Morning all!

Happy weekend to everyone and as always, thanks for choosing to be here with us in this community!

Yesterday myself and Jai recorded the latest SPTC Podcast, so do make sure to check that out here!

I also wrote a detailed deep dive article on the huge tasks that Enzo Maresca is now facing as Chelsea manager, even before the Enzo Fernandez incident. This has a lot of sourced info in as well. Big read in here.

My other sourced article of the day is on Chelsea’s transfer operations this summer and why it is all seemingly so different than recent windows and also, why we are unlikely to see any ‘Lucy Bronze-type’ signings for the Men’s team this summer - A signing that I consider very smart. Another big read in here.

Next up, we have our analyst Dylan bringing you 5 things to look out for on our pre-season tour in here. Great detailed read this. Dylan will be watching the Wrexham game and is going to be vlogging the game - some new content for our site that I’ve been eager to bring for a while now, and Dylan is perfect to deliver it!

I don’t know where Luke’s article got to, but I am sure he has plans to put it out later today!! I think it might be on setting up the SPTC Fantasy League, so do look out for that! I’ll be joining!

I almost forgot, to grab all your latest Chelsea news, transfer rumours, quotes, and everything else that has gone on across the last 24 hours, click here to have it all in one place! And probably the most important sourced transfer story of the day can actually be found in here at the top of the article, sources have confirmed talks for Murillo of Nottingham Forest - but it will mean selling two current defenders! Key info in this one!

Right, we are off to Devon again now this weekend for a couple nights with family! I’ll be around of course if anything big goes off, and I will jump on the Substack App as usual. Otherwise, see you all back on the site on Sunday!

Peace, Si.
