Opinion: Chelsea have missed Reece James so much he will be like the best January signing

It looks like Chelsea are going through the January transfer window having not signed anyone at all, all bar a slight chance of some late drama of course which can always happen. But they’ve been linked with a number of different targets over the last month, but seemingly instead spent the entire time trying to […]

Opinion: Frank Lampard is a good fit for Everton but they must show more patience

Some people would even say that Chelsea should have shown more patience with Frank Lampard, but ironically I am here to tell Everton that IF they do appoint Frank Lampard as their next manager, they simply MUST be patient. I think Lampard is a good up and coming young coach, and one who will get […]

Thomas Tuchel will be tempted to stick with back 4 until Reece James returns – Opinion

Chelsea lined up against Tottenham on Sunday in what Thomas Tuchel called a 4-1-4-1 formation. After sticking firmly to a back three for the first 11 months of his time at the club, the manager has started using a back 4 in recent weeks, as injuries and bad form force him to try new solutions. […]

Opinion: Chelsea’s 4-1-4-1 formation allows certain players to thrive

Thomas Tuchel decided to surprise everyone on Sunday afternoon by lining up in yet another different formation for the first time as a starting Xl since he’s been Chelsea manager.

Opinion: Tuchel’s tiredness comments prove a Chilwell replacement should have been sourced by now

Chelsea are in a tough place right now after a run of poor performances and bad results. After watching the draw with Brighton this week you got a real sense of feeling that something just wasn’t right.

Opinion: It seems inevitable that Chelsea are recalling Emerson Palmieri

Out of all the players we have seen linked with Chelsea to come in and replace Ben Chilwell this month, it is the recall of Emerson Palmieri that has always felt the most likely. Even though Chelsea will have to fork out a small compensation fee, he has always been seen as the easiest and […]

Opinion: Chelsea shouldn’t even be entertaining talks to sell Armando Broja let alone having them

Opinion: Armando Broja must simply be Chelsea’s future and not another club mistake

We’ve all seen it before at Chelsea, too many times for my liking, highly rated young players allowed to leave the club being sold for money, and then the club end up regretting it. They had Romelu Lukaku as an 18-year old, and ended up signing him back for £100m this summer. Mo Salah was […]

Opinion: Jude Bellingham’s name being thrown into the Chelsea mix is a top option for the club

The midfield area is one area that Chelsea look to be prioritising improving in the summer. Particularly players who can play in a deeper role as well as a more advanced position. The main names linked over recent months is of course Declan Rice and Aurelien Tchouameni. But one name I am pleased to hear […]

Opinion: Chelsea must pull their fingers out and move for Lucas Digne

I was quite surprised this afternoon to see that Chelsea had still not opened ‘official talks’ with Everton to sign Lucas Digne. I understand that enquiries have been made by Chelsea for Digne, but as of now Everton were saying they would only consider a permanent move and Chelsea want a loan deal with perhaps […]
