Conor Gallagher and Jorginho: where to go from here

Now that Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling are on their way to Merseyside, Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel have a few important decisions to make. The Blues finally have options to consider, and the fight for coveted caps is far from over. Conor Gallagher and Jorginho are among those eyeing regular time on the pitch, and […]

Opinion: Armando Broja has to start for Chelsea on Friday

I'd have had the above view anyway regardless, but there are more reasons creeping in now to say that simply, Armando Broja must start Chelsea's pre-season friendly against Udinese this Friday, as long as he is fully fit. https://twitter.com/siphillipssport/status/1552171263682121729?s=20&t=v6Jo1p2GP01NRHaxEHSJzQ If he isn't fit to go from the off but is ready for some game time […]

Opinion: Chelsea could take advantage Frenkie De Jong’s crazy situation

I want to start this by saying that even though I am writing the below article, I still think that Chelsea signing Frenkie De Jong this summer is highly unlikely for many reasons. However, it is something that COULD happen, and is something that we know has probably already been explored by Chelsea recently, and […]

Opinion: Chelsea with a mess to clear up and little time to do it

Despite making two very good signings so far this transfer window, Chelsea are very much in danger right now of heading into a new season in a really bad place. Being thrashed 4-0 by Arsenal at the weekend and Thomas Tuchel's comments regarding a lack of signings so far and having to use the same […]

Charlotte vs Chelsea – Storm in a teacup? Key Takeaways

Following the Blues’ Viva Las Vegas victory against Club America a few days ago, Tuchel’s troops travelled to North Carolina to take on Charlotte FC at Bank of America Stadium. Prior to the match there were delays as a result of some severe storms which in hindsight perfectly foreshadowed what was to come from the […]

Opinion: Impressive show of intent if Chelsea get Kounde done

If the multiple reports over the last 24 hours are correct, Chelsea are closing in on a deal to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla. Whilst I am going to refrain from celebrating just yet, with Barcelona still hovering around in the background, it does seem like this is one that could/should get done now. If […]

Opinion: Chelsea should experiment a 4-3-3 with Ampadu as DM this week

In my humble opinion, this week presents Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel with a perfect opportunity to test out a new formation. We have been hearing for some time now that Tuchel is keen to switch to a back four as his main setup for Chelsea moving forward, yet he hasn't had the personnel to really […]

Opinion: Chelsea need to sign an ST if Broja goes

First of all, I was very surprised to see the news come in today regarding Armando Broja potentially leaving Chelsea this summer. As you can see from the report below, he returned from Chelsea's pre-season trip to America to sort out a move to West Ham, who appear to be closing in on the deal […]

Opinion: Koulibaly and Sterling must be classed as elite statement signings for Chelsea

I get that everyone has their own opinion on what is and what is not to be classed as a statement signing in football. But for me, Chelsea signing Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, hopefully in the space of a few days, can only be deemed as a massive statement. I think there is even […]

Opinion: Koulibaly would not be a replacement, he’d be an improvement

It looks like Chelsea are closing in on signing Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly this summer in a deal reported to be around £34m. Whilst reports are stating it is not a done deal yet, it does appear to be advancing quick now this one. https://twitter.com/siphillipssport/status/1546860100048019456?s=20&t=bdebAVLvcSJi5rEjs2rbIg For me, I was absolutely buzzing to hear this news […]

Opinion: Two reasons Blues fans should be pleased to miss out on Raphinha

I want to start by saying that if Chelsea signed Raphinha and he joined us this summer, I'd be OK with that. I rate him as a player, and of course I'd have been pleased if a top-quality player joins our club. However, I've also remained vocal in the fact that I didn't want to […]

Opinion: A new CM only makes sense at Chelsea if vast departures

We have actually been seeing quite a few Chelsea links with new centre-midfielders this summer, and some quite surprising names coming up. Declan Rice was always reported by very strong sources that he is Chelsea’s main target in the middle, and Thomas Tuchel really wants him. But apparently, he looks near impossible to sign this […]

Opinion: Raheem Sterling will provide boost for Chelsea and hopefully kickstart transfer window

Raheem Sterling’s move to Chelsea from Manchester City is now very close, with the final details just left to tie up. It’s been a long time coming, and Chelsea’s transfer window so far can be described as a little laboured. But it looks like we will soon be welcoming our first signing of the summer […]

Chelsea face unprecedented two months of transfers after slow start to window

This summer feels like it has only just begun, and last summer is still fresh in the memory, but today saw Thomas Tuchel return to take his first preseason training session at Cobham, and there’s no surer sign that we’re into the new campaign than seeing the coach in his new edition training kit with […]

Chelsea should take it slow and steady rather than try and rush for the title this year

For football fans, this time of year is a funny time. There are no games on, and you’re longing for the season to restart, but at the same time, the news is coming thick and fast. The transfer market is in full flow, and teams across Europe are making decisive moves for managers and players. […]
