Sources: Chelsea made recent contact for Joe Gomez! Sources: Sterling to help Osimhen deal? Chelsea will always be hated and that's how I like it, Media agendas are wrong, News roundups, More...
The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 21st August 2024!
Morning all,
Hope you’re all having a good week so far!
You know what? I absolutely love it when the universal footballing world hates Chelsea. It reminds me of our most successful era as a club so far. We operate best when we are hated, so I wouldn’t have it any other way. Bring on the hate. It’s up to Chelsea as a club to prove them all wrong and rise above it. I have some words on all of that off the back of more criticism from Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville this week in here.
Couple big sourced articles today too, but remember that these were written early on Tuesday morning so these transfer stores could have easily moved on a bit since being posted.
The first one is some updates on Victor Osimhen to Chelsea. Will it happen? There are some factors that could push it to happen, such as selling Raheem Sterling and Romelu Lukaku. I have the latest on all of that in here.
And perhaps a bit of a surprise story up next. Chelsea have been interested in Liverpool’s Joe Gomez since last summer, as we exclusively reported on at the time. But the interest is back and as well as that, contact has been made for THIS window. Get the latest on that from our sources in here.
I didn’t have a live blog yesterday as I’m away for our wedding anniversary, but I did manage to round up all the latest Chelsea news and transfer news at the end of the day yesterday. Get your latest Blues news covering all subjects and stories in here.
And Luke was in the building as well to help out today. He’s come at the media too and has some fire back to some of the silly claims that have been made recently. You can check out his latest article in full in here.
Right, I’ll have a live blog running today but it wont be quite as regular as normal and I may have to sign out for small chunks of the day as we have some plans. But I’ll keep it running and update as and when I can!
Peace, Si.
Not a great sign for the Substack that you are forced to write and repeat posts based on made up nonsense from Twitter engagement farmers like Darko that Ben Jacob’s corrected half a day ago…
