How do you assemble the most expensive squad in history, only to finish 10th, ceding a European spot to a newly promoted side?
Chelsea is the worst project in football.
Enzo Fernandez is one of the names mentioned internally at Man City should they not be able to agree on a fee for Elliot Anderson, who will be very expensive.

Lavia should be sold/loaned. Great player but he is far too unreliable. On the other hand, Andrey Santos is a fantastic squad rotation option but he should not be starting consistently.
It would take 2 players plus cash for me to even consider this. Aurelien Tchouameni is the obvious choice since it is reported that he liked Xabi Alonso and didn't want him to leave. He would add physicality and solidarity to the midfield. Dean Hujsen is the other one for me.
🚨According to sources, if Enzo does go to Real Madrid, expect Chelsea to ask for a player or two from them
With this information, who should Chelsea ask for in return for Enzo Fernandez?
Don’t forget before the “wage structure” started BleuCo sold every high wage earners at the club now the young inexperienced kids they signed have now grown and started requesting for big salaries,, they are about to sell them and by another set of young players
Lewis Hall is the obvious Cucurella successor/replacement. On the other hand, we cannot replace Enzo Fernandez's goals, assists, leadership, tactical flexibility etc. Bruno Guimaraes and Aurelien Tchouameni would be the only ones I would consider.
🚨🔵 Chelsea agree deal to sign Valentín Barco, here we go! 🇦🇷
Agreement in place with the player as RC Strasbourg will let Barco go after impressive improvement this year.
#CFC ready to proceed for the Argentinian midfielder from June.
if enzo goes people will realise sooner rather than later that he was carrying that midfield. not a single midfielder out there who we can sign who will replace what he brings to the team, a shambles from the top down
Colwill, Acheampong, Hato, Cucurella, Reece, Moi Caicedo, Santos, Enzo, Palmer, Steve and Joao Pedro can all stay. The rest can go as far as I am concerned. That is 11 players put of 30. Awful squad building. I can't believe the sporting directors are still in a job. #Chelsea
Look at what the owners have done to this football club. Our fan base accepts mediocrity. I am disgusted. All of these players individually are good, talented players in their respective positions but they are not Chelsea standard yet.
If Valentin Barco is the Enzo or Cucurella replacement it is the perfect representation of these owners ignorance. Xabi Alonso was the one step forward. This is the ten steps back. #bluecoout
