Chelsea Newsletter - Friday 12th August
Covering: Extensive sourced story on De Jong, Sources on Aubameyang and Fofana, Huge sourced update on outgoings, Stamford Bridge makeover, Plus all the latest CFC transfer rumours and inside info...
Morning all!
We’ve finally made it to Friday, that was a long old week! No Chelsea tomorrow though as we host Spurs at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. I’m not overly confident I can’t lie. Spurs are in a really great position right now and have had an excellent pre-season and transfer window. It’ll be a tough game for sure, and maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Unfortunately the nature of the beast right now that when I write stories, they can be subject to change very quick during the latter end of the transfer window. So, I’m hoping that if you’ve not read this bumper Frenkie De Jong update I put out here off the back of our sourced info yesterday, that it is still relevant!
Next up, the live blog will always contain the most up to date info on all the transfer news, because I keep this going right into the evening. So head there to get all the latest stories as well as any of our sourced info - an interesting report in here from Rob Pratley on a new attacker name.
I have another huge sourced story here, and it is all based around outgoings. Again, I am sorry if anything has changed since I wrote this, but that is how a transfer window goes! I cover a host of players in here including Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Kepa, and more…
The sourced info continues to roll in today and I’ve put out all I know on our attempts to sign Pierre Emerick Aubameyang here. Interestingly, this could still be intertwined with De Jong and Marcos Alonso still.
Finally, Chelsea have released some pretty exciting plans for the Stamford Bridge makeover. This one might have slipped through the radar this week with all the transfer news going on, so I’ve covered that here.
Don’t forget, we did a Podcast yesterday afternoon at 4pm, with myself, Rob Pratley, and Macca reporting all our latest transfer news. There will definitely be bits in here that we haven’t put out on the site, as stuff comes in fast and right before we record, so absolutely check this out on the homepage now.
Have an awesome weekend people I’ll be back on Sunday unless any big developments!
Peace, Si.
its so boring when there isnt a live blog , i miss them so much like today 😫
Top stuff Simon. It's been a pretty disappointing week for transfers. Apparently we put in 2 very low offers for Fofana last week but haven't gone back in for him, and De Jong doesn't want to come. STILL not working on any attacker (nothing concrete, but I haven't read Rob's article yet). I have serious doubts about the current squads ability to finish in the top 4 this season compared with our competitors so hope we don't just go out with a whimper in the transfer window. With that said, I'm looking forwards to getting to the Bridge on Sunday. First time having a season ticket which I managed to get for Tier 1 in Westview so should be a decent experience... just hope what ends up happening on the pitch is aswell 😆
