With the club seemingly intent on signing every potential wonderkid over the last 3 years, @cfccentral.bsky.social has become my go-to resources for tempering expectations with signings based on his incredible scouting reports. Thanks for all your hard work!

@cfccentral.bsky.social Has been putting out amazing reports on signings and glad they made it here from the other site. Highly recommend reading this to better understand who Delap is as a player and giving a follow to track all the signings in what seems like will be a busy summer

8 goals in the last 6 PL games & yet CFC won 5 – most of them without a CF or without the talismanic gifts of Cole Palmer, who went 22 PL games without a goal or assist, compared to just 14 last season. An 11th clean-sheet is Chelsea’s best tally since 21/22. londonisblue.beehiiv.com/p/london-is-...

Enzo Maresca's Italian job steals Wood away from Forest and brings Champions League back to Stamford Bridge.

First on the agenda: the conundrum that is Emanuel Emegha. His 14-goal season and attention-grabbing profile are attracting interest from some of Europe's top teams, but is the Strasbourg striker ready to make such a leap? Ashwin gives us his assessment.

Wanna score goals in transition? Sign Emanuel Emegha

Clubs are lining up for the Strasbourg striker. Who should pull the trigger?

In the 2nd half, Chelsea had nearly twice the passes (311-158.) CFC won more than twice the ground duels (26 to 12) & thrice the aerials (9 to 3.) This was not Newcastle surrendering the initiative; this was Chelsea snatching it away. Newcastle Review: londonisblue.beehiiv.com/p/london-is-...

Is Nicolas Jackson good enough to lead the line for Chelsea for a third season? If not, what is he missing (except big chances?)

That's it for the 2024-25 academy season at Chelsea, my 19th season watching at these levels. 70+ matches, ups and downs, good and bad, thanks to everyone who made it what it was, especially the many I know in person, you know who you are. Many more thoughts to come.

There was this one moment from the left when Nkunku passed to Reece and made a really nice run into the box beyond the last line and Reece just passed it back. Those are the kind of risks you need to take against 5-4-1s, which we haven't done enough this season.
