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...

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 →
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 →
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...

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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →

It's the end of the year, a terrible year for many. Perhaps not that bad of a year for Chelsea, though. It's a time to look back at the last 12 months and reflect, and try and and learn as much as possible for the next year. I spoke to 8 writers at The Chelsea... Continue Reading →

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 →
