A number of players could leave Chelsea this summer as Xabi Alonso looks to ring in the changes. And a lot of changes could be in store for the forward line, which massively underperformed last season. Fans will not have forgotten the run of games in which the Blues could not even score once. That […]
The season is over and we are already looking towards the future. Of course, if you are a Chelsea fan, there is not much to look back on fondly. The Blues finished 10th in the Premier League. And they did not win any form of silverware to salvage what was another poor display. This is […]
Chelsea will need to be very shrewd with how they handle their current squad this summer. They have a big roster, even though a good portion of them might never get to play under Xabi Alonso. Ideally, you would want the Spaniard to at least have a look at everybody, or as many as possible, […]
This summer transfer window is going to be a busy one for Chelsea. Xabi Alonso is set to arrive as manager and will hopefully be handed a squad capable of delivering the results that the fans are hoping for and competing with the likes of Arsenal. In order to ensure that, the Blues might need […]
It is no secret that Chelsea have actively scouted and recruited the best youngsters from all around the globe since the BlueCo takeover. That has been a large part of their transfer strategy. And while it clearly has not worked out as well as expected, that does not mean they need to abandon it completely. […]
It will be very interesting to see how Chelsea approach this summer transfer window. It has been mentioned that Xabi Alonso is going to have a lot of say, having been appointed as manager rather than head coach. But there are some decisions that might be out of his hands already. For instance, some might […]
One issue Chelsea have faced in recent times is that they have often been outdone by their rivals when it comes to the transfer market. In many ways, that is natural. The Blues have not had Champions League football most of the time lately. They are also not winning like they used to. And overall, […]
When you look at this Chelsea team from top to bottom, there are a lot of areas which could do with reinforcements. They were barely good enough to finish 10th in the Premier League and without any silverware. Those are not the standards that the fans have at Stamford Bridge. So, improvement is necessary. Xabi […]
Chelsea have a problem up top right now. Joao Pedro has enjoyed an excellent debut campaign. But other than him, there is no real outlet for goals there. Liam Delap scored just once in the Premier League. Marc Guiu’s loan spell at Sunderland was cut short but he proved to be pretty much a non-entity […]
Cole Palmer was regarded as one of the best players in the world not too long ago. After that performance against PSG in the Club World Cup final, as he scored twice and set up Joao Pedro’s goal in a 3-0 Chelsea win, many even started viewing the Englishman as a Ballon d’Or-level talent. But […]
The appointment of Xabi Alonso is the most positive news to come out of Chelsea since their Club World Cup win last summer. A lot of fans believe that this could be the move that finally gets the Blues back on track. It shows a clear shift in stance from BlueCo, that is for sure. […]
Pretty much every day, a new player seems to be linked with a move to Chelsea. Now, it looks like the name of a familiar face has been added to the rumour mill. It is someone who left Stamford Bridge not too long ago but is being viewed as a good fit for the football […]
