboyant as Bruno, but he is every bit as good, just as effective. He will bring calmness, as well as high energy. He will use the ball so intelligently.”Shooting has been an area they have looked to improve and he now supposedly boasts the most powerful shot in the squad.Extra gym sessions have also helped him bulk up and improve on his fitness.There has been mental health support given to him by club psychologist Dr Ian Mitchell, who has assisted Tonali with “tackling his demons” and keeping his eyes focused on the goal of pulling on his No8 shirt again.Meetings with Italian professor Gabriele Sani, who diagnosed him with his addiction, have also taken place.Meanwhile, Howe has protected him publicly, saying: “I see the person. I see the human. I see the pain and distress. “He is devastated. That’s why my thoughts are always with the player and making sure we look after him.”And ahead of his comeback, Howe said: “He will definitely be in the squad, he is fit, he just hasn’t had the game time. “He has done everything else. He has worked incredibly hard to be on top of his fitness. READ MORE SUN STORIES”I imagine a range of emotions, a lot of excitement, when you have a long time out, you have a long time to analyse and reflect. “Now it is just back to doing what he loves. It will be an incredible release for him. I want Sandro to come back and enjoy his football.” More
