The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 23rd October 2024!

Morning all,

Before we get into the big exclusives we have for you all to feast on today, a big Podcast announcement too!

We have the biggest (maybe not the first ever because I think Macca did one once), SPTC round table Podcast coming at ya today!

Jai is absent as he’s away for work, but I have got SPTC legends Luke Rushbrook, Danny Windsor, and The Score joining me today for a big round table episode, something we will be looking to do more of going forward and will also welcome in guests from our SPTC community on here. So look out for this show dropping just after lunchtime today!

Right, that other big news from our sources I was speaking about….

Chelsea are after a Manchester City defender in what is a HUGELY ambitious link in my humble opinion. But anything is possible in this game. I can reveal the name in here, as well as TWO Benfica centre backs also now on our radar. The centre back pursuit has become a bit of a priority, so some big updates in this one on all of that.

The other exclusive is revealing the names of those Chelsea midfielders that Barcelona are interested. There is actually three of them, and you can find out those names in here as well as reading the full lowdown on it all. Will Chelsea sell any of them to Barca? Find out inside the article.

I have some opinion articles to round this newsletter up now, as well of course as the general Chelsea news putting out all the latest from the last 24 hours in the same place here.

There’s been a lot of negative noise on Cole Palmer this week, mainly from rival fans. So I am telling them lot in here, to enjoy it whilst you can. Because Palmer hasn’t gone anywhere, and he will soon have the last laugh!

And finally, it looks like Enzo Maresca has made his final decision on his midfield, something that we have all been debating and wondering about on here for some time now. Maresca seems to like to go with his ‘best Xl’ and has that set in stone pretty much. So what does that mean for Enzo Fernandez, who appears to be behind Romeo Lavia in that Xl? Much more on that in here.

Thanks for stopping by, do please join us on the next live blog from around 8.30am today where we will begin to look forward to the next Conference League game on Thursday and also, report all the rest of the your Chelsea news in one place!

Peace, Si.
