The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 1st August 2024!
Morning all,
Welcome to the month of August already! That means the return of Premier League football and the last month of the summer transfer window! You’re in the best place to get all the content on all of that!
Chelsea played football over night. They had their third pre-season friendly against Club America out in the USA. It marked the first win of pre-season and the first win for Enzo Maresca as Blues boss with Chelsea thrashing the American side 3-0! I will be watching that back and doing my report very soon, but remember our guy Dylan had his watch-along on it so you can check that out here!
Today, myself and Jai have Chelsea reporter for London World, Rahman Osman join us for the the latest SPTC Podcast! We are buzzing for that one and will be reviewing the game and also talking Chelsea transfer plans for the remainder of August!! 👀. Not to be missed and will be out around 6pm tonight!
To the rest of the content today now…
Lot’s happening now in the transfer market and things building back up again as we enter the final month. You can get all of the latest Chelsea transfer news as well as everything else around the club right now in here.
One of those stories is Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid. I wanted to explain why I am actually probably one of the few Chelsea fans who are OK with this news. I understand why some aren’t OK with it, but I give my reasons why I am in here.
I have a sourced article as well on new winger pursuits as Chelsea look to still bring one in this summer. News on Nico Williams, Federico Chiesa, Desire Doue, and more in our latest sourced report here.
Continuing on from our centre back polls earlier this week now, and you have selected your best Chelsea centre back in this here. Also in this, time to pick your second best rated Chelsea centre back! Really intrigued to see how these results pan out.
Earlier in the week I had a play with formations and lineups and completely forgot about Christopher Nkunku (I’m still angry at myself 😂). So I’ve had another go but this time instead of selecting Enzo Maresca’s picks, I’ve gone with what I want to see and also did a couple of formations with two new transfer additions in it and a new position for Nicolas Jackson! 👀. Defo peep that in here!
Right, see you all on the live blog from around 8.30am this morning!
Peace, Si.
