Morning people!
It’s the start of a new month and that means one thing, Chelsea have 30 days left to complete all their transfer business before the summer window slams shut! No pressure guys…. Yikes.
I’ve got an article on that here if you want to check that out first thing this Monday morning, and it explains why I am a little disappointed
As you’ll know, I was at Camp Bestival the last four nights, and I was without any 4G or phone signal, meaning unfortunately I have been out of the loop and been unable to really speak with sources. I came back late on Sunday and got to work right away trying to find out the latest on everything, and I’ve managed to get some updates. But anything else, I’m working on now and will be putting out throughout the rest of this week. The Festival itself was great fun, but the moral of the story is, I am too old to be spending four nights sleeping on grass and using ‘festival’ toilet facilities (if you know, you know!). I’m so tired! But I want to give a MASSIVE shout out and thank you to Charlie, who ran the live blog on both Thursday AND Friday last week, Rob Pratley, who put out some excellent articles in my absence keeping you all informed and also helped Charlie with questions, and Macca of course for doing the Podcast with Ben Jacobs still. These three kept the show going for us and you guys here whilst I was away, and for that I truly thank them.
Before I go on, I MUST say a massive congratulations to the England Women’s team who won the Euros last night! I managed to catch the end and it was unreal scenes!
For the rest of the news, I’ve got some sourced stuff generally on outgoings and where we are at with a few players here. And I’ve got one on incomings here that covers the latest on the likes of Wesley Fofana and Denzel Dumfries.
And finally, I know there was a report on Callum Hudson-Odoi over the weekend, so I have addressed that here with a sourced story.
Anyways, I do hope you guys are all doing OK and had a good weekend. I’ll be back on the live blog today as normal.
Peace, Si.
