🇧🇪 Chelsea manager on the similarities between Mike Penders and Thibault Courtois: “A lot of similarities. Not just the nationality, but the stature. I spoke with Thibaut as well at the World Cup. He said himself he could see resemblences with Mike.” #CFC
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso on Mike Penders: “He's ready. He's been training well. He has shown he has a good level. When he came on, in a few minutes he showed his personality and qualities. That is why we have a squad to be ready for these situations.
We wanted to have the best possible options and we decided to move with Emi. Mike is a keeper for now and the future. Working with Emi, he's having a great impact on the team and Mike.”

Joao Pedro: “I'm surrounded by world-class players like Cole Palmer, Reece [James] and Moises Caicedo.
I think my adjustment went well because it had been a while since there was a No. 9 here. Ever since my time at Brighton, I'd been keeping an eye on that spot -- even when I played against them, I knew it could be an opportunity for me -- and, thank God, when I arrived, Cole was a great friend to me; he reached out to me and talked to me.
I told him I was coming to help, that I didn't want to take his spot -- nothing like that.”

Joao Pedro: “I have Cole and Morgan there to help me, to feed me the passes -- you can see that the start of the season has been really good. So I think it's going to be a really good season for us.” (ESPN) #CFC
🇧🇷 🙏 Joao Pedro: “I said to myself: 'No, I came here, and I'm going to succeed here.' And thank God, today I'm at Chelsea.
I have a phrase tattooed on me that says: 'Just as there are bad moments, there will be happy ones too.' I try not to focus on the past... what's done is done.”

Gus Poyet: “I agree [the £100m signings have succeeded], but you would be unhappy if you paid £100m [for a player] and he wasn’t good enough.
I think the approach has changed a little bit. I remember the first [few] years of the new owners, it was all young players and long-term, massive contracts, which, depending on the character, works or does not.
You have got some young players, but you have also got experienced ones who have been around [for] a few years already. Now is a matter of consistency.”

Gus Poyet on the new transfer strategy: “I think now the Chelsea owners are looking more for specifics. They would not have signed Henderson 3 or 4 years ago.
That shows they have realised that investment was important, the future is important, but today [their strategy] is what the fans want. They do not want tomorrow. The fans want today.”

Ask those inside Chelsea and, after preaching patience, they will hail Penders’ potential as ‘huge'. One senior source even described his ceiling as 'absolutely elite'. Just try not to mention Thibaut Courtois in their company. There are some within Chelsea who are not overly fond of comparing the two. They think it heaps unnecessary pressure on ‘Big Mike’.

Those close to Mike Penders say he 'eats' pressure. One description from an old coach is that he has an ‘unbelievable mentality’. A childhood friend adds that he gets ‘more nervous than Mike does’. (via @kierangill_DM) #CFC
🤯 Imagine in 2005 someone telling you Jamie Carragher would one day be sat at Cobham interviewing his old Liverpool teammate Xabi Alonso…as Chelsea manager.
🇦🇷 Chelsea are ‘hot on the trail’ of the Argentinian attacking midfielder Nico Paz. They watched him impress against Fiorentina at the weekend, and are also sending scouts to take a closer look in the Champions League tie against Feyenoord. There is every chance they also had emissaries present for the game against Manchester United. Chelsea won’t have problems paying a huge amount, as they will monitor him ‘game after game’. #CFC (TMW via Sport Witness)
