Given the current form of the team, it's no secret that Chelsea are still well invested in the transfer market. It's worth saying that the team's transfer business over the past handful of seasons has been far from illustrious, featuring the sales of Mohammed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne and the purchases of the likes...

Lampard IN
Two hundred and eleven goals in the blue of Chelsea. Thirteen trophies gathered during his playing career at Stamford Bridge. One European Cup won as captain of London’s finest. Countless memorable displays. Frank Lampard is not so much a part of Chelsea, as he is Chelsea itself. It is beyond this writer’s understanding that anyone... Continue Reading →
The U23s must be treated better soon or we will regret it
I was fuming. Absolutely fuming and I’ve only just started to calm down. I found out quite early that there would be no chances for any Chelsea debuts against Morecambe on the weekend, and that really was disappointing. This pretty much is going to be a rant as to why including none of Lewis Bate,... Continue Reading →
Chelsea January Transfer Window – Who could leave?
With the winter window being newly opened, its likely we see some activity from Chelsea Football Club to progress their plans for the squad. However, it seems the focus for the window may be offloading players from the large squad Chelsea now have rather than adding further depth and talent. Ahead of the Manchester City...

Can Kepa revive his career with a move away from Stamford Bridge?
Kepa Arrizabalaga is the perfect example of a panic buy. Chelsea were left with a vastly important decision to make following the unpleasant departure of Thibaut Courtois. A replacement had to be signed, and it had to be done fast. Then came the announcement that Chelsea had signed Athletic Bilbao keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. For many,... Continue Reading →
Christensen: From the next John Terry to defensive liability
When Chelsea’s ‘Captain, Leader, Legend’ himself picked a successor to his crown as the club’s leading centre half, fans everywhere sat up and took notice. So, when John Terry described Andreas Christensen as a ‘top footballer’ and ‘one of the future men for Chelsea’ back in 2014, many would have expected him to have nailed... Continue Reading →
Whether it’s Frank In or Frank Out, nothing should change at Chelsea
As January rolls into town, Chelsea are midway through their annual end-of-year tradition of handing out points to those who need it most and with that comes the inevitable rise of the "*Insert Manager Here* Out" brigade, singing festive hymns of reactionary takes and short term solutions. It is, of course, no surprise, that here... Continue Reading →
IF Chelsea decide to sack Super Frank, Ralph Hasenhüttl is the answer.
Image source: Bundesliga.com Chelsea are currently experiencing their worst run of form under Frank Lampard. This has pushed the club legend right to the top in the Premier League sack race, with The Athletic reporting that the club legend is on thin ice. Now, I’d personally never call for Frank’s head. He’s earned his bias... Continue Reading →

How Chilwell has emerged as Ashley Cole’s heir apparent
A few months ago I was convinced that the Chelsea hierarchy were making a huge mistake in targeting Ben Chilwell as the club’s next long-term left back. The position has been a major weakness in the squad since Ashley Cole left Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2014 (excluding two scintillating seasons of Marcos Alonso... Continue Reading →
Is it time that Olivier Giroud and Chelsea Part Ways?

Big Squad? Sure. Best Squad? No Chance.

Olivier Giroud – Chelsea’s underrated gunman
It is all but confirmed that Olivier Giroud is at the sunset of his time at Chelsea. The Frenchman who’s on the verge of leaving the club in the January transfer window needs to be playing regular football in order to secure his place in the French squad for the upcoming 2021 Euros. A career... Continue Reading →
Gilmour and Anjorin can offer us a lot in the next few months…
Yesterday's game certainly is going to back up a lot of what I'm about to say. Last night's challenge against Rennes clearly highlighted the problems we have in midfield. To an average Chelsea fan, or a supporter of another club, many would see the abudance in midfield and question me heavily as to why I'm... Continue Reading →

How Chelsea’s Hot Run of Form Is All Because of Edouard Mendy
Chelsea's season began on a positive note - a 3-1 win against Brighton away. The 1 goal conceded was dismissed mostly as a blip as snakebitten Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was lazily beaten from range by Brighton's Belgian forward Leandro Trossard. Understat.com gave Trossard's strike a 0.02 xG. This means that this attempt at goal... Continue Reading →
