The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 8th June 2023
Morning all,
It’s Podcast day today at Si & Dan Talk Chelsea towers, and let’s hope Macca actually turns up this week! Because we have a guest, and a pretty good one. Former Chelsea player Milan Lalkovic is joining myself and Macca on the show, and I’m very much looking forward to chatting to Milan, who is known for his straight up views on the current situations, about all things Chelsea! It’s always great to hear things from a player’s perspective. Show will be out around 6/7pm tonight!
Let’s get into it…
A sourced story to start with on the future of Conor Gallagher, and there are some frustrations boiling up a little in this one. Will he stay at Chelsea? Which clubs are interested? Does Mauricio Pochettino want him to stay? Find all that out and more in here.
N’Golo Kante looks like he is off now this summer (reliably reported as a done deal) when his contract runs out at the end of this month, and although I agree it is the right thing to happen, I am very sad and gutted to see a club legend leaving. I’ll always have so much time for Kante and adore the man, so I’ve penned a little tribute on him here, as well as my views on him leaving for big wages and reacting to the things being said about him.
The Score is becoming a regular contributor on our site and I’m sure you’ll all agree, this is certainly a good thing. He writes very well and offers good balanced views, which we always appreciate on here. Read his latest here on the expectations for next season and why we might need to hamper them a little.
I won’t often blow my own trumpet, but I think I’ve compiled a pretty awesome latest set of polls for you guys to go through here. It’s a transfer special really, with so many rumours and stories to address and make our decisions on. I know many of you enjoy these, so crack on and get involved!
Finally, we had the live blog running as always yesterday and it’s carried on the theme of the week with quite a bit going on. Check back in on all that here and gather all your latest Chelsea news in one place.
Firing up today’s blog from around 8am, see you there!
Peace, Si.
Thanks for this. It’s worrying that striker situation is something that isn’t being projected much. Understand club might be planning but there isn’t much noise. There are talks of Poch looking at Broja in pre-season and taking a decision. I thought we learnt our lesson by not signing a striker last January ( Ignoring June transfer window ). Goals win matches. Misfiled rebuild - sure. but somehow Chelsea being Chelsea. Diego Costa was our last lethal goal scorer. That should say something !!!
