The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 8th September 2023!
Morning all!
Buzzing here this morning in SPTC towers! Myself and my old man are off to meet Chelsea legend John Terry tonight! He is doing a talk in Basingstoke and we are going to watch - we also get to ask questions and get a picture with him. Will be great. I’ll certainly feedback here on Sunday on what it was like and what was said by the Blues legend, especially as it looks like he is about to take on a managerial role in Saudi!
To the news now, and as I have been reporting on here, Chelsea are still keen on signing winger Antonio Nusa and could do a pre-deal. Latest news on that and much more from yesterday’s live blog to kick things off here.
A big sourced article out yesterday on strikers as well. Chelsea tried to bring one in this summer but are now turning attentions to January. As we know, a pre-deal for Ivan Toney is the priority, but other options are being looked at. Big news on some new names in here.
Mykhailo Mudryk is very much under the limelight at Chelsea right now and the pressure and off-field noise is seemingly getting to him. But of course, he is also worrying about friends and family at home with the ingoing war in the Ukraine. There is a lot to dissect, ponder, and debate in here. It’s fine to criticise as a fan, I believe it is our right. But there’s so much we also need to take into consideration and there is a fine line that is crossed way too much.
More on Mudryk in my Ukraine vs England Chelsea focus article here. He has a chance to shine without the pressure on him. In this as well, a focus on Ben Chilwell, Levi Colwill, and Conor Gallagher ahead of the Euro qualifiers.
And the last article of the day is our community ratings of some of our players and deciding whether they will make it at Chelsea or not and if they do, what levels they will get to. Really interesting results in here and thanks all for taking part.
Myself and Jai recorded our latest Podcast yesterday. So please do make sure you check that out here if you haven’t already.
Right, I’m off to Basingstoke to meet the absolute legend himself! I’ll be back on the site on Sunday unless anything big kicks off before then and I need to jump on the app! Luke will be running a blog today so do join him for that, but it won’t be a usual regular busy one.
Have a great weekend people and to those of you going to the legends game at The Bridge on Saturday, enjoy!! I’ll be watching and will do a debrief on it Sunday!
Peace, Si.
