While all the media attention has been focused on Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, there have been other players linked with a move to Chelsea. This rumour will certainly wipe that smirk Tottenham Hotspur fans have on their face while seeing the events of the Fabregas saga unfold. They always like Arsenal fans going into a major meltdown, which is exactly what is happening at the moment.
If I had a pound for the amount of times I’ve talked about the striker situation at Chelsea, I wouldn’t need to rent anymore. Anyway, with rumours emerging everyday about different strikers wanting in and the same strikers wanting out, it’s difficult to keep a track of everything. But, what is clear is that Diego Costa will don the blue colours of Chelsea next season. Smart business from Jose Mourinho, however, Atletico Madrid want a little something back.
The highly likely transfer of Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona to Chelsea have sent Arsenal fans into a meltdown as I have witnessed first-hand in the world of Twitter. Some claiming Fabregas have stabbed them and Arsene Wenger in the back. Others have attacked Wenger himself, calling him a ‘dithering man’ which basically means that he holds back on a move for a player for so long that someone else eventually comes in and signs that player up. As we know with Wenger, he always has a different option and a surprise up his sleeve so he must be planning something big if he has turned Cesc down.
The Champions League semi-final was a tense affair, fought between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid. After the first leg, the game hanged perfectly in the balance. After a series of fine saves from Thibaut Courtois, Madrid went on to beat the Blues and progress to the final. A jubilant Courtois was at the centre of the … Read more
Most football fans in the world know Eden Hazard, but far less know about his brother Thorgan. Younger I will add, but very similar to each other. While Eden’s career sky-rocketed at the age of 21, Thorgan’s has stagnated somewhat after he joined Chelsea back in 2012. The young Belgian prodigy has never played for Chelsea and hasn’t even been a part of their team roster after being loaned out to Zulte-Waregem for the past couple of seasons.
Chelsea are infamous for buying players, hardly using them and then struggle to sell them on to other clubs. It’s rude to name names, but for the sake of this article I will mention one. Marko Marin. The player joined the Blues back in the summer of 2012, but has only made two starts in the Premier League which forced the club to send the German on loan to try and prove himself to the Chelsea hierarchy. Or at the very least, the Sevilla staff.
I remember talking about Eden Hazard a while back when he was strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint Germain and writing something along the lines of the potential stupidity of Jose Mourinho for letting his Belgian star go. Highlighting the case of Juan Mata to support my point of Mourinho not being afraid to let the star player go if he doesn’t fit his system. Thankfully, I won’t be calling the Blues boss stupid any time soon as Hazard has dropped a huge hint he’ll be remaining at the club for the foreseeable future.
The tabloids already seem to be bored with the departure of Frank Lampard and have now turned their attention to replacements for him. There is quite a list developing as each and every publication in Europe is coming up with someone new every other day. Every so often this player is picked up by other tabloids and suddenly a frenzy is created around him. Then a number of other clubs are thrown into the mix to create a really juicy saga.
The man, the legend, the star and the main midfielder for 13 years is set to leave Stamford Bridge as he looks for a fresh start at a new club. If you haven’t heard about the departure of Frank Lampard, I suggest you come out from under your rock. Every tabloid in Britain is paying tribute to Lampard who will be leaving Chelsea this summer after months of speculation. At one point it was believed he would sign a new contract.
