Let's leave out the emojis, but it is safe to say Adebayo Afinkenwa was in whimsical mood on Friday morning.
The big man tweeted: “Woke up hearing the Chelsea rumours, I’m flattered but I’ve heard Conte don’t allow chicken at the training ground… sorry can’t do it.”
Only mildly amusing from the Wycombe striker, but reflective of a wider sense of slight bewilderment at Chelsea’s transfer policy.
Even Gary Lineker got in on the act.
“Believe Chelsea have been trying to get in touch. Sorry, Antonio, you’re wasting your time. I’m too short.”
Andy Carroll and Peter Crouch? Good lads, very decent strikers but Chelsea?
If you are in, what is surely, a minority who would have seen Carroll or Crouch as a fix for a blue chip club, it would only have been a short-term fix.
Edin Dzeko, one of the most under-rated finishers in recent Premier League times, makes more sense but, at 31, would still look like a temporary measure.
Right now, everything about Chelsea screams short-term, and it probably did the moment Antonio Conte agreed a pay rise but not a contract extension last summer.
And it has done since Conte made it clear that he is not the guy who makes the signings at Stamford Bridge.
The days of managers having the final say on recruitment are probably numbered, but you would still expect those at the Big Six clubs to have the power of veto or final thumbs-up.
Instead, Conte almost goes out of his way to highlight how little say he has in transfer policy.
“… the club sometimes asked me my opinion about our transfer market, about our situation … but at the same time, the final decision is for the club. The club has to spend money… in the way they prefer.”
Quite who is doing the preferring is not immediately clear, but whoever it is, or whoever they are, cannot have more football expertise than Conte.
Oddly, for a club one step away from Wembley in one cup, still in another, holding a top-four Premier League position and looking forward to a Champions League knockout tie against Barcelona, Chelsea have a team with a stagnant look to it.
They are still competing on all fronts, but have the feel of a club treading water until the next, inevitable managerial change.
Changing managers has not done Chelsea any particular harm over the last 15 years or so.
And leaving Chelsea with mutual consent or otherwise will not do the future career prospects of Conte any harm at all.
