Over the past 24 hours, it has become abundantly clear that Xabi Alonso is the leading candidate to become the next Chelsea manager. The Spaniard is without a club at the moment, having been sacked by Real Madrid in the middle of the season. And it looks like the BlueCo chiefs are serious about bringing […]
When Estevao picked up the injury against Manchester United, it immediately raised questions about his place at the upcoming World Cup. Then Chelsea manager, Liam Rosenior, revealed in the post-match interview that the winger had been in tears in the dressing room. And it is not hard to understand why that might have been the […]
The Xabi Alonso to Chelsea rumours have been heating up over the past couple of days. We had covered reports last week of there being positive talks between the two camps.

It feels like the Xabi Alonso to Chelsea story has moved up a few gears over the past 24 hours or so. There has been mention of interest for the last several days but now, it feels like that is becoming more concrete. Otherwise, so much news would not come out, from several reliable sources, […]

Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva, perhaps even Cesc Fabregas, were viewed as realistic targets while the former Real Madrid boss […]
It feels like we have covered Xabi Alonso a lot over the last few days. And there is a good reason for that. The rumours surrounding the Spanish manager and Chelsea seem to be growing consistently. That is a good sign if you want him in the Stamford Bridge hot seat. Now, even the most […]
With so much information out there in the media today, it is hard to differentiate between the right and the wrong. But when the momentum seems to be heading in one direction and several outlets start reporting pretty much the same thing, more often than not, it is correct. That might very well be the […]
Who will be the next manager of Chelsea Football Club? We do not know yet, although a clear shortlist is starting to emerge. When will the appointment be made? Well, it looks like now we have an answer to that question. And it is one that the fans will be happy with and feel like […]
A lot has been made of Chelsea signing players with experience in a top-five league as well as in European competitions. That would be a tweak to their current strategy, which has revolved around bringing in one high-potential youngster after another to Stamford Bridge. Some of those additions have worked out. But for the most […]
Chelsea need to strengthen all across the pitch in this upcoming summer transfer window. Their defence has been a major problem for them.
