Chelsea needs to make decisions on 2024 contracts now

We have seen a 

reflected the last couple of seasons develop at Chelsea where we are looking at 

similar contract situations.

Last summer we spent the whole season admiring whether Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen were going to sign new agreements or not. And these were two players playing usually in our starting line-up, and the condition was bound to 

influence them on the pitch, I don’t care what anyone says.

This season, we have the same condition but in midfield, with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante having agreements running out in June 2023. Again, this cannot be a good condition for anyone, and truly, it should have been sorted out one way or the other sooner.

This is why Chelsea should make a clear conclusion on our 2024 agreement group right now, or at least as soon as 

feasible. If we want to expand contracts for any of the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic, Christian Pulisic, and Mason Mount, then we should be in talks now and getting those contracts sealed. But if we are not going to extend them, then we need to resolve this now and sell these players either in January or during the season.

Otherwise, we face more conditions like we have seen the last two seasons, and too much 

unreliability and unresolved players. We also get good value for these players still if we sell them in January or the season, rather than waiting.

I’m not here to discuss who we should

expand and who we shouldn’t extend right now, but I am saying we need to make consultations on them all now and resolve whether we want to open contract augmentation talks or not, it will help them all conjointly moving forward.

Ziyech has improved, but rebuild means he has to go

Hakim Ziyech to permit Chelsea this window, and for me, it should not even be a dispute. We have just signed three strikers in the shape of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Noni Madueke. Our squad is now bloated, exceptionally in the attack. We cannot roster them all currently in our Champions League squad, a player or two needs to be immolated (not physically). We are also probably signing 1/2 more players this window. Until the World Cup, I think lovely much every Chelsea fan would have told yes to selling Ziyech, including the player himself (still believe he wants to leave now). But now, I’ve seen calm a few interrogating it off the back of a good World Cup and a few satisfactory games for Chelsea. He’s been great in spells, granted, but the inconsistencies are still clear to me. We cannot sell Christian Pulisic this month because he has a long-term scratch and no club will buy him. So it has to be Ziyech I’m nervous. As I’ve said, I totally  treasure what he does bring, and wh...

Erik ten Hag’s tactical genius brings Man United victory against Leeds United

Erik ten Hag masterminded an improbable Manchester United win at Elland Road this afternoon later a wound-ravaged side looked to be heading for a stalemate against a brave Yorkshire team buoyed by the combative crowd. United was without Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial for the risky stumble over the Pennines. By the hour mark, Leeds looked the most probable to take the three points. With Jadon Sancho looking to be the star most probable to turn it around for United and center-onward Wout Weghorst looking lost, Ten Hag’s double change in the 61st minute changed the course of the sport. Sancho was replaced by juvenile Alejandro Garnacho, who has been disheartening in the last couple of games, while Tyrell Malacia was changed by Lisandro Martinez, pushing Luke Shaw back out to left back. To many fans’ astonishment, Weghorst stayed on. Garnacho replaced Marcus Rashford on the left pinion, who moved up front. Bruno Fernandes moved ...

Chelsea’s change of shape in-game is key

Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Tuesday evening in their first game back later the World Cup interrupt. It was a much-needed win and a clean sheet after stumbling form and poor performances before the break. There was one key element for me that I noticed that really helped Chelsea get the edge over Bournemouth and make it a pretty straightforward game for them in the end, and that was the in-game exchange of shape. We are starting to see elements come into our play that has clearly been implemented by Graham Potter and his team, and the shape is one of them. I also incorporated about four moves in the first half that Chelsea made that were quick one-touch passing that set us up for a savage within seconds. We have rarely seen this at Chelsea in recent seasons, with our possession play often being too slow and too labored. It was  invigorating to see some quick fluctuation and players also taking on those hard and riskier passes; that is what we need to be seeing much more, worryin...
