The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 3rd March 2025!

Morning all,

I hope you had a good weekend. What beautiful weather we are having here in the UK. Cold at night, but almost T-Shirt weather in the day! My little boy turned one this weekend and we had a great party for him. Can’t believe he’s one, this year has been a massive emotional blur and all whilst I’ve had to keep eyes on Chelsea too!

To the content now…

There has been quite a bit going in this weekend really, but nothing enough for me to jump on the App to report as it’s mainly just briefings and rumours.

I have done a general news sweep up on three bits of news - The Todd Boehly quotes, new Rafa Leao links, and a rumour of a new centre back being watched. You can grab all of that in here.

I’m tired of the club briefings to be honest, but I have spoken on the goalkeeper ones from the weekend here to report and we know from our own sources. Again, not here to tell you what to believe, but this info is from a very trusted SPTC source.

Another sourced article on a goalkeeper name here. Chelsea were very close to signing another goalkeeper before they signed Robert Sanchez in the summer of 2023. And I think this stopper would have been a little more popular than Sanchez has been!

John Terry is the latest former Chelsea player to say what we have all being saying, and SO many more people have been saying, that Chelsea lack experience. It’s just getting ridiculous and so clear at this point. Maybe Terry saying it might finally have some effect. Read about that here.

My bad, I got so caught up in Birthday celebrations I forgot to round the news up last night! To be honest though, I’ve gone through it and there is basically nothing of not really worth reporting anyway, so it would have been very empty!

See you all on the next live blog from around 8.30am on the home page!

Peace, Si.
