The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 9th October 2025!

Morning all,

I hope you’re having a good week so far as we move into Thursday.

First thing’s first, check in on all your latest general Chelsea news, transfer rumours, quotes, and anything else you need to know around the club from across the last 24 hours in the same place here.

Talking about transfers, there’s been some big briefings out this week direct from the club. I would ignore anything like that for now. January is a long way off and plenty can happen in between and the summer is even further off. Nobody can say what will happen in either window yet. I’ve got a big read on all of that here.

We got some words from a couple of Chelsea legends today, Joe Cole and Frank Lampard.

First of all, Lampard has been speaking on the Moises Caicedo comparisons with N’Golo Kante and Claude Makelele, and he’s sort of in agreement with me! Read all about that in here.

Meanwhile, Cole has been speaking about Enzo Maresca and the vision of the Chelsea owners right now. There are some excellent points and comments from Joey Cole here.

You will know I’m a big fan of Jack Grealish and rate him highly. I was an advocate of Chelsea signing him when we were showing some interest lately, something that was met with resistance on here. But Grealish is proving that he is still a class player and that actually, it was being restricted and not being allowed to play with freedom is why he looked so bad at Manchester City. Some very interesting analysis and words on Grealish here.

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

Peace, Si.
