Chelsea have been busy this summer with signings and sales as they look to give their full backing to the new manager.
Enzo Maresca has his first win under his belt as the Blues boss, however will be keen to do so in the Premier League this weekend against Wolves.
The manager didn’t name any of his new signings in the starting side to face Manchester City last weekend, however that will likely change when they are back in action on Sunday.
One player who could be making their second debut for the Blues is Joao Felix, after he was unveiled at Stamford Bridge yesterday as their latest permanent addition.
Fans don’t believe the signing of Felix is exactly what they need, and it seems as if the main reason behind the deal was to facilitate Conor Gallagher moving the other way.
Collymore thinks Chelsea haven’t learnt Joao Felix lesson
Stan Collymore is one person who believes the club haven’t learnt from their lesson after they brought Felix in on loan in 2023.
He said to CaughtOffside: “I don’t fully understand what Chelsea didn’t know about Joao Felix that meant they desperately needed to have him coming back? For me, that’s filed under another Chelsea aberration.
“If it didn’t work the first time, what makes them think it’s going to work the second time within a year or two?”
Merson says Felix part of Chelsea’s best attack
Paul Merson believes Felix would be in Chelsea’s strongest attack right now, with Maresca certainly having some headaches to solve as far as the frontline goes for the upcoming season.
Pedro Neto is another summer signing who will be pushing for regular minutes, with him making his first start for the club last night in the Conference League.
Raheem Sterling will likely be on the move before the end of the summer transfer window, with him asking to leave the club after it has proven clear that he will not be in Maresca’s plans for the new campaign.
