Chelsea are behind Liam Rosenior and sympathise that he has come into a situation where the squad is said to be ‘knackered’ and has not had appropriate time to implement his ideas. Summer target lists are underway with all eventualities being considered, as Chelsea feel UCL qualification will likely come down to fine margins in May. There is no current suggestion that the model will be changed. Chelsea also feel that contract statues with many current stars wanting more money is further proof that it would not be wise to chase signings that would be looking for a high base salary. The club want players to be together as a team and earn their money. There is not an appetite to create an entitled and unhealthy culture and the cost to risk ratio is high. Directors are working within the financial restrictions and the model put in place by Behdad Egbhali. There may be an odd exception but generally this is what I’m told. The club are open to spending high transfer fee’s but not salaries straight away. 1/3…

Sources say there is a small split within the squad already over Rosenior’s tactical game plans. Some players feel that his style of play is not in line with the moment of the season, and that he is only making things more difficult, especially with the lack of recovery time between matches. Rosenior said after the 0-3 defeat to PSG that there has to be a recognition that some players have played over 100 games in 18 months. A source replied today : “Yet has them playing like mad men!” 2/3…

Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and at least two other players have rejected at least one proposal for a salary increase in recent months. Malo Gusto is said to be a player who has high ambitions and is also looking for a pay increase. 3/3.

In terms of targets I’ve not heard much outside the usual names like Morgan Rogers. Wharton and Baleba are two targets amongst others the club like for a potential midfield addition, but much will depend on what happens with Lavia’s fitness, Enzo and Essugo. On outgoings, it’s expected that at least three centre backs will look to be sold. Chelsea will likely brief confidence in them to not de value and deter offers. The striker and goalkeeper situation is also going to be reviewed, with Liam Delap not doing as well as some inside the club expected. 4/4.

@MaxFSport With everything I just read, it's a whole circus in the Chelsea team right now, from the owners to the sporting directors, managers and players everyone is confused. This is not a club that's United anymore.

@MaxFSport So players are already turning down contract offers seems like losing our best players is next wave of madness we chelsea fans have to experience

@MaxFSport “On outgoings, it’s expected that at least three centre backs will look to be sold.” Chalobah Badiashile Tosin…

Pick which twin will win! You could score a share of $2 million in Bonus Bets.

@MaxFSport That would make sense. Midfield may depend on who stays, but goalkeeper, striker and centre-back all still look like obvious priorities.

@MaxFSport Yeah Egbitchly is helping pick the team...as suspected.

@MaxFSport Who in their right minds actually thought Delap was going to be chelsea level and do well here No way people get paid 6/7 figures to bring these shite players here

@MaxFSport Whoever expected Delap to do well (Shields?) is deluded. Gusto can get in the bin. Dreadful footballer. Rogers would be another Shields-inspired disaster as he is the most overrated player in the league

@MaxFSport Whoever thought Delap would be the solution to our striker problem needs to be quartered and drawn

@MaxFSport Read this whole thread and laughed. We coulda told these sh*t directors in the summer Delap was gash and any word about their ‘investment’ Garnacho 😹

@MaxFSport Thanks for the info.

@MaxFSport all the center back need to go out except colwill, delap & guiu out jorgensen out garnacho & neto & gittens out lavia & essugo out

@MaxFSport 👀

@MaxFSport Signing a couple of new defenders is MUST.

@MaxFSport Palmer that autism looks definitely need to go . Bloody virus
