Opinion: Chelsea will find it near impossible to sign both Rice and Bellingham

I just cannot see Chelsea signing Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice, despite reading reports that they want to sign both. And I don't even think the money would be an issue. We know the ambition that our new owners have, and we know that they won't be afraid to dip into their pockets, but I […]

Opinion: Ethan Ampadu knocking on Graham Potter’s door

I've always rated Ethan Ampadu highly and believed in his ability. Of course, he has had stuttering moments during his development, but he’s actually largely been consistently performing at a good level. Ampadu has been at Chelsea since 2017 and this season he is out on his fourth loan move with Spezia. But is it […]

Opinion: Graham Potter needs to follow Southgate’s example at Chelsea

I have been critical of Gareth Southgate in the past, and I'm not one of those who blindly rate him as a manager. But credit where it's due, and today, he is due some credit. Seriously though, I never thought I'd be writing that title for an article! I've always held the belief that this […]

January could certainly look a lot less gloomy for us, but going into the World Cup, […]

Thiago Silva doesn’t need to dope to be the best around

Thiago Silva is 38 and still going strong. The defender remains one the best players in the Premier League despite now being one of the oldest, and every week we're left marvelling at how good he is, even at his age. The Premier League drugs testers have clearly been wondering the same thing. After the […]

Opinion: Chelsea should stick with back four

Chelsea beat Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday evening after going a goal down early in the game. It was yet again another new formation from Graham Potter, lining up with a back four. This has and always will be my preferred line-up, and I really hope that Potter has seen the […]

Opinion: Ambition at Chelsea is admirable, but smart business is way forward

Chelsea are continuing to be linked with all the big names in football as the new owners continue with their big squad rebuild and attempts to get Chelsea back to the very top of the game again. As Chelsea fans, we don't get too excited about these kinds of links, because we remember the same […]
