I don't disagree with you that the coach is a huge factor.
But even the best coaches need players willing to buy into the system. Mourinho, Guardiola, Klopp, Flick—they all succeeded because their stars accepted collective responsibility.
A coach can set the structure, but if the dressing room is full of players who think they're bigger than the system, it becomes much harder. The best teams have both: elite talent and total commitment to the collective.👍
@Blue_Footy Exactly. Fans see the announcement and think the deal happened overnight. In reality, the groundwork is often laid months in advance—scouting, negotiations, contract discussions, agent talks, and financial approvals all take time.
Fingers crossed 🤞
@TheBlueDodger I feel Madrid, Barca and Atlético wanting Cucurella says more about Cucurella's level than it does about Chelsea's willingness to sell him.
@David_Ornstein@TheAthleticFC Liverpool in pole position on the player side is the key detail here — but Leipzig being “determined not to sell” usually means this becomes a price vs patience battle.
Feels early, but if LFC really want him, this is where they need to move fast before PSG turn up the heat.🤷
If Chelsea get the right tactical structure under Alonso,excluding the players we should ship out, I feel half the current squad will look 10x better.
That’s how much coaching matters.
I trust Him
If Alonso trusts them and gives the green light, then there’s nothing wrong with it.
The real problem would be forcing signings on a manager who didn’t ask for him (except the ones pre-AlonsoEra, Barco,Emegha, Penders, Quenda) then expecting him to build a system around it and deliver results.
Let the manager identify what he needs, and judge the recruitment in that context—not off fan preferences or names on a wishlist.
@FortuneMunene2@Blue_Footy People said we'd never get Alonso either. Maybe let's wait until the window actually opens and closes before deciding who Chelsea can or can't sign.👍
@Blue_Footy@reallycerys People underestimate how important this is. A full summer of recovery and pre-season can make a huge difference after years of nonstop football.
@ChelseaFC Rest in peace, Bobby Tambling. A true Chelsea legend whose legacy will live on forever at Stamford Bridge. Thoughts and prayers with his family, friends, and the entire Chelsea community. 💙
