Welcome back guys to another episode of The Si & Dan Talk Chelsea Podcast!
Si was riding solo this week, due to Dan ‘having a sore throat’ (please all send your sympathy and support). Personally I think we just worked him too hard last week - He had to write one whole article guys, so I think he just needed to rest, bless him.
Anyways, luckily we had a guest so you didn’t just have to listen to me drone on for 45 minutes!!
Former Sky Sports reporter Pete O’Rourke joined me for a transfer show to speak about all the latest noise coming out of Chelsea as we tried to piece together any potential movements this summer.
So, here are the time stamps!
First 12 mins - What Pete does, how he got where he is now, how he sources news, and his time at Sky Sports.
12.01 - Striker pursuit - Erling Haaland, Romelu Lukaku, and Robert Lewandowski.
19.00 - Chelsea working on a number of strikers at the same time. Do they need to sell more (Tammy Abraham for example) before bidding for a striker?
20.58 - Do Chelsea try and do their deals in silence?
27.13 - Declan Rice wanted by Tuchel? Will Chelsea make an offer?
31.10 - Centre back situation - Will Chelsea look to bring in another centre back? What names are being looked at?
33.25 - Mass exodus of Chelsea youth players, will that worry Chelsea?
36.30 - Pete reassures fans on Chelsea’s lack of transfer activity so far.
38.13 - Will Chelsea definitely sign a striker regardless?
39.45 - Pete’s advice for any new Reporters or Journalists just starting out.
Thanks as always for joining us guys, it’s very much appreciated!
Back next week when hopefully Dan has recovered from his big bad mean sore throat!!
For those who prefer to watch as well as listen, we have the video version available to watch here!
