Sources: Possible new transfer target emerging (something going on behind scenes), How squad needs to look come Sept, Sources: Info on directors/owners, Can't pin silly decisions on Alonso, More....

The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 5th August 2026!

Morning all,

Hope you’re enjoying your week so far.

Things have gone a bit quiet on the transfer front at Chelsea, but quite often this window that means that something comes out of nowhere. And I’ve heard some things on that and also a possible new target in here via our sources. There is still plenty to unfold and plenty to still happen.

I of course do still have some doubts, but this here is what I would really like our squad to look like come the end of the window. We only have 25 days left, we might need to now get a move on with outgoings, because the squad needs massively trimming.

I still see us making stupid decisions though, but I just hope that these decisions will not be pinned on Xabi Alonso. I speak about that here.

I do feel much better with Dave Fallows and Alonso in the room though. They are implementing a big change in our recruitment policy, and I am so pleased for that. In this one here, there is also some sourced info on the directors and owners!

As always, I rounded up all your latest general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here.

Chelsea play today at 12.30pm against Juventus! Let’s go!!

See you all on the next Live Blog from around 8.45am today.

Peace, Si.
