Enzo Fernandez joined Marc Cucurella, Cole Palmer, and Conor Gallagher as another Chelsea player to reach a major final this summer as he helped Argentina beat Canada 2-0 on Tuesday night to get to the Copa America final. Interestingly, Enzo played in what the local media called a 5 position, which is what we call […]View the full article

Marc Cucurella has become the marmite player out there right now amongst Chelsea fans. There’s many Blues fans who rate him, and there are many more who still do not rate him. For me, I always said that when I watched Cucurella at Getafe, I thought he was an excellent left back. At Brighton as […]View the full article

Reports came out this week suggesting that there is a £40m release clause in the contract of Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka. It was transfer expert Fabrizio Romano that reported it, and he also says Chelsea would sell him for a good offer, but aren't interested in loaning him out. https://twitter.com/TheBlueDodger/status/1808287132936495516 Chelsea yesterday announced the signing […]View the full article

It doesn’t look like any club is yet pushing hard to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford this summer. I suspect it will heat up soon, but I’m wondering whether there is something more to the reasoning as to why Chelsea, and other interested clubs, have not pushed for him yet. Chelsea have been interested in […]View the full article

Enzo Maresca likes his goalkeeper to be a ball player, but not only making short passes, making little dink passes up to the forward as well. He also likes his striker to be good on the ball, involved with build up, helping keep possession and linking in other players. I have been preaching the need […]View the full article

This transfer window is supposed to be the final window of a four window plan that the new owners put in place to complete this Chelsea squad rebuild. Everyone has an opinion on the current squad, whether it’s good enough, what it might be missing, etc, etc. I think there’s been some very good signings, […]View the full article

There is no doubt at all that Andrey Santos is a top footballer and has a big future, but I’m wondering whether that will even be at Chelsea at all. Some quotes from Santos this week had me thinking and wondering. He’s picked up on the blockages in front of him at Chelsea, and those […]View the full article

Barcelona's Marc Guiu is one of the strikers being linked with Chelsea right now and as we reported here Sunday morning, we can confirm too that he is absolutely of interest to Chelsea right now and talks are happening. He is also wanted by Bayern Munich, and Barcelona also have a new contract offer on […]View the full article

Enzo Maresca's achievements are under the microscope following his appointment as Chelsea's new manager. Understandably, Chelsea supporters are eager to know what to expect and whether Maresca's CV suggests a likely return to the summit of the Premier League. At first glance, the 44-year-old’s accomplishments might leave fans feeling unconvinced. The reality is that Maresca’s […]View the full article

I do wonder exactly what Nicolas Jackson will be thinking when he sees the kind of striker names Chelsea are in talks to try and sign this summer. Jackson came in last summer and had a very slow start to his Chelsea career. He grew in confidence and his performances got much better, he ended […]View the full article

We are now into another summer transfer window and we all know that Chelsea are going to be quite busy in the market buying and selling. The squad being setup is a good one, but for me it lacks proven quality experience. I'm not meaning just any old experience, I mean QUALITY experience and established […]View the full article

The Euros are underway, and teams are already starting to impress (or not) in their opening round of games. There's an interesting selection of Blues going to Germany to compete for the big trophy. It's not the same selection of stars we might have had at the last tournament. But there still looks a decent […]View the full article

Chelsea's summer is up and running, and fans who are paying attention to the chatter online can feel pretty confident they can make money betting on transfer if they sense which way the wind is blowing.

I’m getting sick to death of writing this, but my faith is being completely drained out of me yet again by the decision makers at this club. I keep trying to keep myself calm and waiting to see if it actually happens, and I will still refrain from fully going all in on this one. […]View the full article

The Athletic are reporting that Chelsea are open to offers for defender Trevoh Chalobah but the defender sees his future at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea do not see Trevoh Chalobah suiting Maresca’s method of playing out from the back. Fulham are one of the clubs expressing an interest but the 24-year-old. We all knew that Chalobah will […]View the full article

People might see this is a little hypocritical, and to be honest, I’m not 100% backing it as it’s not a simple and straight forward decision, but I understand it and I’m OK with it. For this one, I agree with the sporting directors, and I am totally fine with Conor Gallagher being sold this […]View the full article

I just really get a sense now that Chelsea are going to end up signing Jhon Duran as their new striker this summer, and it’s really aggravating me.

Whilst yes I still fully believe this is a HUGE risk and I have MASSIVE concerns about this appointment, […]View the full article

With Mauricio Pochettino relieved of his duties at the end of the season, it’s possible that Chelsea’s new manager will deploy different tactics to the Argentine in 2024/25. That would be a shame, as Pochettino’s fluid system was able to get the best out of players like Marc Cucurella, who was given the freedom to […]View the full article
