The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 18th August 2026!
Morning!
Hope you all had a good start to the new week.
The Premier League season is BACK this weekend, lets go then!!
The summer transfer window is still open though, so we have time to do more business, and I expect more business to be done - outgoings and incomings.
I have given the lowdown on what can still happen in terms of new signings coming in the door at Stamford Bridge here, including the ‘one’ to watch!
The rest of the articles today are opinion based, but before I get to those, we have a bit of a public service announcement around the Substack App chat section. Unfortunately I am forced to put out a message here off the back of some abuse and disrespect in the chat. I wont allow it people, it’s not what we are here for, we are all here for fun. Please read this here.
Right, time for me to rant. I DETEST the stan culture in football. People obsessing over players and managers more than the club they apparently support for me is just weird. End the stan culture here!
I also spoke about how agents take the blame for their players wants, actions, and needs. If a player wants to go, he tells his agent to get him the move, which his agent does. Agents don’t just act freely, they do what their clients tell them and pay them to do!? Read on that here.
As always, you can round up all your general Chelsea news in the same place here from the last 24 hours! Covers all you need to know!
See you all on the next Live Blog from around 8.45am today!
Peace, Si.
