Chelsea Newsletter - Wednesday 14th Sept

Covering: Big UCL match day preview and predictions, Sourced stories on Endrick and Lavia, Potter's first press conference, analysing his words, and all the latest general and transfer news..

Morning all!

I’m actually buzzing for our big Champions League matchday! There is a lot of nerves, anxiety, but also excitement ahead of Graham Potter’s first game in charge. None of us know what to expect, but I think that fuels the usual adrenaline before a game even more. None of us know how he will line up, what formation he will use, or how he will approach this. I’m at the very least, excited to find all of that out tonight. It’s our last game for two and a half weeks as well, so I just want to enjoy it whilst I can!

Check out my match preview and predictions article first here.

Potter took his first press conference as Chelsea manager yesterday, and I’ve got the full transcript of that, as well as all the latest general Chelsea and transfer news, and news of a plan to start an exclusive forum for our community on Substack, in the latest live blog here. Please keep letting me know if you are interested in me starting a forum on Discord in the comments section. Had good feedback so far so I think I will push ahead with it. I’ll do an article today with more details.

Before Potter took his press conference yesterday, Chelsea released some early quotes from him as Chelsea boss, and some of the comments were unfairly and ridiculously dissected. I wanted to address that here and analyse his comments what I deem to be correctly, or at the very least, fairly.

Two sourced stories to end the newsletter now. One here on our pursuit to try and sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton and whether we will try again in January.

And in a similar story, and update on Chelsea’s attempts to sign Endrick Felipe from Palmeiras and whether that pursuit is still in the pipeline here.

That’s all folks! Look out for the Discord stuff today, I’ll put an article out soon with instructions etc how to join, and a bit of housekeeping (love a bit of housekeeping 😂😎).

Peace, Si.
