wer are regressing as the half rolls on

pretty good had a superb long diagonal pass that Estevao should have put away for a goal

sloppy passing by us

the next round all games have both VAR and goal-line tech

that is true but you would think they could at least (not VAR) bring in goal-line tech just temp for the parks that do not have it

ok, it was a no goal

it looked like the ball crossed the line madness to not have goal-line tech

there is no VAR and no goal-line tech

ffs we should be up nil 2

wtf Delap

what a pass by Sarr

damn should have scored

disastrous draw

ffs, how did Cole miss

never easy for us

ffs pen for Leeds

2 nil let's get that 3rd

woot pen

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Barca is deffo his preferred destination from what I have seen lately it makes sense IMHO he is made to order for their system under Flick In terms of proven world class CFs, Lautaro Martínez, and Victor Osimhen are the only 2 remotely possible, maybe available options IMHO, plus maybe (IF they sell him) Isak (big gamble), pluxs (pure stop-gap as he will be 38yo), Lewa, but why would he ever want to come here Harry Kane would very likely never ever come here, IF (they would be crazy to sell him, but who knows) Bayern sell him some here love to say *OMG just get a proven world class CF', but they just are not out there, other than the ones I have listed for so so long

Chelsea player now rated as “very likely” to be out of the Blues’ project this summer By Simon Phillips - 9th Feb 2026, 06:30am https://Chelsea.news/2026/02/Chelsea-player-now-rated-as-very-likely-to-be-out-of-the-blues-project-this-summer/ Chelsea centre back Benoit Badiashile is now rated as “very likely” to be out of the Blues’ project ahead of the summer window. The Blues are already being linked to possible new summer transfer targets and actually, I’ve had info on a huge shortlist of players that they are courting ahead of the summer window, which I have been releasing exclusively on my website over the last 7 days or so. As well as this, Chelsea have been strongly linked with former Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez this week, with reports suggesting they are advancing to sign him after holding positive talks with his reps. As always with the summer window though, we will be hearing all sorts of rumours and stories in the lead up to it, so we will have to wait and see what happens in the summer as to where we will be at with Chelsea’s squad come the end of it. There has also been fresh Chelsea links to Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa, a player who is consistently linked with The Blues and Fabrizio Romano is now teasing a potential move again with this fresh story.

Interest is named as coming in from AC Milan, Juventus, and Marseille ahead of the summer window, as he’s set to be made available for around €35m this summer. Chelsea consider Badiashile out of their project and will ideally look to sell him permanently rather than loaning him out. Never been good enough I’ve never overly rated Badiashile and I don’t believe he has ever been good enough to be playing at the heart of The Blues defence. I think it will be good to move him on now and I’m surprised he lasted this long.

Chelsea are interested in signing the Argentine ace Valentín Barco from RC Strasbourg. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2026/02/08/liam-rosenior-wants-valentin-barco-Chelsea/ According to a report from Bolavip, the newly appointed Chelsea manager has requested that the club hierarchy sign the player. He worked with Barco during their time together at the French club, and he is well aware of the South American’s quality and potential. He has informed the Chelsea hierarchy: “I want Valentín Barco back.” Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca was keen on Barco as well. Can Chelsea land Valentin Barco? It will be interesting to see if Chelsea is willing to make a move for him at the end of the season. There is no doubt that they could use more quality and depth in the squad, and the Argentine would be ideal. He is a tremendous player with a bright future and could become a key player for the club with the right guidance. The opportunity to reunite with Rosenior and join one of the world’s biggest clubs will be quite exciting for the South American. It could be the ideal next step in his career. Regular exposure to the Premier League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential. Chelsea could use Barco Strasbourg are owned by BlueCo, the same parent company that owns Chelsea. Therefore, it is fair to assume that an agreement could be reached easily. The 21-year-old is versatile enough to operate as a left back, a central midfielder, or a wide player. He could be the ideal utility man for Chelsea. If he manages to fulfil his potential with them, the deal could look like a masterstroke in future. Barco has one goal and four assists to his name in Ligue 1 this season, and he would only improve with coaching and experience. He is well-versed with Rosenior’s system, and he could settle quickly and make an immediate impact.
