Transfer Deadline Day arrives! LATEST Sourced updates on Osimhen, Toney, Sancho & MUCH more, Servette 2 Chelsea 1 - Luke's review, ALL the fresh transfer news updates from all outlets!
The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 30th August 2024!
Morning all,
Well here we are then, we have arrived at another summer transfer deadline day - I think this might be my 4th or 5th I have covered on this site! That’s mad. I’ve obviously covered many more than just 5 summer deadline days in my time, but not on this site.
I think we are in for a mad one. As I explained yesterday though, unfortunately there is no way I can run a live blog today as much as I’d like to. My Wife might kill me if I take away her only Solly free day, and I certainly can’t update whilst I’ve got the boy. I am aiming to jump on around 4/5pm tonight though, but only if there is enough going on to cover, which I fully expect there to be! So please do head back here around that time where I aim to start up the live blog and see it through until the window slams shut later in the evening! If I can, I will throw any updates I do get today from sources on the Substack App chat section. So I will do my very best today people, and I can only apologise that I wont be here this morning/early afternoon. Babies eh? Who’d have them!?
Right, we also played football last night!! It was the second leg of The Europa Conference Play Off match against Servette. I didn’t watch as I was playing, but Chelsea lost 2-1 on the night but luckily went through 3-2 on aggregate. I’ve heard a lot of negativity on the game, but Luke wants to remind us all that it was just one game and there have been big positives before this game in here.
I ran the live blog right up until fairly late last night so I should have got you all covered for the very latest transfer news on all our situations and stories going on in here. I also jumped on this first thing this morning to put out my own info from sources on Osimhen, Sancho, Toney, Sterling, and more. Also my opinion on what I think about where we’re at right now in the window. All the rest of the latest over night updates from all outlets in this too!
And these will obviously be irrelevant now (they might not actually but likelihood is they will be). But I had two sourced stories out yesterday morning.
I had one explaining the situation on Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney at that time. Some key bits of info in this here.
And one on another late attempt by Crystal Palace to sign Trevoh Chalobah in here.
Our guy Dylan also had an article out on Osimhen with a bit of news and a bit of opinion in here. This is a decent one with a video attached too. Do check that out!
Right, after today/tomorrow, I am expecting a quiet weekend and a quiet period in terms of transfers. But do stick with us as we get all the rest of the inside info in here away from transfers, and there will be loads more content and new ideas coming away from transfers. And also, January I can already see being mad so there will be build up to that starting already - plenty of outgoings to do by the looks of it. So much more to come on here and of course, just that feeling of community and having somewhere to put all your opinions that I try and keep as a safe space. Dylan will also be bringing the tactical and video side to the site this season, which will bring more varied content too. I’m also still looking to add more writers and another journalist soon once opportunities arise.
Have a good weekend all!
Peace, Si.



Happy end of summer transfers day everyone
All I want to see is a striker of note, NO prospect striker
Would also love a Centre Back with a ton of experience but that is never going to happen
Raz for Sancho is an advantage for ManU he is better than what they have
Chilly best of Luck hope you get a move and your knees stay good
Muddy needs to go, its never going to happen for him at a top level staying at Chelsea Maresca has to much to do than hand hold his development, Im not sure the ipad coaching is helping at all ;-)
Disaster hope you also find a club along with Bag O shite
Our SDs have something to answer for here along with the bloated squad of players not required
No worries Si, you do what you need to.
Have a great day with your son.
Not sure what game Luke was watching last night.
Absolutely woeful, with the customary Jackson offside goal.
Let's hope at 11pm, we have exactly what we need.
