Probably financially not a bad deal for us either, quite a lot of clubs at that level and below are part time, and some of the players only on a few hundred quid a week.
Clearly has an eye for goal and is young enough to improve too.

I wonder if we're planning on fielding an U21/23 side in one of the development leagues? Would explain the volume of signings (no complaints from me).

I mentioned that on a few posts, I'm hoping we'll bring back our reserve side this season, or something similar. Not all of these younger ones will be regularly involved or fringe players so keeping them ticking over would be a big plus, something we've lacked in recent years for fringe players, other than the occasional game in the Birmingham Senior Cup. An example would be Gilligan, who could go months without a game, and then thrust back into the starting line up.

Has this been confirmed? Can't see it on twitter or the website. Not announced just yet but supposedly a medical has been completed. Article on BBC Sport by a journalist very close with Chelsea, although he mentioned in the article that we apparently signed Jamal Blackman from Exeter this summer www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea

Lots on Twitter, from the Chelsea end by the look of it.

Only seem clips of him but he's clearly got a great left foot, crossing/long pass ability, can play anywhere down the left hand side. If I could compare him to a left back we've had in the past he seems a similar style to Scott Malone.

x.com/jaisra02/status/1806340700289499396Interesting from a Crawley Town fan claiming that we signed Orsi for just 75k due to his release clause. That rest of that thread is quite interesting from an outsider standpoint - that WAGMI seem like a right circus if it is true

I feel a bit sorry for Crawley fans but we’ve had it done to us time and time again. If he had a low release clause then the club agreed that as part of the negotiation. He probably has something similar with us, in case Championship or Premier teams come knocking at the end of the season with us. If so, same circumstances would apply.

Dylan Williams and Charlie Webster were two of the more promising players in Chelsea's U21s. A couple of great signings there IMO.

Yeah I noticed that - one of the posts mentioned Corey Addai going to Stockport hours before the move was announced, obviously doesn't mean the rest is correct but would be nice for us if that was the fee we paid
