  1. just a warning even Romano is now pushing Fichajes based stories, wtf Fichajes are the absolute worst shit-peddlers out there they are now claiming we may pay 50m euros for fullback Denzel Dumfries, who turns 30yo next season, lololololol
  2. Enzo Maresca on Palmer missing the penalty: “Cole didn't feel well during the night. People need to understand the effort he made to be there. He is a top player. Everything is normal now”. Enzo Maresca: “Palmer didn’t train yesterday, then he woke up today and asked if he could be on the pitch to help this club play Champions League. It shows how this player wants to take this club back to where it belongs”.
  3. Juventus compete with Chelsea in David Hancko chase https://thehardtackle.com/transfer-news/2025/03/10/juventus-compete-with-Chelsea-in-david-hancko-chase/ Juventus and Chelsea are reportedly vying against each other for Feyenoord defender David Hancko. Juventus’s plans to bolster their defense this summer have hit a potential roadblock, with Chelsea entering the race to sign Feyenoord’s highly-rated defender David Hancko. The Slovakian centre-back has been on the Bianconeri’s radar for some time, but the involvement of a Premier League powerhouse could complicate their pursuit. Reports from Juve Live indicate that new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is a strong admirer of Hancko and sees him as an ideal addition to his defensive setup. With Chelsea’s financial strength, the race for Hancko’s signature is expected to heat up, potentially driving the price up to around €50 million — an amount that could prove too steep for Juventus unless significant sales are made. What David Hancko brings to Juventus and Chelsea Juventus view Hancko as a player who perfectly aligns with Thiago Motta’s tactical vision. His ability to play out from the back and his natural left-footedness would add much-needed balance to the Bianconeri defense. The Slovak’s versatility is another major asset, he is comfortable both as a traditional center-back in a four-man defense and as a left-sided defender in a back three, making him an attractive option for Juventus. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest stems from their ongoing defensive restructuring. With injuries plaguing their backline in recent seasons, Hancko could provide stability and adaptability. His aerial strength, solid one-on-one defending, and composure on the ball make him a suitable addition for a Maresca-led Chelsea looking to build from the back. Will Juventus be priced out? While Juventus remain keen on securing Hancko, Chelsea’s financial advantage could be a decisive factor. The Turin giants may struggle to compete with the Blues in a bidding war unless they generate funds through player sales. The next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether Juventus can push forward with their pursuit or if they will be forced to explore alternative defensive targets. Hancko, on the other hand, must decide whether he prefers the challenge of Serie A under Thiago Motta or the allure of the Premier League with Chelsea. Both Juventus and Chelsea have compelling reasons to sign David Hancko, but the move makes more sense for Juventus. With an ageing defense and a tactical setup that requires defenders who can build from the back, Hancko would seamlessly fit into Motta’s system. However, Chelsea’s financial muscle gives them an advantage, and with Maresca looking to mold a new-look squad, Stamford Bridge could be an enticing destination. If Juventus can structure the deal smartly, they should push to secure Hancko’s services. However, if Chelsea decide to flex their financial power, the Bianconeri may have to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements.
  4. “That guy is amazing” – ESPN pundit Frank Lebouef has to eat his words over player he called “not good enough” https://Chelsea.news/2025/03/espn-pundit-eat-words-cucurella/ Frank Lebouef has been on his ESPN show this week with a big apology to Chelsea’s match winner from yesterday, Marc Cucurella: “I want to mention somebody because I was very harsh, very hard on him about two years ago. Cucurella. I call him Cucu the saviour! That’s what I call him. He’s become my idol! That guy is amazing: defensively, offensively. Cucu the saviour, I love you,” the former Blues defender said on ESPN. To remind you, these were his thoughts a year ago: “We don’t want to see Cucurella anymore. With all due respect to a man that I don’t know, the player is not good enough for Chelsea. It’s as simple as that. It’s crazy that they signed him for £60m, but we can see that he doesn’t belong to this level.” Lebouef isn’t the only person whose mind Cucurella has changed, especially in the last 12 months where a new role for Chelsea has suddenly unlocked the best parts of his game while shielding the worst. We would argue that there are still plenty of people who believe that, or at least a version of that. But in reality it’s not that Cucurella was ever a terrible player, he just has a very unusual profile which is outstanding in some things and not in others. He’s very good at the things he’s good at, but not so strong in others. The turnaround for Leboeuf had already begun last summer. We reported on his comments during the Euros where he admitted he had been impressed, and just questioned whether the full back could carry that form into the season with Chelsea. We reckon that he’s had his questions answered now!

  6. Chelsea Could Chelsea be at serious risk of losing Enzo Fernandez to Real Madrid this summer? He’s one of THREE top targets for the Spanish giants as they look to replace Eduardo Camavinga in midfield. David Hancko to Chelsea looks like one to watch, with some sources suggesting the Blues are now ahead of Liverpool and other Premier League clubs in the race for the Feyenoord defender’s signature.

  8. Exclusive: Jonathan David makes huge transfer decision amid Man United and Chelsea interest https://www.caughtoffside.com/2025/03/07/jonathan-david-man-united-transfers-newcastle-united-tottenham/ Lille’s Jonathan David is at the centre of a heated transfer battle as top European clubs vie for his signature this summer – but it’s the Premier League he wants, CaughtOffside understands. The 25-year-old Canadian international, whose contract with Lille is set to expire in June, has been in great form this season, netting 21 goals and providing ten assists. And as such, Premier League sides such as Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Newcastle United – who are bracing for approaches for Alexander Isak – have all expressed interest in acquiring David, we have been informed. Arsene Wenger gave me an Arsenal shirt after a deal was AGREED – which all-time great’s move to Arsenal fell through at the last minute? Despite previous approaches from clubs like Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United, David has set his sights on a move to a top-tier Premier League club, with the attacker rejecting them previously. Even still, as reported elsewhere, the Hammers are back in the race for David as they look to strengthen their attack. Cash-strapped Barcelona have also entered the fray, expressing interest in David as a potential successor to veteran forward Robert Lewandowski.

In the meantime, David remains focused on his commitments with Lille, aiming to finish the season on a high note. Earlier this campaign, he said to French outlet Onze Mondial, he said: “Yes, I will be free at the end of the season. And as for my future, I hope to grow, to become a better player, and to play for the biggest clubs in the world, if I can. “But first of all, I just want to have fun, never forget that football is fun. I started playing football because I had fun. And even though it has now become my job, you have to remember that I wake up every morning for football, for the pleasure of playing.”
  9. what is crazy is that Pool have only lost ONE EPL game all year, and that was 6 months ago BUT they can win their last 9 EPL games and still end up 3 points short of 100
