The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 4th March 2025!
Morning all,
I hope you all had a good Monday! Some big games for Chelsea coming up this week starting with the Conference League on Thursday night.
As it’s a bit of a quiet period between the January transfer window and the summer, I have written a story on some very close ‘done deals’ that Chelsea could have done in the recent past. Imagine if we signed Franck Ribery in the height of his excellence? Well, it was super close, and so was some other deals. Find out what happened with that one, why John Terry was involved in some other deals, and all the inside info here.
The here and now next, and the goalkeeper debate is rumbling on. Some fans are calling for Djordje Petrovic to come back and be our number one in the summer. But I’m still not fully convinced and believe if we are serious, then we need to upgrade still. Make your vote on that one and see my thoughts on the ridiculous goalkeeper situation at our club here.
It is very refreshing to see Chelsea linked with some established players for the summer this weekend. Whether they are legit or not, or come to anything, it is a good start in what I am hoping is a slight change in tact by Chelsea’s decision makers. Read all about that here.
Estevao Willian also made the headlines again this week, and he continues to get massively hyped by our fan base. I’d like us to curb our expectations a little, because he is a very young player and will need to adapt to many changes. We must allow him time to settle and back him. Words on that here.
And of course, I’ve rounded up all the latest general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in here. This covers it all!
Thanks for stopping by!
See you all on the next live blog from around 8.30am today!
Peace, Si.
