Chelsea Newsletter - Thursday 14th October
Covering... Tchouameni transfer battle brewing, Rudiger contract latest, Werner to Newcastle?, Christensen's form - The stats, and a general news sweep...
Guess what? Chelsea play football in just two days time now, domestic football is back!
Wasn’t a bad international break for Chelsea players to be honest and we seem to have come through it pretty injury-free, which is the main thing.
Timo Werner also managed to build up some more vital confidence and momentum coming back to Chelsea this week.
The Blues take on Brentford of course, and one man there might be a slight injury concern about is Antonio Rudiger, who did come back from international duty with ‘back issues’.
We have heard nothing further on this as of yet, but we have got some more information on his contract situation with the club here.
Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouameni is becoming a more and more popular player by the day and is being mentioned alongside the interest of many clubs now.
Have Chelsea left it too late? Will they get involved in the pending bidding war for the French international? Find out here.
Going back to the subject of Timo Werner though, he is reportedly wanted by Newcastle United. Who isn’t right? Pretty sure my Wife and cat will get linked with Newcastle soon enough…
Anyways, I’ve rated that rumour and given my own thoughts/info on it here.
I’ve written up a stats based opinion article on Andreas Christensen here. I don’t often play around with stats, but I feel this one is factually very accurate and beneficial, and I might start doing more of these (comment any players you want me to do one on in the comments section please).
Annnd to finish off, I’ve whipped round with the broom for the general news sweep of anything else you may have missed from Wednesday here.
We are recording the latest Podcast today, and none of you had a guess of who it might be after my clue yesterday… Oh well!
We are excited to talk to one of the biggest Drum n Bass DJ’s in the UK right now, DJ Phantasy, who also happens to be a massive Chelsea fan and season ticket holder.
Looking forward to this one, show will be out at 3pm on Friday for all paying subscribers. It’s not too late to sign up and listen!
Cheers y’all, Si.
