I don't understand Pedro Neto any more. It looks like he has stopped improving.
He used to go at people 1v1 and asked the questions, now he prefers a back pass. Very frustrating.
@O_Ikechukwu018@apatajohnson2@Otulala001@kofoworola__a Exactly
Palmer was top 3 best players in epl in his first season for us. Why did he not go and request for a better deal?...at least Palmer's would would be understandable.
But what has the Enzo even done sef?. Omo, Chelsea fans sef ehh
@its__Steve_@apatajohnson2@Otulala001@kofoworola__a True. We learnt hard from the Sterling issue. Imagine we gave mount what he wanted and injuries came, how do we offload him? Same issue we're having with Fofana who is on high wage and occasionally available. Offloading him will be hard cos of his high wage
@Adexchelsea@kofoworola__a Lol, I don unfollow so many Chelsea accounts o.
I only follow very few.
I dislike people who tweet for engagement...na nonsense dem dey always tweet.
@O_Ikechukwu018@apatajohnson2@Otulala001@kofoworola__a Even the mason mount issue too.
We could not give him what he was asking for because of the new structure and our fans agreed o, it wasn't easy for the club to leg mount go.
But now it's Enzo's turn and none of them can reason again...I like Enzo but what has he actually done?
@Adexchelsea@kofoworola__a Yeah
Just for engagement, very anyhow girl.
I go soon unfollow am.... that's the reason I only read from that Vince guy.
He is one of the few that tweet without emotions about Chelsea matters.
@its__Steve_@kofoworola__a Naso she dey do. Most of her post nah just emotions and she dey do ham on purpose for engagement. Aside criticism you can't actually see her give any good take on our games. Naso most of them on x dey do
@OriginalBaht@Nanakofiwaddle@kofoworola__a 😅😅
What if he's requesting for more than 250k?
The club is not stupid bro, I'm sure they also do not want to sell him, Chelsea fans do not want him to leave too.
It was same with mount, we did not want him to go but he was just asking for too much. We don't know his ask yet sha
@its__Steve_@Nanakofiwaddle@kofoworola__a Asking for 250k can't destabilize the club. And besides he's one of our best players. so, he should be earning a good wage too more than even fofana.
@Nanakofiwaddle@OriginalBaht@kofoworola__a Yes, and that is why they're paying them that amount. Sterlings salary is the reason we still can't sell him.
Fofana has been on the same salary since he came to Chelsea do you know why they've not increased it at all since then?
Can you guess?
@OriginalBaht@Nanakofiwaddle@kofoworola__a This @Nanakofiwaddle guy is confused o.
They came after we won champions League na and then they sacked tuchel. Can't you remember?😅😅
And you dey even laugh me o😅😅.
Let's all just learn please, I like Enzo.
But ifwhat he's asking will destabilize the club then he should go.
@Adexchelsea@kofoworola__a The girl just dey vex me ehh.
Chelsea fans are not knows to seriously stan a particular player in the squad even when there's a possibility the player is wrong.
Even hazard collect criticism at some point o...but criticize Enzo and see how his stans will react
@kofoworola__a This girl go just tweet anything for engagement. So you didn't know he was signed when blueco wasn't in charge and when there's no salary cap?
@kofoworola__a Una go dey stan one single player for club wey you dey support.
Acting like United fans, it's really disappointing.
Any day that they criticize Enzo, it becomes a problem but we all criticize even palmer, caicedo and the rest o..lol
Enzo is not that special o
@its__Steve_@OriginalBaht@kofoworola__a It’s a lie…. There was no structure, the structure came in when Eghbali took over from Todd, get your facts right
Mount left before that structure came in
@Nanakofiwaddle@OriginalBaht@kofoworola__a Omo, something that you'll just research... you'll still be here arguing.
The wage structure was implemented in January of 2023 and mount left Chelsea after that season, around July I think.
Stop saying what you don't know please, just research.... it's not difficult.
@Nanakofiwaddle@OriginalBaht@kofoworola__a 😅😅
There was a structure oga, our owners set that structure in 2022 I think.
Mount and enzo played together the next season tho it was for half of the season. Sterling was sign before the structure was set. You go just dey talk and you're the one that knows nothing o
@its__Steve_@OriginalBaht@kofoworola__a During his time there was nothing wage structure, if you don’t know how it started keep quiet like sterling wouldn’t have gotten that amount
@Nanakofiwaddle@OriginalBaht@kofoworola__a Lol
Why did you guys not say this about mount too after he asked for a raise?
Enzo was not doing very well for Chelsea back then too.
@olalakesi@Ife4loove@kofoworola__a Very anyhow girl, because she likes the Enzo guy o.
Person go dey reason anyhow.
Just because we were very bad this season and enzo did really well but still not up to mount did for Chelsea or palmer did for Chelsea then he deserves everything in the world?😅😅
@RAY_MON122@_snowlys@Blue_Footy 😅😅💔
Read everything, you'll see that it's so obvious you're stupid bro....I really meant no offense when I said it cos it's honestly true.
You're so stupid and you don't realize it.
You're talking about football matters with emotions bro
✍️ I'm not someone who minces words or is afraid to say his mind. If I want Enzo gone, I will say it boldly and repeatedly. Now, to clarify, I would 1000% keep Enzo under Alonso. He's going to be extremely important in many ways. But no, Enzo and Palmer as 10s will not give us the best out-of-possession balance and effective counter-press, which are massively important for Alonso. I don't think we should drop Enzo either; I believe the close proximity of Alonso's shape will hide his shortcomings in the pivot. Alonso allows the defensive line to be very close to the midfield, and the defenders are allowed to jump in and help the midfielders mark, press, and win second balls. For me, Enzo Caicedo as a pivot should be fine if the space between the lines is tight.
Another reason we need a different profile as a 10 is to have someone who attacks and stretches the defense rather than a ball-to-feet player.
Then, on his contract: personally, this shouldn't be a topic. Whether he signs or not, he still has six years left on his deal. That's a lot. What's the rush? I want him to extend if his demands are within the scope of the structure. If his demands will force the club to break the structure, it's not advisable. We shouldn't do that. Barcelona ran into financial issues because of overspending on wages and had to force players to take pay cuts or leave. They even turned down renewing Messi or taking him back from PSG. It helped them rebuild the squad, and they are still winning, while Real Madrid, who have the money to pay big salaries, are struggling.
The point is, it's not just about money. Build a stable club, and they will improve what you are paying the players to match your earnings. Don't put yourself in trouble for any player, even if it's Messi. It's not worth it. A football team is much more than an individual.
As to why Chelsea can't overpay now: PSR and FFP are regulations put in place to force teams to pay based on their paper revenue. Basically, you aren't allowed to pay more than you earn. Sign-on fees are amortized and spread over five years max, but every wage you pay goes straight into the annual expenditure. For example, a player on £300k a week is earning £15.6m annually; if he's earning £200k, his annual earnings drop to £10.4m. The club saves £5.4m on that player's wages per year. Multiply that by four or five players on such deals and see the difference. That difference is enough to break FFP or PSR. It's not something clubs can ignore until they become financially stable and also stable on the pitch. If you make the UCL every season, such fees won't be much of a problem.
Also, there's the issue of the capacity of Stamford Bridge. We are currently earning way less than many big teams in the Premier League, and that includes Spurs. So, let me ask: with limited revenue, do we need to overpay and land in trouble? Obviously, it doesn't concern fans, but if we get to the point of a transfer ban and points deduction, it will concern everyone. Roman did it how he did it for us to enjoy success. I'm happy I had Roman as an owner—the best in the world—but we are not under him anymore, and the current owners don't want to cut corners, and rightly so.
I believe we will be back. If Alonso, with his coaching, can help us find stability on the pitch and make better decisions, we will be back for real. Like Barcelona, we don’t need to pay more than we can afford to rebuild. We just need to be smart and make good decisions that will benefit the club and not individuals. Then we will be fine.
It's a long read, but I had to be detailed. Anyone who wants to misinterpret or misunderstand me can go ahead. I have nothing more to add on both topics. Of course, this is my personal opinion.
Well done if you read to the end. I appreciate that patience. 🤝
@RAY_MON122@Blue_Footy it is not abt paying everyone at once but ones u do for one person, the others will become entitled to that when they performed well, since u did it for him, u have to do it for us too… at a long run, isn’t that doing it for everyone? wouldnt that kill the club? dont be stupid
