#AfterThought

Looking deeply into this team's growth, you will realize that everything and everyone needed to have some level of patience and trust with the process to get to where we are at now. From the fans calling him championship manager to the players.

The biggest of all is Sanchez. Maresca pumped him up when no one wanted to hear anything about him. For him to win the Golden glove, and for Trump to 'beg' him to be in the team celebration... This is stuff for fairytale

Another one is Chalobah. He could have hanged himself from the initial treatment if he'd have been a weak person. But the man took the blows on his chin and now is an important CoG to this team.

Reece, Enzo, Neto, Gusto, Tosin and Nkunku all had to persevere and adapt with time to Maresca's demands. They had to be in and out of the team to be what they are now. Mudryk was also coming up well.

Greatest disappointment.... Felix and Veiga. Man, we had hopes on them too. Even after leaving, their careers haven't become any better.

Deep down, I know they are silently admitting to have blundered.

Patience.

It pays with Maresca.

We lost four out of five games in January and February. 🥵

Since then, four defeats in 26 matches.
14 clean sheets. Top four secured. Conference League winners. Club World Cup champions.

Safe to say this side has really kicked on over the past few months.

I can't wait to see how we get on next season 💙

Rolling Train

Am telling you next season Maresca will be telling these kids to walk on top of sharp nails and all they will be asking is "how many sir?"

They now have him in trust and they have smelt blood.

And... We will have a big bulls eye on our backs that every one will be aiming at. Everyone will want a piece of us.

But we are different.

The PSG tactics will be reserved for a few hard cores we will be meeting here and there. The wannabe press maniacs like Newcastle, Liverpool and Barcelona.

With the PSG formation we will be both hard to press and hard to dribble past.

With the Fluminese formation both hard press and hard to defend against

With our Five man attack, and the new formation, we will be breezing through low block. Just eating them like yams.

In one game, we will have Enzo, Palmer, Neto, Pedro and Delap in attack, with a mixture of Gittens and Estevao. Teams will surrender to be whipped.

We shall do it because we will have the profile and the mentality to do it.

We will be a rolling train with no breaks.

You run or you die.

Chelsea will get 25% sell on fee if Brentford buys Omari Hutchinson from Ipswich as they need to replace Mbuemo.

Release clause is 35 million

Cole Palmer has 72 (SEVENTY-TWO) goals and assists all comps for Chelsea.

23/24: 25/15 g/a
24/25: 18/14 g/a

Elite production…and that’s without scoring for 4 months this season.

🔹 31 Chelsea appearances
🔹 7 clean sheets

Good luck for the future, Djordje! 💙

Cold Palmer 🤒

🚨 Among many possible remaining Chelsea transfer targets are Alejandro Garnacho and Morgan Rogers.

If we steer clear of Garnacho while getting in both Hato and Rogers or Eze, that's a 9/10 window. If we also drop off Jackson at ManU on the way to 70mill+ at the bank, then a 10/10 window.

Not saying Jackson should be sold but getting a huge fee for him is great in my opinion.

Really decent season from Cole if you ask me🤷‍♂️

Noni Madueke’s deal was orchestrated by agent Ali Barat. Barat has a good relationship with Chelsea as well as Arsenal’s sporting director Berta.

Xavi Simmons just hired Barat👀
