Opinion: I’d not rule out a big marquee signing for Chelsea

We are into the final couple of days of this summer's transfer window, and there is a real sense that Todd Boehly and co are not done at Chelsea yet. We expect Wesley Fofana to be confirmed officially soon by the club, and then Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is also expected to arrive. After that? Who […]

Opinion: Aubameyang might be 33, but he’s Tuchel’s short-term fix

It looks like Chelsea are now very close to signing Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this window. https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1562773750281805824?s=20&t=m0Dza27oi-r3-buBgbu-7Q It looks like he played his final game for the club last night in a charity match against Manchester City, a game in which he scored a very good goal in. This goal also just shows exactly what […]

Opinion: Good time and good club for Hudson-Odoi loan move

The time is right for Callum Hudson-Odoi to move on from Chelsea and find a new club, for one season only at least. I have total faith in the player and that he will become the world beater that we have all expected him to become. But to do this, he needs to play regular […]

Opinion: Injury crisis proves Chelsea must stop ignoring the elephant in the room

How on earth have we reached game week 3 and be in an injury crisis already? Well, unfortunately you only needed to look into recent history to be able to see that this was always likely to happen. You simply cannot ignore the fact that both N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic have become injury prone, […]

Chelsea’s crumbling top 4 odds show season is in trouble before August is out

This time a year ago, Chelsea were top of the table, and it's easy to forget that they kept that position almost until Christmas. So even after a late season slip in form, it should be no surprise that Thomas Tuchel's group were among the favourites to at the very least finish in the top […]

Opinion: Tuchel has done enough for Chelsea fans to continue backing him

I want to begin by saying that Thomas Tuchel should not be immune to criticism. Nobody is perfect. I encourage people to analyse things entirely and collectively. There is never going to be just one reason or one thing to blame after getting thrashed 3-0 by Leeds United, there will always be a number of […]

Opinion: Chelsea could use a formal Fofana transfer request

The chances are that Wesley Fofana has probably already handed in a transfer request at Leicester, it is at least very clear what his intentions are, and I am adamant that he would have made that known to the club and to his manager. But I think what Chelsea really need right now is for […]

Opinion: Ben Chilwell might fear for his Chelsea role

Personally, if I am Ben Chilwell right now, I would be looking at the situation with a bit of fear in my mind. Chelsea have just spent £60m odd on signing a world class new left wing-back, a player who in my opinion, is better than Chilwell, and I highly rate Chilwell. Of course, Marc […]

Opinion: At the moment, I’m just backing Thomas Tuchel with transfers

I think the very least Thomas Tuchel has done during his Chelsea reign so far is deserve the chance for Chelsea fans to trust him with transfers this summer, no matter what we might think of some of the named targets. Of course, like you, I am just a fan of Chelsea, a lifelong fan. […]

Opinion: Chelsea should prioritise a CM

I was saying this even before N'Golo Kante got injured yet again on Sunday by the way, but it's even more relevant now, Chelsea should be prioritising signing a new specialist centre midfielder who can play in the deeper six role in the latter end of this window. Perhaps this is why we are seeing […]

Opinion: Raheem Sterling the leader that Chelsea needed

Raheem Sterling sat in front of the media this afternoon at Cobham to take his first official Chelsea press conference as a Blue. It was a great interview and really showed that Chelsea not only signed a quality player, but they have also signed a very level-headed leader. I had my doubts over Sterling when […]

Opinion: Thomas Tuchel building his future midfield

Thomas Tuchel is not only building a squad this summer to attempt to challenge at the top again, I believe he is building a squad, or more specifically, a midfield, for the future. We know Chelsea's issues, we have an ageing midfield pair of Jorginho and N'Golo Kante, who are both now into the final […]

Opinion: Chelsea building for the future

I think it's plainly obvious when you look at our transfer activity, that Chelsea are looking to build for the future as well as the now. It's clear that Thomas Tuchel doesn't have full confidence with his full squad right now, hence we are seeing his desire to sign experienced players, as well as keep […]

Opinion: Chelsea wisely moving players on

Today has seen some good news at Chelsea regarding developing outgoing moves, something that we have been wanting to see here now for weeks. It's been all arrivals so far, bar Romelu Lukaku, which was the first done deal of our summer window. Whilst the arrivals have been exciting and great signings, it is wise […]

Opinion: New Chelsea owners already showing positive new direction

Chelsea announced their third summer signing for the men's team this morning in the shape of Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa. The 18-year-old England youth international is one of the most highly rated players in the game coming up through the ranks, and he already got into double figures for appearances for Villa's first team […]

Opinion: How Chelsea might line-up in a 3-5-2

If you managed to catch the Kalidou Koulibaly press conference this afternoon, then you may well have also noticed this snippet. When asked about adapting to a new club, he mentioned that he needs to adapt to playing a new formation, the 3-5-2. Notice, he quite specifically said this setup rather than the 3-4-3, which […]

Opinion: Chelsea potentially heading for a 10/10 transfer window

Chelsea are making a late surge in the summer transfer window, the type of surge that could actually end up seeing them have a 10/10 transfer window. Concerns have been growing with just how much work we had/have left to do this window, with many players still wanting to leave, and Thomas Tuchel still wanting […]

Opinion: Chelsea also need to address the attack

Today has been a crazy day so far for Chelsea transfer news, and it still has many hours left in it at the time of writing this. The focus is the defence, and Chelsea are seemingly working hard and advancing in talks to sign Marc Cucurella from Brighton, and Wesley Fofana from Leicester City, although […]
