Hey @Carra23, I hope you will see this post and read with an open mind.
I have read and heard your comments on Chelsea under BlueCo and feel that you are a bit misinformed.
BlueCo are rebuilding the entire structure of the club, including a complete makeover of the squad and you have to agree with me that with such a change, the club won't be stable in a couple of years. I feel you have forgotten what happened to Roman and the club before BlueCo took over.
In your latest article, you questioned the direction of the club compared to the club under Roman Abramovich. And also talked about how they keep buying young players. Well, I need to remind you that BlueCo's first transfer window was bold and ambitious but it ended up as one of Chelsea’s worst windows in recent history and we are still paying a big price for it today. I believe you saw Sterling to Chelsea for close to £50m as a major statement, the same with Koulibaly to Chelsea and the rest that happened in that window. Today, it doesn't look like it.
You said this about Raheem Sterling in 2018: “He deserves everything he gets. What he is doing for Manchester City now, we talk about Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne; he is in that company.”
I'm sure you don't think about him like that since he joined Chelsea. And that uncertainty is likely one of the reasons BlueCo decided to rebuild with young players on low wages and high resale value, because if any mistake is made, we won't be in a situation where we struggle to sell and recover our funds and it has proven to be the case so far.
The downside is on the pitch, but we are looking for balance not perfection at the moment. On-field stability will come when the rebuilding process stabilises.
The misconception here is, Chelsea owners are patient with the rebuilding of the squad and putting together a sustainable structure, and aren't in a hurry to throw everything out of the window and gamble in the name of trying to win the league or compete for the biggest trophy immediately. It's an illusion to think we have arrived despite winning the CWC.
You talked about not signing Maignan or Donnarumma. Maignan was going to cost €25m. Why spend that much on a player whose career is going down and isn't a clear upgrade? PSG decided not to renew Donnarumma's contract because of the wages he was demanding was outrageous according to reports. Only City or Man United who generate a lot more than Chelsea can afford that. I expect a former professional footballer of your status to understand that the financial aspects of football today are as important as the sporting aspect. You talked about how many Billions Chelsea have spent but I haven't heard you talk about how much Chelsea have generated or how they have managed to bring down excessive wage structure under the new owners. This summer, we basically made more than we spent. Or does it not matter?
So, try and understand that the model isn't geared towards winning or competing immediately but for a more sustainable winning culture and financial future. You don't have to like it to understand it, and add context to your analysis.
Thanks.

🚨 César Azpilicueta will play his final game at the Metropolitano this Sunday, not extending his contract with Atlético.
Azpi won’t return to play for Premier League clubs out of respect for Chelsea.
He can stay in Europe with good project or move to another continent.
Kyle Walker on Reece James:
🗣 “I think we’re all different, if you were to mix me, Trent and Tripps together you’d get Reece James.
His delivery from set-plays and crossing is incredible. Defending and attacking, he’s very, very balanced.”
