Official: Chelsea sign Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa

Chelsea announced the signing of Emiliano Martínez this morning, doing so just hours before today’s game against Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge … in which, as it turns out, the 33-year-old goalkeeper is already starting! So we must have actually gotten the deal done by Friday’s registration deadline. Either way, he’s here and […]

Chelsea vs. Brighton, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread

Welcome to Stamford Bridge; hope you’re having a lovely afternoon, morning, evening, time-of-day in your location. Hopefully the next couple hours don’t make things less lovely. Brighton have had a habit of doing just that; in fact we’ve lost four in a row to them. Can Xabi Alonso change that? Or maybe Emi Martínez can? […]

How should Chelsea line up against Brighton & Hove Albion?

It’s a busy time of the year for both Chelsea and yours truly, and we have yet another game in less than 24 hours. It’s our home opener for the Premier League season, with Brighton & Hove Albion coming to town for a Sunday afternoon kickabout. Xabi Alonso has won his first two games in […]

Chelsea 2-0 Luton Town, Player Ratings: Barco in Blue

1. VALENTÍN BARCO (7.8) Last time we saw Valentín Barco in a competitive setting, he was getting his neck wrung by Jude Bellingham, after England’s defeat in the World Cup semifinals. Barco didn’t actually play in that game (was an unused substitute), but he got a bit carried away in his goal celebrations, which irked […]

Official: Aston Villa sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea

Nicolas Jackson moved permanently to Aston Villa yesterday, completing the transfer that had been expected for much of the past two months. The financial package we’ve received in compensation is reportedly worth £65m £65, though only about three-quarters of that (£47.5m) is being paid up front. The rest are tied to various bonuses and add-ons, […]

Chelsea agree front-of-shirt sponsorship with Circle Internet Group

Friday was a momentous day in the history of BlueCo Chelsea. Believe it or not, we finally got a proper front-of-shirt sponsor! I know! Absolutely unfathomable. And not just for the last few weeks or months of the season, almost right from the very start! (Well, other than the first two games but who’s counting?) […]

Official: Real Sociedad sign Mamadou Sarr on loan from Chelsea

Last summer defender Mamadou Sarr joined Chelsea from sister club Strasbourg after an impressive season with the French outfit. Even on the back of a half-season loan with his former club where he kept up solid outings, Sarr failed to reproduce the same kind of form at Stamford Bridge and had very few chances to […]

Chelsea 2-0 Luton Town, League Cup: Post-match reaction, ratings

It was attack versus defense from minute one to minute last, though we were made to wait for a while for the Chelsea breakthrough. That breakthrough would eventually come from the simplest of plays: a nice cross from Malo Gusto putting the ball onto Danny Welbeck’s head, and the debutant making no mistake just as […]

Chelsea, Aston Villa agree £7.5m Emiliano Martínez transfer — report

Just one day after Chelsea were first reported to be in talks over Emiliano Martínez, the Blues have now agreed a deal with Aston Villa for the goalkeeper. According to Matt Law, Chelsea will pay just £7.5m for the 33-year-old, who is set to join on a permanent transfer.  That fee looks might look low […]

Chelsea vs. Luton Town, League Cup: Confirmed lineups; how to watch

The skies are blue and so is the colour. Let’s get some Carabao in our cup. League One side Luton Town are in … town. Xabi Alonso has rotated a bit, though not nearly as much as one might have expected given the opposition and our game last Monday and the Sunday coming up. Palmer, […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Luton Town: Can he play wing-back?

One of the legendary moments of our last title-winning campaign (now ten years ago, sadly) was the transformation of Victor Moses from a winger to a wing-back, to better fit into Antonio Conte’s 3-4-3 system. Could something similar happen to one of the many young wingers in the squad this season? Many have suggested that […]

Official: Nottingham Forest sign Liam Delap from Chelsea

Turns out we’re not that bad in this transfer window business. Only a year after joining Chelsea from Ipswich Town, 23-year-old striker Liam Delap left the club today on a permanent transfer to Nottingham Forest. He joins the Garibaldis on a five-year contract. Delap came from Ipswich Town to Chelsea after we activated his release […]

Chelsea vs. Luton Town, League Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch

With no European football on the menu this season, we get the consolation prize of one extra game in the League Cup, having to contest the competition’s second round already as opposed to our usual entry in the next round. Thankfully, this extra game is at home and it’s against lower league opposition. One would […]

Leeds United to face winners of Chelsea vs. Luton Town in League Cup third round

It will be a rematch of last year’s FA Cup semifinal in the third round of the League Cup, should Chelsea progress past Luton Town tomorrow night in the second round of the competition. That’s certainly a juicy matchup with plenty of recent and ancient history to it, especially as it would be played at […]

Aston Villa, Chelsea agree Nicolas Jackson transfer — reports

It’s been expected for a while, but now it looks to be happening for sure. According to multiple reports, including from The Athletic, Aston Villa and Chelsea have reached an agreement for the transfer of Nicolas Jackson. The overall value of the deal is said to be £65m, breaking down into a flat fee of […]

Chelsea, Aston Villa ‘in talks’ over Emiliano Martínez transfer — reports

Xabi Alonso seemed willing to give Robert Sánchez one more chance to prove himself as the starting goalkeeper we need, and not just deserve, but Bob’s disastrous display on Monday night has prompted a quick change of mind from the manager. The Telegraph report that Alonso is “prioritising” the acquisition of a new goalkeeper before […]

Official: Crystal Palace sign Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea

Axel Disasi has completed his loan move to Crystal Palace, joining the Eagles for the season ahead, and hoping to take flight with them in both the Premier League and the Europa League under new manager Pierre Sage. I think we all would’ve preferred a more permanent arrangement, but it is what it is: a […]
