Morning all!
Tuesday wasn’t much less dramatic than Monday, with many things going on from top to the bottom at this club. There’s SO much to sort out and so much to do, Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel are the two busiest people in London right now!
Catch up on all the latest transfer rumours and stories from Tuesday here in yesterday’s live blog.
Armando Broja has been the subject of strong interest from a number of clubs this summer, thus starting more debates amongst Chelsea fans. I’ve got the latest on that as well as my views on it here.
With Marina Granovskaia leaving the club, Chelsea will look to appoint a director of football to replace her. I’ve got some information on that and have been handed a few early names to become candidates for the role here.
Ah, the Romelu Lukaku situation. Now, there’s been a lot of confusion surrounding exactly what sort of deal we are striking up with Inter Milan here. I’ve been given some solid info that will hopefully help explain it a bit more and tell you why we don’t need to be concerned about the no obligation to buy bit here.
Finally, Matt Law of The Telegraph recorded an excellent Podcast with London is Blue yesterday, which I encourage you all to go and listen to. I’ve pulled up some key snippets here to discuss and ponder in the meantime. The show is 50 minutes long though, so I do recommend listening to it all!
We’ve got our own transfer Pod out this Thursday night, and it will be Ben Jacobs joining us! More on that tomorrow.
Peace, Si.
Great to hear that Ben is on the pod this week - excellent source of information and he explains things so well!
