Xabi Alonso will know that he has a lot of work to do to get Chelsea back on track. Despite spending north of a billion pounds, BlueCo have somehow assembled a squad that can’t even qualify for the Champions League consistently. They have missed in three of the last four seasons. Those are not the […]
This summer promises to be a new beginning for Chelsea Football Club. It does feel like BlueCo have recognised, accepted and are now trying to work on their mistakes. The decision to bring in XabI Alonso is the first indication of that. In the past, it is very likely that they would passed on the […]
There are two things that Chelsea need to aim for this summer. Firstly, they need to bring in quality and not just add numbers to the squad. So, players who are good enough to start from day one. Secondly, they need to sign people who fit Xabi Alonso’s plans. Otherwise, there is not much point […]
It will be very interesting to see how Xabi Alonso handles this Chelsea squad next season. The initial reports suggest that the Spaniard is a fan of the talent already present at the club. But there is also a recognition that some proven, experienced players need to be brought in to take things to the […]
Chelsea will surely be looking to strengthen their centre-back ranks this summer. That has been one of their main weaknesses this season. Levi Colwill suffered an ACL injury in pre-season training and has missed the majority of the campaign. His recent return has significantly improved the Blues’ defence.

There is all this talk about players like Cole Palmer, Estevao, Joao Pedro and Moises Caicedo. Yes, they have had their ups and downs. But there is a recognition of their talent and potential. One who does not often get those same flowers is Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine, once brought in as the face of […]
Manchester City have dominated English football for the past decade under Pep Guardiola. But the winds of change are blowing at the club. The Spanish tactician is set to leave this summer. And a few of their legends will head for the exit door alongside him. Chelsea could end up taking advantage of that. Of […]
The main focus for Chelsea this summer has to be strengthening the squad. But unfortunately, at the moment, far too many players are being linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge. First, it was Enzo Fernandez, who has never openly ruled out the possibility, even though the noise has faded away with time. Lately, Joao […]
Over the last couple of months, there has been talk about Chelsea trying to sign proven Premier League names. That would be a shift away from their usual strategy of signing as many youngsters as possible, in hopes that some develop into quality senior players. But a change is exactly what the Blues need after […]
Xabi Alonso becoming the next Chelsea manager has lifted the mood of the fanbase instantly. He is the one that the majority wanted. And BlueCo have gone out and gotten him. Now, the time has come for them to back him in the summer transfer window. That could mean signing one of his favourites from […]
It is safe to say that Chelsea need to strengthen their roster this summer, with Xabi Alonso arriving. The Blues most definitely need to be scoring more often. The 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur was the first game in which they scored more than once since their March 5 victory over Aston Villa. Incidentally, this […]
With Xabi Alonso set to come in, there is a ton of excitement around Chelsea right now. For the first time in the BlueCo era, they have made the popular choice when it comes to appointing a manager. Now, it remains to be seen if it is the correct one. Going into the summer transfer […]
