Chelsea FC 2024 Player Wages And Salaries

Chelsea FC is one of the best football clubs in England and attained a big reputation in European club football under the ownership of Roman Abramovich. However, he has since been replaced by American businessman Todd Boehly. The Blues as they are fondly called, are presently under the management of Englishman Graham Potter after the sacking of German manager Thomas Tuchel. It can be recalled that the German boss led them to triumph in the UEFA Champions League in the 2020/21 season, making it two UCL trophies under Roman Abramovich. The Blues have some decent and world-class players in their ranks and these players have proved themselves over the years with performances that have made the London club more popular and attracted more fans in the process.

Lampard and Chelsea; Loyalty in football favors the bosses

This is a sentimental post! Regardless, it's a no-brainer that loyalty only favors the bosses in the game of football. In this case, the bosses are the football clubs and managers, and the scenarios are football clubs versus managers and managers versus players. The latest incident that gives credence to this thought is the Chelsea versus Frank Lampard news that has been making the rounds for hours. The fact is, the bosses are only loyal to you when all is well, but will immediately turn their backs on you when the going gets tough. This has been the case for years in the round leather game. Chelsea have fired club legend, Frank Lampard, from his managerial role at Stamford Bridge, and Thomas Tuchel is expected to be his replacement according to reports. I agree that results ma...

Fulham have improved and Lampard should be worried

Chelsea have been struggling recently in the Premier League and it seems Arsenal passed the poor form disease to the Blues after beating them at the Emirates in the league some weeks back. The Blues have seen themselves drop down the table and something has to be done immediately before the struggles get out of hand. It's no more news that they beat Morecambe 4 nil in the FA Cup but this result can't be used to judge if the Blues have weathered the storm or not. Regardless, Frank Lampard and his men should know that they'll have a game in their hands when they travel to face newly-promoted neighbors Fulham at Craven Cottage. If the recent improvement by Scott Parker's men is anything to go by, then Chelsea fans shouldn't rejoice just yet. Fulham have been hard to beat in rec...

Chelsea Identify Three Alternatives To Jules Kounde

The transfer battle between Chelsea and Barcelona this summer continues to rage as recent reports suggest that the Blues could eventually miss out on the signature of Sevilla defender Jules Kounde as the Catalans look set to hijack the deal. The Frenchman has established himself as one of the solid center-backs in La Liga and it appears that may opt to remain in Spain instead of move away from the La Liga. Therefore, Chelsea may have to look elsewhere for alternatives and a report from the Evening Standard suggests that they have identified three possible targets namely; Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar. PSG's Presnel Kimpembe, and RB Leipzig's Josep Gvardiol. READ: Arsenal Ruthless In Pre-Season; Can They Sustain The Form? The deal for Kounde is complicated with the player's final...

The history of Chelsea’s big-money strikers

Image Credit: “Didier Drogba”, by rayand licensed under CC BY 2.0 Since Roman Abramovich became the owner of Chelsea in 2003, the west London side have signed 22 strikers, including Romelu Lukaku twice. It is fair to say those signings have brought varying degrees of success, and have come at vast expense. The struggles of Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku this season have been well noted, and Chelsea’s failure to score enough goals from their attacking players under Thomas Tuchel has been a primary reason they have fallen away from Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the league. According to odds sourced via GamblingDeals, the Blues are now 13/2 to retain their CL title and will need Lukaku and Werner to find some form if they want to achieve that goal. In this article...

Chelsea 2021-22: What to expect from the season ahead

Winning the UCL in grand style would relax nerves and dampen the pressure in many top teams in Europe but not at Chelsea. Four European trophies in 10 years perfectly depict the hunger for success at Chelsea and it will be the same in the coming season. Here’s a quick look at how things might be next season in the various departments of the current European champions. Goalkeeping The acquisition of Edouard Mendy from Rennes proved to be arguably the best piece of business Chelsea did last summer. With 24 clean sheets in 43 appearances, no other goalkeeper in Europe had a better season statistically. Compared to the previous season that saw Kepa Arrizabalaga fluff his lines so much, the solidity of the Chelsea backline was down to Mendy’s wonderful performances between the sti...

Chelsea’s treatment of Abraham leaves much to be desired

Chelsea emerged victoriously in the UEFA Champions League in the 2020/21 season in a short time under Thomas Tuchel, and it remains the talking point at the club ahead of the 2021/22 season. The triumph was one that nobody saw coming, considering how they struggled under Frank Lampard before the arrival of the German. Despite this major success, one issue at the club leaves much to be desired and it is the club's or maybe Tuchel's treatment of Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham. It's no more news that loyalty in the game favors the bosses and I wrote an article concerning the issue some time ago. Tammy Abraham was one of the stars whom the onus fell on to help Chelsea maintain their place in the Premier League during the transfer ban under a manager who was still learning the ropes....

Mason Mount is a force that has come to stay

The transfer ban against Chelsea did them a lot of good and continues to do so even after the departure of Frank Lampard. The Englishman was tasked with managing the Blues during the torrid period of no major acquisitions and he chose to stick with one young English player who has proven that he has the quality to thrive on the biggest stage if handed the opportunity. Chelsea have never been known to rely on players from their academy but had no choice but to do so in the 2019/20 football season as the likes of Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, Reece James, and Mason Mount took up important roles in the team. Mason Mount was one player who never got the credit he deserved in his first season as a regular first-team player at Stamford Bridge. Many pundits and fans believed that he was ...
