There’s been a bizarre turn of events occur at Chelsea that will anger fans, and it’s connected to the Mike Maignan and GK situations.
Yesterday was a bit of a wild day for Chelsea Football Club and in all honesty, they became a bit of a laughing stock after they publicly failed to get two new signings in the door.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea make contact to sign Premier League and England star this summer!!
Chelsea were chasing a deal to sign goalkeeper Mike Maignan before the Club World Cup starts, with the transfer deadline running out at 7pm last night. It was announced quite early in the day by Fabrizio Romano that the deal for Chelsea to sign Maignan was OFF!
So then Chelsea tried to sign Jamie Gittens from Dortmund and that one became the big headline news of the afternoon. But they couldn’t even get that one done either even after throwing in a late offer to sign him.
It was not a great day for Chelsea at all and the club managed to annoy and frustrate their entire fan base once again.
Missing out on Maignan is fine because we’ve got Petrovic

I saw many fans playing down missing out on signing Mike Maignan because it was a chance now to have Djordje Petrovic as our number one, with many fans rating him.
They were excited that Petrovic, who had a good season on loan at Strasbourg, would hopefully be our number one next season.
Not happening!
As expected, that will not be happening.
According to Ben Jacobs and Tom Bogert writing for GIVEMESPORT this week, Djorde Petrovic is expected to leave Chelsea this summer.
But before he does, Petrovic previously sold his image rights to another party, so this is a situation that would likely need to be resolved before any potential transfer.
You cannot make this stuff up, can you!?
Oh dear…
