Chelsea pushing to sell Enzo isn't a manager push, a player push or even a club push. I feel he has beefed with BlueCo by going against them and is paying the price.
This change from RJ is exactly what we needed to see. The captain sets the standard. Not just with ability, but you have to hold people accountable. That means you don’t always get to be the good guy. It’s a big responsibility.
Not selecting Cole Palmer at that time was still understandable as he had groin issues, but it's really mad that Joao Pedro wasn't selected after the season he had at Chelsea.

I don’t know who Reece was giving a dressing down there, either Estevao or Neto. I genuinely couldn’t tell you. I like to see this vocal leadership from him, though, it is something that we have needed more of.
This was a stupid error, I agree, but that shouldn’t change the vibe around Sanchez. He is still the better goalkeeper we currently have and has saved far more difficult shots than this.
My top 5 Caicedo pairings that Chelsea should really look at:
1.Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart, Bundesliga) — elite pass volume and progression from deep, calm under press.
2.Youri Tielemans ❌— already proven at PL pace, box-to-box with a genuine goal/late-run threat, low adaptation risk since no league adjustment needed.
3.Manu Koné (Roma, Serie A) — best defense/progression balance on this list; Serie A’s tactical rigor makes his ball-winning numbers translate reliably.
4.Nicolò Rovella (Lazio, Serie A) — excellent tempo-setter and press-resistant in tight spaces, though has an injury-durability question worth weighing.
5.Morten Hjulmand (Sporting CP, Liga Portugal) — highest raw output on this list but needs the biggest downward adjustment for league strength; still profiles as a deep-lying passer with real defensive range.
#Chelsea have explored the conditions of Julian #Alvarez’s possible deal last Thursday during the meeting in London with #AtleticoMadrid, when Atleti opened talks to try to sign Nicolas #Jackson from #CFC. #AstonVilla are also working to sign Jackson. #transfers
