I have a feeling that Maresca will be slightly different from his predecessors under Boehly.
Unlike them, he will not get to spend silly money before getting sacked in October.

Not sure his predecessors did either, they appeared to be signed regardless.

Conceded 12 in 5 games in preseason.
Looks like they’ll be facing the same defencive frailties as they had last season

They’re deffo still paying Lampard.
How can a club have SEVEN first team keepers??? Most of the clubs have three and one of them is either Adrian or his kid.

In fairness Lucas Bergstrom and Eddie Beach are very much not first team players.

Yeah, a number of those are still young players more than established first team seniors.
Doesn’t change the fact that they’re still a large squad.

Why do players do it?
It’s like women shacking up with serial adulterers. He’ll change for me. He won’t mess me about
Life changing money, on a 7 year deal…might be the best money these unknown players make.

Always looked like a good player. That is whenever he plays. But he has been injured alot for the last 3 seasons, Chelsea taking another risk…remember Lavia?
I don’t really understand how Chelsea keep signing so many players and stay within the rules.
How the fuck are they getting away with this? Has to be some form of money laundering. Doesn’t make any financial or football sense in how they are running their club
