Chelsea Newsletter: Wednesday 19th Oct
Covering: Jonathan David to Chelsea? Brentford Preview and predictions, Preferred formations, Kante's future (poll), What a difference a year makes, Plus all the latest CFC news and rumours...
Morning all!
Thankfully the weather picked up slightly here yesterday and we managed to see some sun. But we are in for an unsettled week here still. As I explained in yesterday’s live blog, which you can check out here as your first point of call this morning, our Airbnb host told us that Monday saw the most ever amount of rainfall he has witnessed in Cyprus in such a short space of time, and he’s lived here all his life! It was like a months’ worth of rainfall in one day. They need it here, but not all at once, there was floods everywhere!
Chelsea are linked to Jonathan David again this week, I wrote about that in the live blog as well above. I will do some more digging on that this week. I’m also going to look at right back plans, with the continued injuries that Reece James has been facing. So look out for sourced stuff on that later this week or early next. I know some of you have been asking.
Meanwhile, we have a game on tonight. Chelsea make the short trip to Brentford in the mid-week Premier League clash as the games continue to roll in. I’ve got a preview and predictions article on that here.
It would be amazing if you could all take part in the poll inside this next article here, related to N’Golo Kante’s future. It’s a very hot topic right now so it will be great to gauge a general consensus from our community here on that.
There is also a poll in this article here, which is a dive into formations and playing around with some, as well as offering my preferred formations and lineups that I’d like to see going forward, based on current form.
We had the Balon d’Or awards again this week, and it bought back some memories of a small Chelsea takeover last year after the success of the Men’s and Women’s team. It was a different story this year than last year, but I’ve addressed why we need to fear not about that here. Chelsea are coming back!
Myself and Macca will be recording the latest Podcast episode today (a day earlier as it fit in better with our schedule whilst in here Cyprus). It will hopefully be out around 6pm UK time. I might even do a bit of a tour around the pool house whilst on the Pod for those interested! Two weeks off the Pod, looking forward to chatting Chelsea again!
That’s all folks!
Peace, Si.
