At The Bridge Pod: A Chelsea FC Podcast

In this episode we put on our imaginary sporting director hats and take on the ultimate challenge—how should Chelsea have spent that £1 billion? Inspired by a brilliant tweet, we’re building our own 25-man Chelsea squad with a mandatory five Cobham graduates and only players transferred between 2022 and 2024, all while sticking to their actual transfer fees. No take-backs, no discounts, just cold, hard (and sometimes painful) reality.

Who gets in? Who gets left out? And most importantly—could we have spent the money better than Todd Boehly and Co.? (Spoiler: almost certainly).

The team also deep dive into another wild week of news and as always also answer some listener questions.
