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)

Christopher Nkunku was asked about a possible Barcola-Nkunku duo on the PSG side, but he preferred to laugh about it before declaring: "I don't know what to say to that but yes PSG is still a big club but there have been no approaches, nothing at all" And Maresca has fallen in love with Wesley Fofana and he sees the 23-year-old as a key part of his project going forward. designed a special strategy in order to keep the player fit and minimise the workload on him. Apparently, they have a strict policy of playing the defender once a week in order to avoid injuries. The strategy will remain in place until the start of 2025. {L'Equipe)

Right back scouting starting up now Reece James does have interest from Real Madrid, and sources do expect that one to potentially heat up again. But the ball would entirely be in Chelsea’s court. One source has actually hinted that Chelsea would be keen to listen to offers for James due to his injuries, however, this isn’t quite a universal feel around the club and the board, at least not yet. via@SimonPhillips
