💥🔵Chelsea scouts watched Sporting’s Maxi Aruajo last night vs Arsenal and are still keeping tabs on Ousmane Diomande. Jan Paul Van Hecke has been added to list of potential interested CB targets.

What a joke. Chelsea is the only club in the world that has to tell its most important players that they’ll be signing experienced players, something that should be normal at any club. What a farce.

Darwin Nuñez…a striker who was ridiculed for being too mentally fragile to succeed at Liverpool. Even our incompetent directors would t do something THAT idiotic.

Should Chelsea use their buy-back for Diego Moreira? Maybe for another reason? https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/should-Chelsea-use-their-buy-back Chelsea apparently have a very favourable buy-back option to bring Diego Moreira back to Stamford Bridge. According to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Borussia Dortmund are among the clubs to have Diego Moreira on their shortlist for the summer. He states that Moreira is planning a move in the upcoming window, with a potential fee in the region of €30–40 million. Chelsea are believed to hold a very favourable buy-back option. I mean, of course they do. It’s literally their own club that they have ‘agreed’ the option with! It’s very easy for them to transfer players between Chelsea and Strasbourg. So, should Chelsea sign Moreira back? Maybe they should sign him back to sell him for profit? Or maybe they need to just let Strasbourg have that profit? I didn’t rate Moreira AT ALL when he arrived at Chelsea. I seriously thought he was awful and didn’t even look like a footballer. But he’s since improved a lot and has been decent at Strasbourg. Perhaps being in a league that is nowhere near as tough has really helped him. But he’s also clearly developed as a player. But for me, no, I’d not be signing him back at Chelsea. We need to upgrade our left side in the attacking areas this summer, and by that I mean SERIOUSLY upgrade with a guaranteed starter who is MUCH better than what we have out there right now - a needle mover. What’s your thoughts?

Really just sick of hearing about him and this story now, boring the life out of me.

Enzo Fernandez has presented Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior with the first major internal disciplinary issue of his tenure at Stamford Bridge. The Argentina midfielder, 25, had only just arrived at Buenos Aires airport on international duty last month when he cast doubt on his Blues future. Fernandez subsequently spoke to a YouTuber and then appeared on TV alongside his partner Valentina Cervantes, first saying he would "like" and then would "love" to live in Madrid, while highlighting his admiration for former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos. Rosenior and Chelsea's hierarchy responded by issuing Fernandez with a two‑match internal suspension for "crossing a line". The ban ruled him out of the FA Cup tie against Port Vale and Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester City. HOW WILL IT BE RESOLVED ? It appears Fernandez is unlikely to back down unless he secures a new contract on significantly improved terms or is sold. However, facilitating an exit will be extremely difficult. Chelsea are well protected from a negotiating standpoint, with Fernandez under contract for a further six years until 2032. The club are also expected to hold out for at least the £107m they paid Benfica to sign him in 2023 - a British transfer record at the time. The situation also highlights how Chelsea's incentive‑based contracts, which include bonuses linked to goals, assists and Champions League qualification, can deliver value for the club but also prove frustrating for high‑profile players tied into lengthy deals. Demanding such a fee is likely to deter potential suitors. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have been linked but are considered unlikely to move under those conditions, while reports connecting Fernandez with PSG are understood to be wide of the mark. Rosenior has continued to extract strong performances from Fernandez and has spoken positively about their working relationship. Ultimately, it is expected that only financial resolution - in one form or another - will bring this situation to a close.

Maverick players are becoming rare in football, it’s time Chelsea unleash theirs – opinion

"Let Estevao cook, let him play!" It's time to unleash the puppeteer https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/let-estevao-cook-let-him-play As Chelsea head into the season run in that has become very important now in the race for Champions League football, it might finally be time to just ‘let Estevao cook.’ For once, I’ll let someone else do the talking here though. One of the best strikers to ever play the game - Thierry Henry. “Let Estevao cook, let him play. We need to enjoy this type of players in this type of games. It doesn’t have to be scripted all the time,” Thierry Henry said on CBS Sport at the weekend after the Brazilian shone. “You wouldn’t like to play against him because he’s coming at you all the time, he’s coming at you the whole game, whether he’s having a good game or not a good game. “He’s trying to test you all the time and see if you’re going to stop him or not.” Yes, the old maverick-type players who are more of a rarity these days. Let them play, let them cook, let them express themselves. Estevao is an exciting young player. When he is on the pitch at Stamford Bridge you can just feel the energy in the crowd lift. Fans get off their seats when he has the ball, this is something that doesn’t really happen with any of our other players right now. That says it all about the potential Estevao has. I’m not against how he’s been eased into our club. I think it’s probably been smart. But in this season run in, it might now be time to hand him the keys to our UCL race.

The Next Manager?
-
That screenshot shows what is wrong with this club. I'd say only 4 players from that list should be on the first team XI every game. Cucu, Reece, Enzo and Pedro. Maybe 5 if you include Neto as our only fit winger. Standards have dropped since Roman left.
-
Thats an important point - they've normalised mediocrity. Lose three on the bounce and draw a couple, its how far we've sunk
-
This Moreira was here, he didn't pull up any trees and was sent away. Playing in the French league and doing well as opposed to playing the PL is a totally different gravy even for the higher standard type players, never mind this mid range player. If he was good enough first time round he would have stayed but he played a cameo role and hasn't been seen since. We need much better quality than this fella, or have our standard dropped that much and we have been brain washed into thinking like this board and leadership.
-
Has anyone watched him enough to provide insight if he'd do well here? Same with Barco. Am I missing something? Doesn't come across too amazing in highlights. Or is he one of those Spanish style midfielders ala Vitinha/Iniesta/Silva that is super hard to get the ball off of and is just super impressive in tight pockets?

this Braga player (plays all over the MF and also plays wingback)reminds me a bit of Michael Essien, who just happened to coach him last season at Nordsjælland in Denmark: Mario Dorgeles

Chelsea told they have ruined Everton and West Ham target Cesare Casadei’s career https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/news/Chelsea-told-they-have-ruined-everton-and-west-ham-target-cesare-casadeis-career/ It’s the end of the January transfer window in 2025, and Enzo Maresca has rubber-stamped the permanent exit of Cesare Casadei, ending an indifferent stint at Stamford Bridge. The Italian midfielder had joined Chelsea two and a half years before that, in the summer of 2022 from Inter Milan. Another example of Chelsea signing a young player, but failing to give them the platform. Many young players struggle to play for Chelsea these days, given the size and bloated nature of the squad Liam Rosenior has inherited. It means the talented youngsters Chelsea sign end up failing to play. Casadei managed just 17 senior appearances for the Blues, going on loan to Reading and Leicester during his time in England. Eventually, the inevitable occurred, and Casadei left. He joined Torino for £12.5m. Chelsea lost money and Casadei’s development was affected This is a player that has been called up by Italy, and has clocked up 16 appearances for Italy’s U21 side. But there was simply no room for Casadei at Chelsea. Since then, he’s played 45 times for Torino. This season, he has five goals in 30 games for the Serie A side. Glimpses of quality, but a rawness that might have already been ironed out of his game, had he actually been given a chance at Chelsea. Speaking over the weekend via FCInter1908, Torino boss Roberto D’Aversa explained why he believes Chelsea are to blame for Casadei’s inconsistency. Casadei is still young at 23, but there is room to go. “He is a strong midfielder; he can get all the headers, but he can also play football. He needs consistency. He paid for a crucial move, to Chelsea. He didn’t play, and missed playing at a team where you can grow.” Chelsea bought Casadei for the best part of £17m, meaning they made a £4m loss on the midfielder. This is the ugly side of Todd Boehly’s approach as Chelsea owner, stunting the growth of some real gems. Cesare Casadei has unfinished business in the Premier League Earlier this month, reports emerged from Italy that suggested Casadei could well be back in England. Indeed, his goals, albeit inconsistent in Serie A this season, have caught the eye of top-tier English sides. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, talented midfielder Casadei is a target for both Everton and West Ham ahead of the summer window. That is, of course, if West Ham manage to remain in the Premier League. Casadei will feel he has plenty left to prove in England and a move to a mid-table Premier League side will certainly give him that chance. Whether he can ever emulate the hype around him as a teen, is unclear.
