Sources: Chelsea turn attentions to Ivory Coast international winger
https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-turn-attentions-to

There’s a new name on the Chelsea recruitment agenda right now, and it’s a player making waves out there in world football.
We are into the January transfer window now, but you’d be forgiven if you had forgotten all about it due to everything else that has been going on at our club.
Chelsea are seeking out any possible opportunities for January, and we could well see one or two new arrivals into the first team squad. We just have to wait and see on that, with the new manager, Liam Rosenior, arriving this week.
But there’s a new name that has caught Chelsea’s attentions this week.
SPTC Sources have been told that are stepping up scouting on RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande.


The 19-year-old attacker can play on the left or on the right, and he has already earned 7 caps for Ivory Coast, scoring 2 goals along the way.
He’s also bagged 7 goals in 16 appearances in Bundesliga this season so far, playing mostly off the left wing.
Chelsea now have him on their radar and are pondering a potential move to try and sign him in the near future. It’s VERY unlikely that Leipzig will allow any sale mid-season, but clubs interested in Diomande are trying to be quick about it because both Tottenham and Manchester United have registered their interest in the player as well as Chelsea.
He’s another rising talent that has a big future ahead of him. Chelsea have put themselves firmly in the mix now.
 
 

Amorim sacked. Would not surprise me if they appoint Maresca and it turns out he engineered this 'sacking' to be able to join without any negotiation or fee club to club.

Lets be honest, young English managers aren't given opportunities like the Chelsea job very often so regardless of if its Wayne Rooney (ok he worked with him) or whoever, there is gonna be a positive write up.
Look at all the positive PR re Potter when he got the job here. Great coach, tactically good & whatever else mumbo jumbo they could add. 

Gary O'Neil to Chelsea - October 2026. Here. We. Go.

his subs worked better than Maresca's often did

Deffo not fun, nothing going forward nothing in the middle and nothing in Defense, nothings changed 

because he is utter shit as well
this will make 4 losses in the last 5 games Badi has started

badiashile is a piece of shit jesus christ

🔵Breaking News Liam Rosenior is boarding a flight to London. (@lequipe)

He is assisting as an assistant coach in today's game.

Joe Shields has joined the squad on the pitch.

Fucking snake cunt, probably handed himself his debut and has asked City players for their tracksuits already

🔵🗯Eric Ramsay, former assistant coach of Chelsea U23 19/21, is considered the favorite to succeed Liam Rosenior at Racing Strasbourg.
Calum McFarlane, Chelsea U23 coach since 2025, who is currently acting as interim coach at Chelsea, is also on the list, as is Filipe Coelho, former Chelsea U23 coach 24/25.
Will Still is also being considered as an option.

Eric Ramsay was also part of the United setup from 2021 to 2023 alongside Ole then Ralf and Ten Hag.

My first ever game at the Bridge was Chelsea-Fulham 2-2, in 2006 December. Gaffer scored an own goal, proper Chels!
From 2:30
 
 
 

Marc Keller opposes Liam Rosenior's departure to Chelsea! 😤
👉 The Racing president wants to keep the English coach at least until the end of the season and has made this known to BlueCo. 💥
👉 Negotiations are underway to convince the American consortium. 💬

First game in a long while I’m actually looking forward too, let’s see if the shackles are off

Joe Shields another one who has to go.
State of the transfers we made who were ex City players, other than Cole, none have been good signings for various reasons.
An absolute farce that they’ve given him & the other two so much control when they have no experience at an elite level. Only involved at Brighton, Monaco & City EDS or academy sides. But thats obviously the clubs current goals -  profit driven with no ambition of being competitive.
City were ruthless enough to let Sancho, Lavia, Delap etc all go with no hassle. Palmer also when he asked to leave. The only one they actually kept that we wanted was Nico O’Reilly. 

what a sick person

💣🗯Liam Rosenior is Chelsea's new coach!
The agreement with him was reached over a week ago.
This meant that Chelsea couldn't turn down a new coach, as Chelsea had always seen Rosenior as Enzo's successor.
There are still a few minor details to be clarified.
An announcement will be made after the game against City.
Rosenior is practically a Blue!!!

Shields will be there on Sunday back on his old stomping ground licking the arses of the City people behind the scenes
Him Winstanley and Stewart are cancerous along with the other two fucking clowns upstairs

Who exactly was he "forced" to play by the owners? 
Most of the team picks itself when fit.  The only players who wouldn't be guaranteed game time are: 
Tosin, Badi, George, Facundo and Gittens. 
Hato seemed like a long term signing, Josh is from the academy and Guiu was only brought back because they thought Delap may not be ready by January. 
Even if they did "pick" the team, the fact that he had no plan B in multiple games has nothing to do with ownership and more to do with his limited tactical skills (remember that he was a Championship level manager before getting the chance at Chelsea).
