LATEST! Sourced stories on Mason Mount hope, Frank Lampard, and a General midfield update (Caicedo, Lavia, Palhinha and more), Plus applauding owners message and full news roundup...
The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 9th July 2023
Morning all,
If you missed it, we had former Chelsea player Milan Lalkovic join myself and Macca on the Podcast yesterday. It was really great to hear his insights and get his views on all things current Chelsea, including on one player who he played with at the club! Absolutely HIGHLY recommend listening to this one, it was class! Listen/watch that here.
The owners have listened to the fans and they have communicated directly to us this week in the form of an official statement on the Chelsea website. This is exactly what we had all be asking for and needed in a way, so I absolutely applaud that. I have more words on that here, where you can also read the full statement, and also offer some more words of where we are at right now and my views on the ownership so far and going forward.
Before we get on to the sourced stories of the day, check back in on yesterday’s live blog here to round up all the latest general Chelsea news and transfer rumours with things starting to bubble up some more.
Mason Mount is a daily subject right now unfortunately no matter how much we’d all like to stop having to speak on it. I do have a little bit of optimism to deliver on the situation today though, in the form of my latest sourced update on it here.
Sticking with midfielders, I have sourced news on our attempts to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton in here, as well as sourced updates on Romeo Lavia, Palhinha, Mateo Kovacic, and much more.
The last sourced one is on Frank Lampard and interest coming in from Celtic. Some interesting bits of info on this one here.
That’s it for now and that’s it for this week! I have a feeling I might need to jump on the Substack App this weekend as I think something might go on in terms of developments to speak on. So if you haven’t downloaded that yet, please get it from your app store, login and get those chat notifications on. Any sourced info I get that is big whilst I am not on the site, I’ll always put on the Substack app on the chat feature. Anyone needs any help with it then drop a comment or head to my Twitter DMs to ask me!
Have a smashing weekend, I’ll be back on Sunday as usual!
Peace, Si.
Morning Si,
Hope you’re well and ready for beer’o’clock 🍺
Just wanted to get your opinion, on if Chelsea got Lavia and caicedo? I like both players, but feel we need more experience.
I also quite like thurham, Palinha, but most of all and I’m shocked we aren’t hearing any links yet SMS, his numbers this year are extraordinary!
No chance we are in for any of the above 3 😂
Getting bored of even just seeing stuff about Caicedo now, don’t think anyone really knows what’s going to happen. Going to be a long summer.
One thing I would say though, is I hope this is the last time we have to negotiate with Brighton, always make things more difficult than they need to be and even their fans seem to think they’re a European powerhouse now.
Honestly think Brighton would rather accept 75m from Arsenal than 90m from us without Colwill, just to be petty.
