Show Notes
Pre-season is officially underway and the Straight Outta Cobham team are here to talk about it.
Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Cerys Jones and Simon Johnson from Down Under as the Blues start the Xabi Alonso era with a 6-4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers in Australia.
A nine minute hattrick from Joao Pedro with lots of strong performances from youngsters. So what did the panel make of it all? And what are Simon’s first impressions of the new boss?
Dom Fifield joins to give a little more insight into the benefits of signing Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace.
And Chelsea are close to signing both Jordan Henderson AND Danny Welbeck. Where has this interest in players over 34 come from? And does it signal a change in strategy at the club?
