🗣 John Terry: "I was speaking to Tosin the other day and I was like, “What did the manager say?”
And he was like, “I’m just not in his plans. Listen, fully respect it. I’d love to kind of prove him wrong here, but I’ve been told I’d need to find another club and he’s going, I’m gutted because I’ve only been here a couple of years”.
So he’s obviously disappointed with that, Tosin, but the manager makes it really clear, so honest with the players, there’s no kind of grey area in there at all."

🗣 Ian Wright: "He [Rogers] is the one we [@Arsenal_london] were linked with ages ago and he would have loved to have come, I can feel it.
It is the player the manager wanted. Chelsea thought, well if you’re not going to pay it, we’ll pay it. I’m gutted, I would have loved him to come."

“We will have games where we have lots of possession. To have different tools and different ideas how to do it is good. We are early days. Two games, two wins but we are aware we can do better”

Are you surprised how well Alonso's Chelsea have done so quickly?
🗣 Mikel Arteta: "Not surprised, because obviously you see the magnitude and the stature of that football club, the history that they have, the squad that they have, the squad that they built again this summer, and the quality that Xabi has as a manager, and the clear ideas that he's going to install on that team to make him successful."

🗣 BBC's Ian dennis on Enzo Fernandez comments about joining a big club:
"They [Chelsea] brought him over and enhanced his career, because on the evidence of what you witnessed at the last World Cup, you wouldn't have paid that money for him.
He's had success with Chelsea, and then he's been disrespectful. I thought he showed his true colors. He lacks grace."

Paul Merson on Chelsea's summer window:
🗣 "I like the players they brought in, and players they got rid of. And for the money they got rid of them, they should be knighted. They've pulled up trees.
The money they brought in and turned around for players that never done anything really at the club and failed quite miserably, they've got rid of them for more of a profit. I think they've done absolutely amazing."
