Tuesday's Chelsea Newsletter 05/10/21

Covering Alonso, Nkundu, Barkley, Loftus-Cheek, Chilwell, Tchouameni, Abraham, Rudiger, and LOADS more!

Hey guys, that’s Monday over for another week!

Being a Monday, and being the start of another international break, I wasn’t expecting there to be much for me to report in this Tuesday morning newsletter, but there was some things going on…

First of all, I’ve started a new format for my news articles when I am reporting transfer rumours from other sources.

What I am doing is I am rating them, and then giving my verdict on the rumour based on the reliability of the source, my opinion, and anything I may have been told on it.

So you will see me rating the source, either, very unreliable, unreliable, mixed history, reliable, or very reliable.

I know many appreciate these types of reports and hopefully it will help you all when reading news reports from various sources. I’ve learned over the years which sources are good, and which sources are not so good so I’m happy to share that knowledge with you guys.

Anyways, here are my first two articles in that format - One here on the Marcos Alonso to Inter Milan links, and one here on Chelsea’s alleged interest in Christopher Nkunku.

Ben Chilwell was in the news a lot on Monday after having a good game for us on Saturday and scoring a good goal.

He hasn’t been getting the nod really for Thomas Tuchel this season, and there were reports going around that he was disappointed.

Read about that, Chilwell’s reaction to not getting minutes in his own words, and his almost perfect stats from Saturday, click here.

Another player who made a impact on Saturday was Ross Barkley, and it was his beautiful pass that found Cesar Azpilicueta to set up Timo Werner to put us 2-1 in front with just minutes left on the clock.

He’s causing good problems for Tuchel, and here is why he is pushing hard for a starting place with our report from Cobham on him.

Finally, I’ve ended the newsletter with a bit of housekeeping… not literally. I’ve swept up any other little bits of news snippets surrounding Chelsea from Monday so you do not miss a thing.. Peep that here.
