โ[Thatโs] impossible here. Itโs impossible for me to be judged [from] next season. Itโs not ideal [coming in midway through a season].

โIโm very fortunate, I think the team is very well coached already and have a very strong identity in the way they want to play, that is clear. I understand that I have similarities in the way that I want the team to play as well, which will help the translation process from one coach to another. But I am not going to make excuses.
โIโm here because Chelsea is expected to win - rightfully so - every game that they play and you have seen with managers in this league and in other leagues in Europe, if you donโt then you are in trouble.
โI need to manage to win in the short-term but also I need to have an eye on the long-term as well so we can be successful over that period.โ

๐๐๐๐๐: Leo Castledine has left Chelsea and completed a permanent transfer to Middlesbrough. ๐ค
Castledine has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Championship side. โ๏ธ
Joining Chelseaโs Academy in March 2020 as an Under-15 from AFC Wimbledon, Castledine was developed and featured the following season for the Under-18s while a schoolboy and captained the side regularly during the 2021/22 campaign.
He stepped up to play Under-21s football during the 2022/23 season and showcased his impressive versatility, playing in defence, midfield and in the frontline as they reached the Premier League 2 play-offs.
After a good start to the campaign that followed, Castledine was named on the first-team substitutes bench on several occasions. His debut came in a League Cup semi-final second leg victory over Middlesbrough, as he was introduced late on in a 6-1 victory for the Blues.
In August 2024, he joined Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan that was unfortunately cut short by injury the following January. He returned to League One at the start of this season with Huddersfield Town and produced several impressive performances for the Terriers, with 12 goals scored in 27 appearances.
All the best, leo castledine! ๐ช

๐ฃ๏ธ Liam Rosenior on Chelseaโs 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic [A] in the FA Cup third round:
๐ค โI was very happy with the attitude of the team, even in the first-half. This is not an easy place to come, third round of the FA Cup.
โI felt our press was very intense and really good. I felt we controlled the game, created a couple of chances from outside the box. The goal came at a really good time. It was a fantastic finish from [Jorrel] Hato.
โThe game opens up second-halfโฆwe know we have outstanding players. I was able to bring on some outstanding players from the bench. But I have to say I was delighted with the starting XI too.
โI believe in this group. I believe in all of them. And if we want to have a really strong season, we need to use them (all).
โI need to put faith into them, and they repaid my faith today. And theyโve given me real cause for optimism for the future.โ

โMalo, Cole and Reece were precautionary today. I donโt want to take any risks at this stage of the season. They had minor knocks from the Fulham game.
โI feel like Iโve got such a good squad here, I donโt need to risk their health at the moment. We have a huge game on Wednesday. We have a huge game on Saturday. And Iโll check the medical reports tonight and tomorrow morning and see how they are then.โ
