Clubs will have seen how Havertz and Mount have integrated in their new squads and done nothing.

They'll also note that Chelsea now need to sell a couple of players each summer to pay for what they already have, coupled with the knowledge that PSR breaches mean points‘ deductions.

Next summer might be harder to sell players for top dollar given the above.

They will have noted no such thing. If they have identified a player from Chelsea that can help them that Chelsea are willing to sell, clubs will buy their player and not give one iota of thought about 'helping Chelsea'. Mount has been injured anyway. No one is looking at that and thinking 'failed integration'.

Chelsea will sell players again no problems, and people will moan about clubs 'helping Chelsea' again.

People said this last summer but in the end clubs are more interested in helping themselves than this alternate reality where they're supposed to care so much about sticking it to Chelsea. Why would Arsenal and United have Havertz and Mount miss half of their preseason preparations?

If Wolves really want Broja, for example, then they're gonna pay the money to get him in early because that would be good for their own preparations.

We will see, I suppose. Last summer was before points deductions for failing FFP, of course. Things have changed now. Risks are higher and ability to exert pressure also. Tbf, though, I thought Chelsea were fucked last year for FFP so maybe they know what they are doing, after all ....

Yeah we will see.

You may end up being right but I see doom mongering predictions around Chelsea a lot. We were told last summer we were fucked because there's no way we'd be able to sell 15 players. We sold half the squad, a lot of them for decent fees, despite the entire world knowing we were about to have a fire sale.

That's right. Sell the other half of the squad this summer and you will be fine :)

Don't need to do that this summer as we don't have a 40 man squad full of uninterested senior players. We may have to trim around the edges, sell a couple of players, maybe get in one marquee signing and go again next season.

That's awful. He's hardly played for you n' all.

I genuinely feel awful for him. They even delayed his return to make sure he was 100% right and fit and then he gets injured again 30 mins of football with a new unknown return date. My guess is we won't see him until next season.

That's very unfortunate pal , such a promising player as well. Hopefully he'll come back fit and stay fit, and fulfil the expectations of him.

Teething problems. Not Enzo related.

Albert Steptoe had teething problems.
You sound very much like a United fan over the last ten years or an arse fan when arsene whinger was in his last few years. Until you face the reality you are setting yourself up for disappointment

Why? Because I have identified different problems within the club and that I think Enzo is a fantastic brilliant player? You’re gonna have to explain this one to me.
 
Teething problems with the players you have brought in? I personally think Enzo is a good player (not £100m but not many are). Chelsea’s problems are not mere teething problems, Boehly seems to have little idea how to run a premier league club.
You seem to think everything will be fine in a matter of time, the team will naturally gel but I think Chelsea are miles away. The link to Utd and arse fans is because one good result always means they are back. You seem a tad optimistic about your team.
Maybe I could word that better
 
Hopefully they will have one eye on the cup final when they pitch up at ours on Saturday. They are a tricky side at the minute. As in you don't know which Chelsea are gonna turn up!

A big Big ask but I hope they play shite on Saturday and like prime Real Madrid the following week at Wembley.

Marquee signing you say, this one?
