If I was a Chelsea fan I'd be really really concerned.
They've got a squad of 43 players, 30 of which are currently deemed first-team players in the eyes of Maresca. That is already an inflated squad by PL standards (25-28 the norm).
So they've got an absolute minimum of 13 players to be moved on/ loaned out in the next two weeks and then they've got to manage the expectation of 10 highly paid disgruntled players every week.
How do they ever think they're going to get good financial deals for these players when everyone can see that they don't want them and have to get them off the books?! |  | | |  |

Yeah, it is mad. Broja's price must be dropping by the day. | | | |

I would also be really concerned that they moved on Pochettino for Maresca. On the face of it such a strange switch, even more so when you consider how well Chelsea finished the season and the performances they were showing. Top 6 in the end too, it felt like they were starting to build a bit of momentum. They should've given him another summer window to shape the squad and go again this season. Their obsession with chopping and changing managers is ridiculous, they're averaging about a manager a year for the past decade at least. Look at the best teams in the league - Arsenal who stuck with Arteta after a slow start, City who have obviously spent big but in Pep have continuity, Klopp built Liverpool back over time.
Chelsea are a car crash to spend as much as they do for so little by way of results. |  | | |

it's been a disaster class in how to not takeover a club.
It feels like they are recruiting like they are using the draft system in the NFL. Never been a fan of Chelsea and even more so after the last few years.
It's the one club i wouldn't be bothered at all if it folded. |  | | |

Forget the draft system. Seems like they are recruiting for a 90 man NFL roster.
They probably even have a specialist corner and free kick taker they've signed assuming they could come into the game as necessary.
'The goalkeeper keeps it out of the end zone right? A bit like a safety or a cornerback might do? We'll need eight of them on the roster then'. [Post edited 19 Aug 2024 9:37]

Problem is they have no interest in letting a manager shape a squad. Maresca is nothing more than a 'yes man'. Pochettino wanted to keep the likes of Gallagher/Chalobah and it seems was too opiniated for the Chelsea board.
What they are doing is absolutely unprecedented and complete madness on so many levels. They aren't getting results on the pitch (or not at the level they should be to compete at the top end) and it also seems a complete misnomer that it is going to be financially beneficial either.
The buy to sell model doesn't really work when you are paying large fees for players on long contracts (so amortised over a longer period of time). The academy products to sell are going to dry up soon and Palmer aside is there anybody they've signed that they could recoup a profit on? You have to think he will be getting a bit twitchy at the end of this season as well if they have another dodgy season and there is interest in him from elsewhere. [Post edited 19 Aug 2024 9:39]

Chelsea fans I know will always counter the chopping and changing doesn't work arguement by saying, Abramovich did the same chopping approach and it did work based on trophies.
However..
They're are really incensed with the current ownership with this ridiculous squad size situation and especially how they're treating the players who came through the youth setup.
One fan I know has family connections with Chalobah, and he was explaining Chalobah has been banished from first team training because the owners want him gone and he won't leave the club. The problem is, he knows he has no future there but Chelsea have put such a high price on his head no club will pay it, so he would leave but Chelsea's valuation is preventing him.
That treatment of the home grown players is what's upsetting the fans, players who have given everything to Chelsea from such a young age, now treated like shlt. |  | | |

They must come unstuck at some point in the next couple of years. Mudryk, Caicedo and Fernandez alone have cost them over ยฃ300 million.
Caicedo you could argue will make them better but what I've seen of Mudryk and Fernandez, they'll be sold off for a fraction what they paid for them pretty soon. Can't see them getting in Champions League any time soon which must be what their banking on.
Nothing adds up anymore. Football is broken. | | | |

Thing is, I they DO succeed then this will be copied. The potential then is a youth/academy "slave trading" system used purely to balance FFP (seen already this pre season) and an even more exaggerated lean towards the top 3, 4, or 5 who really do mop up all the talent. Not just top British players, top world players. (Especially if the like of Barcelona, and several big Italian sides, stay in financial trouble, and the Saudi league winds down). |  |

Would be funny to see one of their players running down an eight year contract.
Can you imagine the transfer saga. 'so your on ยฃ250,000 for the next eight years but you can move to another club on half that figure for only three years'

I have heard that the fee for Joao Felix is around ยฃ100 million. Felix has not lived up to his early career hype and will be a rotation player at Chelsea. They must have spent more money since Boely took over than at least 75% of the 92 league clubs have spent combined in their entire history. That is total madness. |  | | |
