🔵🗯Chelsea remain interested in Victor Osimhen and believe Xabi Alonso can help lure him to Stamford Bridge. (@GraemeBailey) 💥Chelsea are interested in signing Mike Maignan from AC Milan this summer. The goalkeeper is ready to leave unless Milan qualify for the Champions League and retain Max Allegri as their manager. (@Gazetta Dello Sport)

I’ve said it before but I get the impression that those in the club LOVE Sanchez and rate him much higher than any of us supporters do. I would be genuinely, pleasantly surprised if we sold him.

Should sell him to Strasbourg as part of Blueco.

I spoke to my neighbour this morning, who happens to be a Liverpool fan. He was devastated and…View the full article

I do not want Sanchez any longer, he has to go

✅️Calum McFarlane will remain at Chelsea as part of Xabi Alonso’s backroom staff. 🤬Unfortunately, Cueva and Ben Roberts are staying too which means Rob Sánchez isn't going anywhere!!! 🫩They could have also brought Thiago Silva, Ashley Cole, Azpilicueta or John Terry into the coaching staff. 😒Thiago Alcantara was also discussed internally, but he wants to stay in Barcelona. @MarioCortegana Xabi Alonso’s long-term assistant coach Sebastian Parrilla is one of four members of his Real Madrid backroom staff who are set to join him at Chelsea. Assistants Alberto Encinas and Benat Labaien, plus fitness coach Ismael Camenforte Lopez are also expected to move to Stamford Bridge with Alonso. Interim head coach Calum McFarlane is set to remain at the club and be part of the new manager’s backroom staff. Chelsea set-piece coach Bernardo Cueva and goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts are both also expected to stay on under Alonso. Alonso gave the Madrid backroom staff an extensive refresh upon his appointment last summer and there remains a possibility that he could bring more coaches to Chelsea. The 44-year-old was appointed Chelsea manager on Sunday on a four-year deal. The job marks his return to management after being sacked by Madrid in January. All four coaches departed Madrid alongside Alonso at the beginning of the year. The former midfielder has worked with Parrilla since the beginning of his coaching career, dating back to the pair taking charge of Madrid’s under-14s in 2018. Parrilla had spent two decades working in Madrid’s academy, before joining Alonso at Real Sociedad’s B team in 2019, and then Bayer Leverkusen, where they guided the club to their first Bundesliga title in 2023-24 after going the entire domestic campaign unbeaten. The Athletic reported in June that Alonso relies on Parrilla in particular for defensive work and set-pieces. Encinas is a former coach at Barcelona’s La Masia academy, who first worked with Alonso during his successful spell at Leverkusen before he brought him to Madrid. Labaien joined Alonso at Madrid, returning to the club where he worked in the youth set-up between 2011 and 2014. A video analyst and assistant coach, he has also had spells at Atletico Madrid, Leeds United, Real Sociedad, Al Wakrah and Real Zaragoza, in addition to a stint in charge of Japanese side Tokushima Vortis in 2023. Camenforte Lopez first worked with Alonso at Leverkusen, before joining him at Madrid as the club’s head of fitness preparation. His focus was on the style of play of Alonso’s teams, planning players’ loads and on-pitch work. He previously spent eight years at La Masia, followed by spells at New York City and Denmark’s national team. McFarlane, 40, moved to Chelsea from Southampton in the summer of 2025 as Under-21 coach, and has had two spells in interim charge this season following the departures of Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior. Alonso officially begins his Chelsea role on July 1.

All I seem to see and hear is the sheer amount of debt we are currently in

No way to Woltamade, pathetic. Watkins I can get on board with

💥🔵Restructuring planned for the forward line FIVE candidates are being considered. ⏳️Both Liam Delap and Marc Guiu are expected to be sold or at least loaned out this summer, with a subsequent option to buy or an obligation to buy. According to Simon Phillips the following names have been discussed at least internally within the club, scouted intensively this season, and there has already been contact with agents and possibly also with the clubs themselves as the summer transfer window opens. Nick Woltemade (Newcastle United) Brian Brobbey (Sunderland) Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) Pio Esposito (Inter Milan) Igor Thiago (Brentford) Woltemade is the name we’ve been hearing most often for several months now, but other names like Watkins have also come to the forefront. 😵‍💫😶My God, what a shitty list from Winstanley, Shields and Stewart again!!!

I wouldn't be opposed to Lewandowski either, much needed experience and still has it

Mudryk 😂

Gittens was another terrible terrible signing

🗯😶Wayne Rooney: "I think Chelsea will have to sell some players because they’ve got a big squad and have made some very strange signings. Selling [Noni] Madueke to Arsenal and signing [Jamie] Gittens, I just didn’t get that, I didn’t understand it. I never got the signing of [Alejandro] Garnacho, so there’s been some very strange signings."

My mates son playing up front for Sunday league is way better than Delap

First job, get rid of the deadwood and that includes Liam Fucking Delap.

The person who said we should buy Delap wants sacking

Chelsea are targeting a keeper and are seriously considering a move for Sunderland's 23-year-old Dutchman Robin Roefs. (Mirror), external

Victor Froholdt has been linked with a move away from Porto at the end of the season. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2026/05/16/victor-froholdt-liverpool-arsenal-transfer/ Liverpool and Arsenal are reported to be interested in the 20-year-old playmaker. He has had an impressive season with the Portuguese club, registering 15 goal contributions across all competitions. He could prove to be an interesting long-term acquisition for Liverpool and Arsenal. They could use more creativity and technical ability in the midfield, and the 20-year-old would be a superb option to have. The player was recently asked about a potential move to the Premier League, and he has revealed that he wants to compete in the UEFA Champions League with Porto, and he plans to stay with the club beyond this season. The development will come as a huge boost for the Portuguese club, and they will hope to keep him beyond the season. He is an important player for them, and they will not want to lose him easily. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Arsenal need more cutting-edge, and should look to move on to the target. If a deal for the 20-year-old cannot be done. Even though Liverpool invested a substantial sum in Florian Wirtz, he has not lived up to expectations, and the team needs more creativity. At Arsenal, Martin Odegaard has not been at his best this season. Froholdt could have been a handy option for both clubs. Liga Portugal: Victor Froholdt wins Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards https://www.flashscoreusa.com/news/soccer-liga-portugal-liga-portugal-victor-froholdt-wins-player-of-the-year-and-young-player-of-the-year-awards/0j7X7Ajg/ Victor Froholdt's debut season in Portuguese football ended perfectly. After becoming national champion with FC Porto, the 20-year-old Danish midfielder was the big winner at the Liga Portugal annual awards, taking home a historic double: Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year. The awards were decided exclusively by votes from coaches and captains of the top division and were handed out this Saturday, right after the final whistle of the Porto victory over Santa Clara at the Dragão. The undisputed engine of the champions Signed in the summer 2025 transfer window, the number 8 immediately established himself as the most indispensable piece in Francesco Farioli's tactical setup. Showing remarkable consistency, Froholdt featured in all 34 league matches (starting 31 of them), becoming the FC Porto outfield player with the most minutes played in the competition (2,875). In the race for the top Player of the Year award, the Danish international received 43% of the votes, comfortably beating Sporting's duo of Luis Suárez (29.5%) and Francisco Trincão (15%). Absolute dominance among the under-21s The young Nordic's impact was even more overwhelming in the Young Player of the Year category, where he claimed an impressive 49.5% of the votes. The podium in this category was completed by Benfica's Andreas Schjelderup, who finished second with 24.5%, and Gustavo Sá, Famalicão's creative midfielder, who rounded up the top three with 15.5% of the votes. At just 20 years old and after a stunning debut season, Froholdt has written his name into the golden gallery of Portuguese football, capping off a memorable year for the azul e branco universe.

Barcelona consider Julian Alvarez signing “practically impossible”. Full Story here!

Eli Junior Kroupi has been linked with a move away from Bournemouth at the end of the season. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2026/05/16/liverpool-eli-junior-kroupi-transfer/ The French attacker has been outstanding for the Cherries since joining the club, and he has 12 goals in the Premier League so far. The 19-year-old is a young player with a bright future, and he could develop into a star with the right guidance. He has been linked with multiple clubs in recent weeks. According to a report from Spanish publication SPORT, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are all keeping tabs on him. However, Tiago Pinto, the chief executive of the English club, has now revealed that the player will not be leaving the club in the summer. He has a long-term contract with them, and there is no release clause in his deal. He added that the player will not be sold, even if Liverpool offers €100 million for him. Liverpool could use more quality in the final third, and a dynamic attacker like Kroupi would have been ideal for them. He can operate as a centre forward as well as on the flanks. He would have added goals and technical ability in the final third. He has the attributes to develop into a star with the right guidance. It is fair to assume that he will eventually end up at a top club. It is highly unlikely that the Cherries will sanction his departure this summer, and any club hoping to sign him will have to wait for now. Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked with Kroupi.

Shouldn't we in theory be able to spend more freely since we might not be tied to Europe this season? I read somewhere were sitting very good in England fair play because they sold those hotels.

Get rid of both of these fuckers.
