The Bluez-English

According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea could make an offer of up to £43.7m for Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi in the January transfer window.

The Blues could then loan the 18-year-old to Strasbourg.

If there is any team that will stop Villa, it's Chelsea. Tactically, Maresca always get better of him. I expect us to go man-marking against them.

We have our key players available and a week to prepare the game. I'm backing us to win the game.

🗣️ Paul Merson: “I watched Garnacho against Miley, Miley’s not a full-back. Just showed Garnacho down the line every time, he didn’t know what to do.”

Who did we offend? 😭

🗣️ Alan Shearer: "If you ever need evidence of goals changing games, that’s exactly what happened to Chelsea following Reece James’ free-kick,’ Newcastle icon Shearer told the Premier League website after the draw between the clubs.

It just flipped. Newcastle couldn’t get near that Chelsea team [after James’ goal]. Chelsea moved it a lot quicker, they had more width, their wingers got into the game and started asking questions, they didn’t do that in the first half."

Chelsea FC existed before and after these owners, this manager and these players. Chelsea FC will exist after these owners, managers and players. Chelsea FC were accomplished and successful before. Chelsea FC will be accomplished and successful after them too.

The only constant through it all will be the fans. Whatever situation the club is in, the fans will still be there and nothing will change from their perspective. I always say owners is the wrong word - 'custodians' is better. This is not YOUR club, you have it temporarily.

Underrated… ⚡️

IT'S MATCHDAY! 💙

🚨🔵 Enzo Maresca when asked if he wants to be more involved on transfers strategy: “No, no, absolutely not. No, no, no. I’m happy with the squad”.

“The reason why I signed with this club, if you remember I have said many times, is because I think the squad is very good”.

🚨⚠️ Enzo Maresca: “At the moment, I don’t think we've a natural replacement for Enzo Fernández”.

“We've adapted Andrey Santos — but Andrey is more of a number 6, so Moi Caicedo’s position, than Enzo’s position”.
