Chelsea Newsletter: Friday 18th Nov
Covering: Sourced stories on Messi being 'a whisker away' from joining Chelsea, and setting up for a back four future. Plus, Chelsea need a more settled lineup, and we need to sort 2024 contracts now!
Happy Friday people!
It’s World Cup weekend, and I’m really feeling the buzz now! Although, I’ve still not got my damned wall chart! Mission for this weekend.
Hope you’ve all had a great week and looking forward to the weekend ahead. First of all, if you missed it, myself and Macca recorded our latest Podcast episode last night, you can find that here.
Check out yesterday’s live blog for all the general Chelsea news, quotes, and transfer rumours here.
Then we had our big exclusive story regarding the details behind Lionel Messi’s proposed move to Chelsea back in 2013 (I realise these stories have circulated before, but the details we have in the story are pretty exclusive). If you haven’t peeped this, then I highly recommend checking it out here, it’s got some crazy details and info in it about just how close Messi was to becoming a Chelsea player! Imagine!
One more sourced story here now to finish the week off, and this one is regarding Chelsea’s collective plans to use a back four formation as the regular setup going forward. A look at some variations and lineup options in this as well.
A couple of opinion pieces now to see you out today. One here on why I believe it will be very wise for Chelsea to start sorting out and concluding decisions on our 2024 contract now, or at least as soon as possible.
And finally, here is why I believe Chelsea need to work on more settled lineups going forward, having changed lineups 52 times this season, the most out of any top 8 club in the Premier League currently.
Right, I’m out, speak to you all Sunday, have a cracking weekend!
Peace, Si.
