The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 22nd January 2024!
Morning all,
I hope all you enjoyed a fantastic weekend and also, the peace and quiet that comes when Chelsea do not play football. I’m ready for them to play again now though I think, and we don’t have to wait much longer until Tuesday arrives and our big League Cup semi final match is here.
There’s still plenty to talk about leading up to the game of course and things that went on over the weekend.
We can start with my sourced article on strikers with some updates on what is happening there. A short-term option due to arrive? Armando Broja out, Jhon Duran in? Karim Benzema possible? Who are the club REALLY prioritising as their new permanent long-term striker? Find all that out and more in here.
And at the other end of the pitch now, a focus on defenders. You can find my latest sourced information on centre back and left back plans in here, with some key bits of info.
Cesare Casadei was randomly ‘recalled’ by Chelsea out of the blue at the weekend, returning early from his season-long loan move at Leicester City. What on earth has gone on there then? And what next for the Italian midfielder? I have a lot of interesting info and opinions in this one here. A lot to ponder.
Jose Mourinho has been trending a lot over the last week since he got sacked as Roma boss, and many Chelsea fans would like to see him back managing at Stamford Bridge again for Mourinho 3.0. But would you like to see that? You can have your vote in here, and also read some sourced info on his future, whether a return to Chelsea is feasible, and Joe Cole’s words on the special one!
And finally for this newsletter, roundup all your general Chelsea news from Sunday in one place here. This is where you can read all the latest transfer rumours as we head into the final 10 days of the January window.
I’ll see you all on the live blog from around 8am this morning!
Peace, Si
