Don’t know how anyone can look at that XI and feel any kind of hope. And the bench is embarrassing. I realize that we have a bunch of key injuries but still. For this to be the state of our bench after all the money spent is mad.

Palmer starts on the bench

my number 1 wish is xabi alonso

Sources: Enzo Fernandez could still stay if Chelsea up their salary offer and match his ambitions It's not done and dusted yet https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-enzo-fernandez-could-still Enzo Fernandez’ Chelsea future is still very much up in the air, with Real Madrid, PSG, and Manchester City the three most interested clubs. Chelsea are open to selling the midfielder, but will only listen to offers of around £100m. The club and the player have been in talks over a salary increase, but so far, Chelsea have not offered what Fernandez would be content with. SPTC Sources have heard that if Chelsea do up their offer to what Fernandez wants, and also follow through with their promises to sign more ‘top’ and ‘ready made’ players in the transfer market and bring in a proven head coach, then there are still chances that Fernandez stays at the club this summer with or without Champions League. As reported last week, our info we had was that a surprise club had come in for Fernandez. We couldn’t reveal that the name of that club was Manchester City, but it’s since been reported by The Athletic. City are expected to have Enzo Maresca in charge in the summer, and there is even a belief that he is already starting summer transfer plans for when he arrives - with Fernandez and even Marc Cucurella on his wish list. At the moment, I see City as the most likely suitor for Fernandez, and we heard that players could be offered in return. I do not know which players yet, if any, but I do know that Chelsea like a number of City players, one of which is goalkeeper James Trafford, who is expected to leave City this summer. Real Madrid would love to sign Fernandez but could be priced out of it, unless they decide to offer players as well. Obviously these would not be swap deals, but more what I call ‘favour for a favour’ deals. But nothing is really advanced for Fernandez yet, and he stays focused on finishing the season strong. One source sees it as a ‘very slim possibility’ that he stays at Chelsea this summer, but there is a chance.

Thank fuck the board are not overcompensating and considering Jose 3.0

I swear, this Marco Silva thing needs to stop.

Why wouldn't he? It is a jump into the English league at a club he loves and always talks fondly about. Even at Como, there is going to be a big reset with Madrid taking back their loanees so you never know if his stocks are up in another year.

He is going to lose massive parts of the Como team, so there is that. Multiple players on this list are gone due to buyback clauses, sales, etc including his main superstar, Nico Paz, who is going back to Real Madrid

William Gallas urges Chelsea to snub Fabregas for “harsh” manager who “can win things very soon” https://Chelsea.news/2026/04/william-gallas-fabregas-simeone-Chelsea/ Former Chelsea star William Gallas has told the Blues to snub Cesc Fabregas and appoint Diego Simeone as the club’s next head coach. DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL Chelsea NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON THE APP STORE Chelsea sacked Liam Rosenior on Wednesday less than four months after appointing him, and are once again looking for another head coach. Rosenior is the second head coach to leave Chelsea this season, following the departure of Enzo Maresca in January. William Gallas urges Chelsea to snub Cesc Fabregas Calum McFarlane has been placed in temporary charge for the remainder of the season, whilst Chelsea’s sporting directors look for a new head coach. It’s understood there are seven or eight names under consideration, with Andoni Iraola reportedly an early front-runner. David Ornstein expects a head coach to be appointed early in the summer, and the sporting directors can’t afford to get this appointment wrong. It’s understood there are seven or eight names under consideration, with Andoni Iraola reportedly an early front-runner. Como’s president has said Fabregas is free to join Chelsea if he wishes, but Gallas has urged the blues to snub their ex-midfielder and appoint Simeone. “I think it all depends on what you are looking for,” he said as quoted by GOAL. “For the long-term, you can bring in Cesc Fabregas because he is doing well with his club at the moment. He is young and able to speak to a young squad. “He’s doing a good job. In the long term, he can bring Chelsea back to the positions where everybody wants to see Chelsea. “If you are thinking about the short-term, to have success straight away, they need that experienced head to guide them like Diego Simone and with his personality he can win things very soon with Chelsea. “Maybe the Chelsea players need him too because we need to see more warriors and soldiers in the team after what they’ve shown us. I think you need that type of manager who is a little bit more harsh on the players.” In other news… Joe Cole would love to see Chelsea appoint Xabi Alonso as their head coach, with the Spaniard out of work after being sacked by Real Madrid.

Sources: Ipswich Town make contact to sign Chelsea player this summer A real one to keep an eye on https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-ipswich-town-make-contact Chelsea are going to be open to selling a number of their first team squad in the summer, should decent offers arrive. Some players just aren’t performing well enough, and there are issues with the attitudes of some of the others. Clubs are starting to show interest in some of Chelsea’s players for the summer, and as you know, both Newcastle United and Everton are two clubs who have registered an interest in signing Blues striker Liam Delap. SPTC Sources have also now heard that Delap’s former club, Ipswich Town, have reached back out to his agents regarding a move to ‘bring him home’ this summer. Ipswich are currently in the playoff places in the Championship, and this attempt to sign him back will only happen if they get promoted back to the Premier League. But they are putting summer plans in place already, and some of those plans involve the hope of getting promoted. It may well be one to watch if they do go up, because I know Delap enjoyed his time at Ipswich and really thrived there, hence why Chelsea signed him and he also had Manchester United after him. We’ll see what happens, but the interested clubs in Delap are slowly building up for this summer.

A big FUCK NO!! Sources: Chelsea scouting new striker this season New name comes up https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-scouting-new-striker Chelsea are looking at potentially adding a new striker to the first team squad in the summer, depending on what happens with Liam Delap. There is a sense that they still don’t have a strong enough front line, with only Joao Pedro who has been performing consistently well. As I have reported many times now, Delap is wanted by a few clubs this summer, and as you will see in another sourced article out today, there is a new club in for him as well now. Chelsea only paid £30m for Delap, so they will certainly be open for business to sell him this summer after what has been a really disappointing season from the striker. SPTC Sources have heard that Chelsea are scouting Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey. At the moment, it is just scouting - they have been following him all season. Nothing has moved yet in terms of any possible move or contact. Brobbey is known for his strong hold up play and loves a battle with a centre back. The 24-year-old Dutch international has scored 75 goals in 236 senior appearances in his career so far and was most recently at Ajax, before moving to the Premier League last summer. He’s only got 6 goals in 28 appearances in all competitions so far this season. As I say, it’s just one of many names Chelsea are running some scouting reports on right now, it might not lead anywhere.

Hoping Palmer/Pedro find their touch in front of goal again Expecting another top tier Delap cardio session 😄

Probably between him and Silva, don't see any other options. Why would Cesc leave Como and what he has built to basically restart at Chelsea (and there's every chance he starts off poorly like any young manager)

🗯🔵Andoni Iraola would be more than happy to continue in the PL. He would be KEEN on becoming the next Chelsea manager! Nothing decided by Chelsea as in the early stages and nothing advanced. (@MatteMoretto)

🔵💥Cesc Fabregas is very happy at Como and planning next season in terms of new signings, tactics, and ideas. We will have to see if Chelsea go all in on him, but my understanding is Como are convinced he will continue with them. (@FabrizioRomano)

I think Joe Shields and his connections with Kinetic academy are amongst the biggest of problems in the club right now. Look at Callum McFarlane & co. currently in charge of the first team. Most of them cronies brought in because of the kinetic connections. And these clowns are influencing player transfers too.

Chelsea https://thedailybriefing.io/i/195350948/Chelsea Cole Palmer is a target for Manchester United, but there is not currently any indication that he wants to leave Chelsea, while the Blues would also ask for crazy money to sell the player, who is under contract until 2033. (Mark Brus, the Daily Briefing) Como president Mirwan Suwarso has publicly stated that manager Cesc Fabregas is free to leave and take over at Chelsea if he wants to amid links with replacing Liam Rosenior at Stamford Bridge. (City AM) Fabregas himself has also responded to the Chelsea links - read his quotes here! Enzo Maresca will not be returning as Chelsea manager as he’s more likely to be the leading candidate to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City once that job becomes available. (Fabrizio Romano) Chelsea will likely start conversations with representatives of new manager candidates in the next few days. (David Ornstein) Chelsea may have found their next wonderkid signing as they compete with Liverpool and Everton for the 18-year-old’s signature - full story here!

Feels like humiliation is on the cards one way or another, whether it’s at the hands of Leeds tomorrow or by City in the final. So it’s a struggle to even muster an ounce of desire to watch this one.

It is really starting to look like we are so fucked. I was not having a laugh when I posted my 'how we could get relegated next season' post almost 4 weeks back. We are already rocketing toward fulfilling a lot of the things needed to get to that nightmare outcome. BlueCo are completely out of control. They need to sell us asap to owners who actually know football, as these yank BlueCo cunts clearly do not know fuckall about football. It is insane that the entire group of directors have not been sacked ages ago. Winstanley, Stewart and Shields especially. All 3 are absolute poison and fools. Feckless cunts to an obvious degree, Each month (not year anymore) that BlueCo remain as owners AND refuse to completely change the entire model is one month closer to Chelsea being destroyed as a viable top football club. Destroyed to the point it could take a decade plus, even 2 or more decades, to sort us back to a level we were at under Roman.
