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 […]
How should Chelsea line up against Luton Town in the League Cup second round?
It’s a very busy first week of the season for Chelsea, with three games in the span of just seven days, Monday through Sunday. Thankfully, the middle game of the three is just a cup game against lower-league opposition, giving us an obvious opportunity to rotate the squad and manage the early workload while giving […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Real Sociedad Femenino, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Lineups & Game Thread
Chelsea Women’s new season starts on a new home ground for us with the Blues set to play cup matches — including continental ones — at Plough Lane in Wimbledon. It has almost twice Kingsmeadow’s capacity and hopefully it’ll into a fortress just as strong. This is also a good test for a squad with […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Real Sociedad Femenino, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch
It has been a while since we last saw the women in Blue take on the pitch. With an extremely short preseason schedule with matches in New Zealand and Australia earlier this month, Chelsea Women and manager Sonia Bompastor had two weeks to prepare for their official debut: the first leg of a Women’s Champions […]
Fulham 2-3 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Premium Ice
1. COLE PALMER (9.0) Chelsea’s new-look front three combined for five goal contributions across our three goals, with Palmer and João Pedro taking it in turns to set each other up for goals and Palmer also getting the secondary assist (unofficial stat) on Rogers’ goal. If they keep going at this rate, the “Cold” celebration […]

Deal Conte special Attentive
Nottingham Forest, Chelsea agree £45m Liam Delap transfer — report
Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have reportedly reached an agreement over the permanent transfer of Liam Delap, with the striker expected to undergo a medical in the next 24 hours. The fee is said to be around £45m, which would constitute a new club record for Forest and give Chelsea a tidy £15m profit on the […]
Aston Villa, Chelsea ‘open talks’ over £65m transfer for Nicolas Jackson — report
Aston Villa have been linked with Nicolas Jackson all summer, but it’s only now, in the final week of the transfer window that they have begun negotiations for the striker’s signature, reportedly proposing a £65m deal inclusive of all add-ons and bonuses and such. Chelsea were looking for £65m flat at least, per earlier reports. […]
Official: RC Strasbourg sign Omari Kellyman from Chelsea
Omari Kellyman’s time as a Chelsea player is over (at least for now), but the 20-year-old’s journey as a BlueCo line-item continues as he moves to RC Strasbourg on a permanent transfer. The move was made official today, booked at a reported €6m. That’s a steep discount on the over €20m Chelsea paid to Aston […]

Proposal Hmm Well
Xabi Alonso just wants the Enzo Fernández saga to be over
Chelsea tried to set a special deadline the other week and be proactive in finally settling the multi-month saga of Enzo Fernández’s future, but, predictably, that was hardly the last word in the story. Manchester City remain very much linked with our (former?) Vice-captain, presumably at a fee higher than the £120m demanded back then […]
Fulham 2-3 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Chelsea made a dream start to the game and to the season, pressing high on Fulham’s first possession, forcing a turnover, and Cole Palmer finding Joao Pedro to finish with aplomb, 1-v-1 with the goalkeeper. There were 31 seconds on the clock: the fastest goal in our Premier League history, the fastest first goal for […]
Fulham vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to the first day of the rest of our lives … or at least the first day of the new Premier League season! We begin our journey with a short drip down to the river, to play Fulham at Craven Cottage. It’s a West London Derby, so act accordingly (i.e. be nice). Xabi Alonso […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Fulham: Back to the back-three future!
We’re at the start of a brand new era under manager Xabi Alonso, and one of the major tactical questions that we need get answered is how the new man in charge will line up. Most may be expecting a back-three, but most certainly would prefer a back-three. For the WAGNH Community, that preference is […]

Fulham vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
The Premier League is back and it’s been quite a dramatic first weekend already, with plenty of surprises and late goals and home victories (seven of the eight games played so far) to get the new season, the 35th in the competition’s history, started right. It’s like we never left! Of course, we are hoping […]

Pushing Oof First time
Official: Napoli sign Benoît Badiashile on loan from Chelsea
Benoît Badiashile has completed his move to SSC Napoli, joining them for a season-long loan that could turn into a permanent transfer thanks to the included buy-option, reportedly set at €27m. Up front, Napoli are paying just €3+1m, in addition to covering all wages. It’s a decent bit of business for a player who’s been […]
How should Chelsea line up against Fulham to begin the new season?
We’re still over 48 hours away from Chelsea’s first game of the season, making the short journey to Craven Cottage for a bit of Monday Night Football, so until then, we can rest safely in the knowledge that we’re completely unbeaten and definitely going to have a great season. This will be Xabi Alonso’s first […]
Official: João Pedro signs new Chelsea contract
After a successful debut season that saw him become our first 20-goal striker in nearly a decade, João Pedro has today put pen to paper on a new contract, which now ties him to the club for the next eight years, through 2034. Of course, the length of the contract was never the crux of […]

Impressive Here we go Rejected
AS Roma submit official loan offer for Jamie Gittens — report
AS Roma are still looking for reinforcements on the wing — they were linked with Alejandro Garnacho earlier this window, for example — and are said to be “very interested” in Jamie Gittens, which is Calciomercato-speak for trying to get a deal and a steal via a loan. Ol’e HotDays himself, Alfredo Pedullà makes the […]
Chelsea reject Leeds United’s opening offer for the loan of Mykhailo Mudryk — report
Mykhailo Mudryk looks set to go on loan this season as he comes back to playing football following his 20-month ban for a doping charge that was eventually dropped, and it looks like there’s some decent bit of interest in the 25-year-old speedy winger. While Mudryk did take part in our preseason tour, it was […]
RC Strasbourg, Chelsea agree Deivid Washington transfer; Omari Kellyman, Dário Essugo could follow — report
Forgotten man Deivid Washington looks set to close the Chelsea chapter of his young career, having reportedly agreed a permanent move to sister-club RC Strasbourg. According to L’Equipe, the BlueCo beancounters are recording this as a €10m transaction, which is a fairly hefty valuation for a player with a grand total of three (3) senior […]
Shakhtar Donetsk to play Champions League ‘home’ games at Stamford Bridge this season
Shakhtar Donetsk, who have not been able to play games in actual Donetsk since 2014 (due to all the conflict in the region with Russia), have been looking for a stadium fit for Champions League football this season, and after many weeks of negotiations, and just a few weeks before the group stage begins, have […]
