Napoli paid over €60 million for Oshimen, they'll want to make a profit on him.

As far as I've seen, the majority of Chelsea fans have quite rightly criticised Enzo.

The club has to manage this appropriately, or it will tear apart any chance of a cohesive squad and ruin our season before it's started. I'm not sure that there's a path where the black players feel justice has been served and Enzo is part of the preseason squad.

Maybe they're waiting for the end of this period of FFP (or whatever it's called)? I think it's June 30th.

I don't think he starts until 1st July.

This is all media gossip, nobody from, the club has actually stated this.

What else are they meant to say? There was no one else available so we've taken a punt on him, fingers crossed it'll work out.

Enzo Maresca should last at least two seasons. Summer and Autumn! 😆

We need to embrace the Conference League. If we win it, we'll be the only club to have won all of Europe's trophies. Hopefully, this will be our last opportunity for the foreseeable future to win in.

What you have to remember is the odds only reflect the risk to the bookmakers, not the chances of something happening. If there's a flurry of bets for someone, they'll lower their odds to protect themselves, even if they believe someone else is going to get the job.

Sebastian Hoeness wouldn't be the worst choice in the world. He's the big young thing in Germany.

I'd suggest that this is a little out of date. Here's a more up to date analysis of Chelsea towards the end of the season:

It won't be all bad to be in the European Conference League. The lower standard of opposition will allow greater opportunity for rotation. Also if we win it, we'll be the only club to win every European trophy.

I agree. I previously always thought he looked like a slob and maybe even a bit oafish, but fair play to him, he's looking a lot better.

Todd Boehly's been on a health kick! I didn't recognise him on recent a BBC article!

I've heard that one of the punishments that the Premier League is considering for Man City is forcing them to have Harry Kane in their squad for the next 5 years. I think that 5 years without any silverware would be an appropriate punishment.

Mudeuke, Palmer and Mudryk are all terrible at tracking back, so Caicedo and Gallagher are going to have to keep on top of things.

It's going to be a long painful night.

Didn't the new owners lay off our previous medical department?

If the figures are correct, then if the current plans go through spending will be capped at £0.5 billion a year. This won't stop the Premier League dominating.

Hansi Flick?

I disagree. He's come from a team that's organised, where he knows his and his teammates roles clearly, to a disjointed mess. What you see as him being slow, is probably him being one step behind, always trying to catch up. Let's not forget that Liverpool were happy to match our bid. There's no way they'd paid that money if they weren't pretty certain there's one helluva player in there.

I don't think that Caicedo's game suits being the anchor man, he's a box to box player who's endless energy will allow him to cover every blade of grass. To keep him holding his position to screen the defence takes a lot away from his game. This is a role that Lavia is massively suited.

I agree about Hansi Flick, he's my number 1 choice. I don't think that we need to give up on our defence, I believe that the team just needs to be coached better so everyone knows their job. You can see other teams with inferior defenders than Chelseas defend a lot better than Chelsea.

I think the injury to Lavia has hit the team hard, or to be more exact, the mismanagement of his injury. I think that Chelsea could have rotated the midfield a bit more to keep it fresh with him as well as being able to provide more of a stable base when needed.
