The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 17th August 2023!
Morning all!
It’s another big day as Chelsea look to get more deals close and over the line, with focus still on arrivals and departures.
There was a lot said on Chelsea’s move to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace this week, with ‘tapping up’ claims coming up. I’ve addressed that here and also given the latest on where we are at with that one. Deal remains on :)
Next up, I’d head to the live blog from yesterday here to make sure you get all the very latest Chelsea transfer news. Latest on Romeo Lavia’s move to Chelsea (has he passed a medical yet?) as well as some crazy stories of Lewis Hall being up for sale that unfortunately seem to be true - absolute insanity.
The Chelsea interest in Ivan Toney has not disappeared despite him being handed a long ban for breaking betting rules. I have a big sourced story on that with some developments and a potential move on the cards, here.
Our man Luke Rushbrook has been very busy this week with all of our done deals being confirmed, and he is very happy to be busy, and so am I! So Luke had his latest player profile (second one this week) to deliver. Take a look at our latest new signing Romeo Lavia, here!
And the last article of the newsletter is the entertaining poll article! Answer questions on the remainder of Chelsea’s transfer window plans here and make your voice heard! Make decisions on Caicedo, Lavia, Olise, Kudus, Petrovic, Henderson, De Gea, Broja, Gallagher, Carney, Maatsen, Cucurella, Sterling, and more!
We have the latest Podcast out later today and I am testing yet another potential new host. Many of you will know Jai McIntosh (yes, another Macca!!) very well either from Twitter, his other projects and Podcasts he has done, or as a guest (a few times) on our Podcast here before. I’ve been pals with Jai for a while and even met him at a Chelsea game. To be honest I’d totally forgotten to speak to him as an option and I have no idea why, because I think he’ll be an amazing choice. Pod out later this evening as we are recording later (around 6ish). So look out for that!
See you all on the live blog from around 8am today!
Peace, Si.
Thanks Si
Looking forward to another try out on the blog. ( post written from the balcony of the muppet show)
