Enzo Maresca 🗣️ “Last season, I watched Chelsea, and I didn’t see any man-to-man pressing. That actually surprised me because, in modern football, it’s kind of necessary. We'll work on that this season." Pochball🤣

💬Chelsea are looking to part with more players in January and Carney Chukwuemeka will be one of the players leaving. FC Barcelona have identified Chukwuemeka as a target and the Blues are willing to consider offers in the region of £30 million for him this winter. The 21-year-old midfielder is a fringe player in Maresca's squad and has made just one appearance this season, in the Carabao Cup. Although he is considered a great talent, he is seen as a player Chelsea could sell in the coming transfer window.🗯

Hmm good question I think the opponent today was not very good!!!

🗣️ João Félix: "I'm here to fight for a place in the starting 11. Then it depends on the coach to choose who will play. But I'm doing my job. I'm working and every time I can, I try to up the team." Enzo Maresca: "It is better for the team and for the players. Today, if you just play one position; I don't think it's enough. You need to learn to play more positions." 💬Glen Hoddle: "When I look at Chelsea’s forwards, I think Christopher Nkunku would be more clinical than Nicolas Jackson if he had the same time on the pitch and had his chances so far this season."

I think Chelsea are on a great and successful path but still need to replace some players with better ones in the winter and summer window!!!! -Sanchez didn't play today but not enough for our ambitions. -Disasi wrong signing far too one dimensional player. -Badiashile makes too many mistakes and has improved too little or not at all for almost 2 years since he arrived. -Chilwell is not valued by Maresca, he earns a lot and is very often injured. -Bettinelli earns almost 2 million a year and never plays in the Team Whatsapp group. -Bergström doesn't have the necessary Chelsea level. -KDH pointless signing was never a fan of him has not convinced me for 30m so far. -Chukwuemeka he is also not rated highly by Maresca and will unfortunately be sold on. Chuck was also recommended by Neil Bath. -Casadei he will also go back to Serie A in winter or summer. He was still a Neil Bath signing in 2022 -Guiu he absolutely has to be loaned out to play a lot of games to learn a lot more. Come On Chels✍️💙

Yes ✅️✍️ and you?

Gyökeres is the real Deal pls Chelsea sign him🙌

I also think that Ruben Dias and R. Araujo are not available. I think since A.Silva has slowed down Benfica would let him go for less than his €100m clause. Tomas Araujo also has an exit clause of €100m Simon also said Chelsea want a right back. I think Veiga could slip into the role behind Colwill after the Badiashile departure.

💬Today according to Simon Phillips Chelsea have the central defenders -Ruben Dias -Thomas Aurajo -Antonio Silva -Ronald Araujo (injured for a long time) Selected for the shortlist. Chelsea are also keen to sell Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile in January or the summer💙✍️✅️

Summer 2025, Lukeba’s first release clause will come into effect (€90m). From the summer of 2026, the clause will decrease to €65m

Castello Lukeba has agreed to sign new deal at RB Leipzig valid until June 2029. FabriceHawkins reports. Lukeba remains on Real Madrid and PL clubs’ list for 2025 but he will NOT leave in January.

Shakhtar Donetsk general director Sergiy Palkin claims Chelsea have no clue how to use Mudryk: 🗣️ “You don’t need a Ferrari if you don’t know how to drive it. A normal car will do. If you buy a Ferrari, you should think about how to handle it. That’s my opinion on Mudryk at Chelsea.”

There is a feeling in the game that Saudi state is ultimately eyeing a bigger club, with rumours about Chelsea and Liverpool. (@Independent)

Jamie Carragher: "In terms of control of the game, Chelsea were better, but what let them down was the goalkeeper. They need a new goalkeeper if they want to get back to where they want to be." (@SkySports)

Enzo Maresca: "I'm very happy with Robert [Sanchez], he's doing fantastic with us. Not only in building from the back but also making saves." (@bbc5live)

💬According to Simon Phillips, Chelsea are very interested in signing Ronald Araujo and Tomas Araujo for the IV.✅️
