It’s Saturday morning and we’re just minutes away from Chelsea’s game against Liverpool kicking off, yet there is suddenly a rush of manager information coming out.
We just noted that Italian transfer insider Nicolo Schira had written that Crystal Palace are making strong moves to sign up Chelsea manager target Andoni Iraola. But that’s not all he’s come out with this morning.
Chelsea and Xabi Alonso getting closer after positive first talks
The far more positive news for Chelsea is that Schira says that there have been “positive first talks” between the Blues and Xabi Alonso, the dream manager candidate for most fans. Alonso has apparently “given his availability” for a “long term project.”
It still seems like something of a pipe dream given the mess our club is in and the competition we’d face for Alonso, but bit by bit it’s looking more positive. We would still like to see one of the most reliable journalists on the Chelsea beat confirm this, but the signs are good.
In other news…
Schira’s report on the Iraola situation makes it clear that Crystal Palace have made an “official bid” to sign him and are doing all they can to convince him of their project.
There are two youngsters on the bench for today’s game, and we’d love to see them get some minutes later on.
