The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 15th March 2024!
Morning all!
Happy Friday people and welcome to another weekend! It’s two weeks to this day when we had the life-changing and whirlwind day with our son arriving into the world. Every day since then has rolled into one and it’s been absolutely bizarre, crazy, manic, weird, sad, happy, tough, impossible, amazing, funny, incredible, and basically every other emotion you can think of thrown in the middle. Each day we learn something new, and each day we fall more in love with our little Solly. The boy is adorable!
So, once again, thank you ALL for your patience during this time as I continue to find my feet and juggle running this site. I continue to have amazing help on here, and Luke has got two big articles for us out today as well. But before that, I was back on the Podcast yesterday to join Jai. So if you haven’t already, please do check that out here as we preview Sunday’s FA Cup quarter final against Leicester City! This is another huge game for the team, manager, and the owners.
I also had a big exclusive article out yesterday revealing two new left back names on Chelsea’s shortlist, one of which is a Premier League player! A must read on that in here, whilst also detailing the latest on Chelsea’s interest in Alphonso Davies, and the new left back that I see as most likely at the moment.
I also put out a sourced article on Chelsea’s selling plans this summer. Last year we saw Todd Boehly personally broker some deals to sell players to Saudi, and he may well be doing that again right now. Much more on that in here.
Back to the amazing people who are helping me on this site right now, and Joe was on the live blog again yesterday reporting all your latest Chelsea news from the last 24 hours in one place in here. There is also further sourced news on Ben Chilwell and Benoit Badiashile injuries from me in this.
And finally, Luke’s two articles as promised. His most famous article first - the latest loan army roundup to see how all of our loan players are getting on. Some great bits of detail in this here.
Speaking of bits of detail, Luke has also gone into the importance of a set piece specialist with reports confirming Chelsea are hiring one at the end of the season. Chelsea have reached an agreement with Brentford for set-piece guru Bernardo Cueva to join the club next season, and you can check that out in full here.
Right, I’ll be back on the site on Sunday for the big lunchtime FA Cup game, and I’ll also start up the live match discussion thread on the Substack App, so please do join us there! Otherwise, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
Peace, Si.
