Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #917

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are back for the 2022-23 season and are joined by Dan Silver and Adam Newson of Football.London.


In part one, Chidge JK, Dan Silver and Adam Newson look back at Chelsea's summer tour to the USA and the transfer business to date. Was the tour more successful off the pitch than on it? Has Chelsea done well so far with the transfers of Sterling and Koulibaly? And is Chelsea as much in crisis as the press/twitter would have us believe?


In part we look ahead to the season opener away to Everton. What will the team selection be? How was Everton's pre-season and transfer business? Is it good to get a bogey match out first and how important is it to get the new season off to a win? We wrap up discussing how we see it going and give our match predictions.
