Si Phillips Talks Chelsea

We back!!

Back with a surprise early Podcast drop this week due to Simon going off on his honeymoon on Friday.

Despite it being an international break we still managed to pack in an hours worth of Chelsea content, and there was surprisingly quite a bit to debate!

Hopefully Si’s audio was much better this week? Think we’ve finally sorted that!

Here is what was covered..

* Chelsea players on international break

* Tuchel’s tactics defensive? Off the back of a Reporters comments to Van Gaal

* Antonio Rudiger contract situation

* Midfielder discussion - The next big club decision?

* Reece James as a DM?

* What now for Ross Barkley, Malang Sarr, and Lewis Baker?

* Ben Chilwell situation, just or unfair?

* Line up and score predications for Aston Villa

* A very tame Quickfire Round!

Thanks for tuning in guys!

Si wont be around next week as explained, he’s got the week off completely for his honeymoon, but Dan has said he WILL deliver you guys a Podcast still with one or two guests joining him!

For those who like to watch as well as listen, we have the video version of this Podcast available here!

Speak soon!

Sorry guys I didn’t mean to email out the video version earlier, but anyways you’ve got both now!!….

The transfer window is over, so now it was time to reflect, look back on every single deal, and review it all!

To do this, we needed the help of a guest - The Don Claudio D from Twitter, who is a very positive guy on socials growing massively in popularity and deservedly so.

The three lads take us through the summer transfer window and rate it out of 10.

Hope you enjoy this one, it was certainly fun to record!

*Apologies for Simon’s sound ducking out a couple of times, we have no idea why this happens but have a few things to try moving forward now the transfer window has closed and things are quieter.

Follow Claudio on Twitter here!

Also for those who want to watch the vide version and missed it earlier, it’s also available here.

‘The Boys are back in town’, as Macca so magically murdered on the intro to this Podcast (the song by Thin Lizzy btw, not the actual boys!)

First of all, Simon cut out for a few seconds just before 5 mins in, so apologies for that… The delights of Sky Internet!

Si is back though after his Wedding last week, and it was good for the duo to be back together doing what they love!

Last few days of the transfer window, Premier League football is back, so as you can imagine, there was a lot to talk about..

Welcome back guys to another episode of The Si & Dan Talk Chelsea Podcast!

Si was riding solo this week, due to Dan ‘having a sore throat’ (please all send your sympathy and support). Personally I think we just worked him too hard last week - He had to write one whole article guys, so I think he just needed to rest, bless him.

Anyways, luckily we had a guest so you didn’t just have to listen to me drone on for 45 minutes!!

Former Sky Sports reporter Pete O’Rourke joined me for a transfer show to speak about all the latest noise coming out of Chelsea as we tried to piece together any potential movements this summer.

So, here are the time stamps!

First 12 mins - What Pete does, how he got where he is now, how he sources news, and his time at Sky Sports.

12.01 - Striker pursuit - Erling Haaland, Romelu Lukaku, and Robert Lewandowski.

19.00 - Chelsea working on a number of strikers at the same time. Do they need to sell more (Tammy Abraham for example) before bidding for a striker?

20.58 - Do Chelsea try and do their deals in silence?

27.13 - Declan Rice wanted by Tuchel? Will Chelsea make an offer?

31.10 - Centre back situation - Will Chelsea look to bring in another centre back? What names are being looked at?

33.25 - Mass exodus of Chelsea youth players, will that worry Chelsea?

36.30 - Pete reassures fans on Chelsea’s lack of transfer activity so far.

38.13 - Will Chelsea definitely sign a striker regardless?

39.45 - Pete’s advice for any new Reporters or Journalists just starting out.

Thanks as always for joining us guys, it’s very much appreciated!

Back next week when hopefully Dan has recovered from his big bad mean sore throat!!

For those who prefer to watch as well as listen, we have the video version available to watch here!

Pod number 36 - Which makes this the Ruben Loftus-Cheek episode, being the number on his back in previous seasons for us!

The lads had a lot to cover after a bit of a mad late week of Chelsea transfer news, so here are the time stamps for you… I know, we’re good to ya, right!?

2.12 - England vs Italy Euros final review - Is Southgate the one?

9.25 - Chelsea pre-season schedule, players who can turn Tuchel’s head and stake a claim.

13.15 - Young players not seeing a pathway into the first-team and choosing to leave/not sign new deals. - Marc Guehi to Crystal Palace (apologies for Dan’s connection loss on this bit slightly).

18.31 - Erling Haaland to Chelsea - Proposal made?

22.57 - Players being offered in Haaland deal? Hudson-Odoi future.

25.22 - Is it Haaland and no other signings? Or a cheaper alternative plus more signings?

27.30 - Kurt Zouma out, Jules Kounde in? Does Ampadu have a shout?

30.16 - Chelsea weighing up an opening offer for Declan Rice.

32.14 - Do Chelsea have any backup striker options?
