Morning all,
As always, we got a lot to go through today and a lot to debate and report!
First and foremost, we had a big new transfer exclusive that would have dropped into your emails yesterday. If you missed it, you can find out here the new profile of player that Xabi Alonso wants to add to this Chelsea squad! Names in this too 👀
Round up all your latest general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here. This covers all you need to know.
Do Chelsea just need more world class players in their squad? Steven Gerrard thinks they do. This has begun a series of articles I am going to do over the next days, comparing us with other teams. But first, please vote in the polls here and read the Gerrard quotes so we can set it all up.
Our man The Score jumped in to write an article on Xabi Alonso and what he calls a toxic fan reaction here. He’s pointed out some positive improvements that he believes he has seen from Alonso so far.
There was one point in his article that I wanted to pick up on. He refers to some quotes made by former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown as negative, when actually, I believe Brown’s comments were positive and fair. So I’ve reacted to that here, with my upmost respect as always.
See you all on the next Live Blog from around 8.45am on the home page today!
Peace, Si.
