The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 5th August 2024!

Morning all,

I hope you all had a good weekend! We are enjoying some nicer weather in the UK at the moment so it’s been nice to get out and about and soak up the rays, as much as little Solly allows us to anyway!

I watched Chelsea on Saturday night (was battling myself to stay awake with the late kick off). Obviously we lost 4-2 to Manchester City and there was some very shoddy moments in the game and some real concerns. But we did control the game, largely, but it’s goals that win football matches. I’ve reviewed the game in my full report, ratings, and much more in here.

I had some sourced updates on strikers as well. The name on everyone’s lips is Victor Osimhen and I know everyone wants regular updates on him, I do have some in here. Also some updates on Samu Omorodion and Conor Gallagher in this too. Early this morning it has also been confirmed by a few sources that Gallagher has given his ‘yes’ to Atletico and will travel to Spain this week to complete the move!

All the rest of the Chelsea transfer news from Sunday and any other bits of general Blues news, quotes, interviews, etc, can be found in the news report here. Bit more on some things I heard on Gallagher yesterday afternoon too.

Some opinion pieces to round up now.

One here on Enzo Fernandez and the general midfield situation. Where do they all fit? How do we keep them all happy? Where does Enzo play and why do coaches still keep insisting on using him as a 10? I ponder all of that and more.

And finally for this newsletter, I have an article on how Chelsea NEED to sort the winger and striker positions before the end of the window. I think this could be the difference between getting top four or not. I explain all in here.

Right, that’s it for now. Please do join me on the live blog from around 8.30am today on the home page!

Peace, Si.
