Winning the Champions League, back in 2021, now seems so far away. Chelsea have changed completely in recent years and this was shown in the squad for Thursday's meeting with Servette in London for the Conference League qualifiers.
All of them are at the top level of football. They could comfortably still wear the blue shirt and help Chelsea's bid to return to titles. It's truly unimaginable when anyone considers the players the London club has given away, not honoring the work being done in their infrastructure departments...
Conor Gallagher has rejected a late contract offer from Chelsea with Atletico Madrid in advanced discussions over signing the midfielder for around €40million.
Not long ago, Lille recorded the most expensive sale of a defender in Ligue1 history with the transfer of Leni Yoro to Manchester United. And yet, this transfer was simply the next step of a series of sales that reveal LOSC's awesome understanding and organization around business in football!
Enzo Maresca is starting to think about possibly giving Mark Guiu on loan so he can get more playing time, but the young striker, who left Barcelona for Chelsea this summer, can prove to him that it will take very little time to prove that he has everything that blues are searching for!
Victor Osimen has long emphasized that he has made his decision. And it seems that he will not continue with the Napoli shirt. Premier League is calling him, he wants the step in the top league and the english capital seems to be his most likely destination. Except that he will have to face the dilemma: "Arsenal or Chelsea"...
Moises Caicedo needed time to adapt to Chelsea and assimilate what Pochettino wanted from him. And that amount of time caused doubts and talk about his quality and of course the cost of his transfer. In the amazing finale of the "blues" in this year's Premier League, he showed why the team and the fans had to be a little more patient with him.
After he was deemed unready to get playing time at the top level, having not put faith in him, Omari Hutchinson got his «revenge» at Ipswich, helping the team get promoted to the Premier League! His succeess was a perfect «answer» to Arsenal and Chelsea for the decisions they made.
Another two goals conceded in Birmingham. The negative harvest is constantly increasing. There used to be a "fortress" at the back and scoring against Chelsea was one of the most difficult assignments. This now seems far away. The goals conceded by the "blues" this year, took... three seasons time to reach these levels, during the Mourinho era!
Enzo and Disasi entered the blue's injury list and the number now has... double digits! It's not an excuse for Pochettino this year, it's a big and painful reality. The problems are endless and the full medical record is the biggest proof.
