Vibes are bad at Chelsea now – very bad.

The team have been blasted out of the Champions League and look unlikely to qualify for next year’s edition through the league after two defeats on the spin there too.

Meanwhile senior players have been openly speaking to the media about the mess at the club. It’s all getting ugly.

Fans who want to believe only have one recourse in these situations – looking ahead to the summer where we can make some transfers. We can all pretend that just one more signing can fix us…

Midfielder already looks guaranteed to be a Blue this summer

Two transfers are already locked in: Emmanuel Emegha from Strasbourg and Geovany Quenda from Sporting. But it feels like we can almost add another to the list. The talk about Valentin Barco has gone on for so long, and this week the move has been effectively guaranteed by sources in Argentina.

There will be doubts about this one, not least because Barco struggled when he was at Brighton. He does look to have developed since then, but is he really going to raise this team’s floor?

In other news…

Chelsea are likely to pick a pretty strong team for today’s game – but we still expect at least one academy debut.

Enzo Fernandez is one player we know won’t be playing, and his agent isn’t too happy about it.
