Both are valid. It's just a matter of time to sign Marc Guiu based on reports from Fabriano.
Meanwhile for Omari Kellyman, the deal has been fixed for signing Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa with a £19m deal..
That young Attacking Midfield is one of the great signings for Chelsea with a contract for the next 6 years.

And there is also the option to extend the year. Oh yes, Omari Kellyman will start training with his team-mates at Chelsea starting in pre-season which will be held next month. Now we just have to wait for other fantastic signings that can really strengthen the squad enough, so that it can be different from last season.

It's very interesting recently to discuss Chelsea hunt to focus on bringing in young players in every line and this seems to have been Enzo Maresca goal in carrying out a major overhaul and is enthusiastic about bringing Chelsea to its glory days.

BTW, talking about the hunt for new players, I also heard that Chelsea is eyeing a player from Leicester (Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall) who Maresca always praises. But Chelsea this time seems to have to compete with Brighton who have already swapped Jakub Moder for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (news from Fabrizio Romano).
"Jakub Moder already completed first part of medical for Leicester City"
(^{Correct me if this has been discussed before})

Meanwhile, from this article, I believe that KDH has a greater chance of joining Chelsea because of the player's closeness to Maresca.

"Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is hoping for a reunion with Leicester City star Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as the Blues have sent a formal offer to the Foxes for the midfielder"

They are so bad but it’s just the level of inconsistency despite having so many good players. I believe if a better coach should handle these players they will be more productive than under Ten Hag. I doubt if he is even able to identify the areas that needs to be improved on, he seem confused and at this point I would advise they replace him with a better manager that can lead the team to glory.

I've mentioned times without number that the problem with Chelsea lies on their coach, I feel like he lacked the ability to effectively manage the players at his disposal. I don't think it is true to say that Chelsea lacks the squad depth they require to challenge the status quo but lacks the ability for effective management of those players. We have the likes of Romelu Lukaku who haven't been used effectively yet a lot of money have been spent on his transfer and so on.

I don't think, the Chelsea manager lack ability to manage the players because you saw what happened when the premier league competition was coming to an end this season, that made Chelsea players to start withstanding many teams to reduced their points to top Manchester united and other teams. If Chelsea managements can give the manager some years to manage the team, I think it will allow this manager to find solution to the problem of Chelsea and Chelsea players will begin to display like Manchester city players every player wish to be like. Chelsea managements made a good choice to release Romelu Lukaku to bring in this new players which their fans know that they are going to perform well next season.

Nevertheless, Enzo Maresca deserves the opportunity to prove himself, hopefully the former Liecester manager can live up to expectations in his first season. If Chelsea players avoid the storm of injuries, Enzo Maresca task will become easier, but if it happens again like last season, then I doubt Enzo Maresca can handle it as well as Pochettino.

On the other hand, Chelsea looks like it will be difficult to compete with City and Arsenal in the race for trophies, they need great luck to be able to challenge for the title next season. The most realistic target is to finish in the top four of the standings, and get a ticket to return to playing in the Champions League.

Enzo Maresca must be able to rotate his players when there is a storm of injuries so as not to get bad results from every match, remember that Pochettino is an example of a coach who fought hard until the end of last season to bring Chelsea to good results at the end of the season but at In fact, he was eliminated, of course Enzo Maresca also knows this, the board wants better results from Pochettino in the new season, at least being in the top four or getting any trophy, even if it's not the EPL, because it's definitely difficult to compete with two strong teams like Manchester City. and Arsenal.

I think the new season will belong to Arsenal where this team always fails and is runner up in the EPL which has taught them a lot to play better every season and of course in this new season it seems they are much more ready to win the EPL because of course they have the mentality of being champions. has been instilled since last season, I think Chelsea has no chance of winning the EPL because the desire of a strong team like Arsenal will stop any team from moving, Enzo Maresca should recruit a lot of young players to be a second layer so that when an injury storm occurs he can rotate his players so that keep playing well.

This shouldn't have been a deal the Blues are suppose to be happy to get to be honest with you, I don't think Chelsea need any more players because they have all it takes to be stronger again, they get in players but yet to let go off some players is a problem. The Blues are acting like the 3 Lions of England, they want everything just to be winning trophies but is not working. The player they signed can't bench any player in the Chelsea squad that is playing same position as him, highest is to send him on loan or the B team to play.
Chelsea have lots of players who haven't been in action since they signed for the club and that position (Attacking Midfield) is not even the problem of the club. To me I'd say get a good striker to get them goals because without lots of goals you're winning nothing, make Jackson competen for his position as a striker and sell some players like 2-3 players who haven't been active at the club, not getting more players to confuse the manager, signing teenagers who lack experience all in the name of building the team isn't the solution to their problem.

Personally, I think the problem is both and indeed yeah the coach is probably the main factor, when the new coach is unable to make all the players into a solid team then the results are not optimal. Apart from that, Chelsea management also has the same role in Chelsea's failures in the last few seasons, they are impatient and want to see instant results while sometimes coaches need more time to change the team for the better.

The coach will be the first person to blame when a team fails to perform well, but we also have to see how Chelsea management always makes hasty decisions regarding their coach. The reason is that they don't give the coach much time, in fact they only give the coach one season and then they fire him.
Many teams fail in their first season with their coach, but in their second season many finally make good progress and now Chelsea is not doing that.
Pochettino, for example, had to be fired at the end of this season, even though in terms of his game I think he could show progress, Chelsea were not satisfied so they fired him. It is very difficult for a coach if he is only given a very short time.

I absolutely second this your opinion. I see Chelsea action as an attribute of money in the wrong hands because they’re not making use of the money properly. Aside signing players on the wrong time, the contract deals are always long which is very wrong. Majority of these players they’re signing have less significant roles to play in the squad and moreover, there are available experienced players who can handle the position they play. There’s no point in wasting money to sign players who will sit on the bench.

The key position that needs much attention is the striker and Chelsea seems to neglect it. Perhaps, they still want to rely on Jackson who utilizes one chance after wasting ten chances. Chelsea is not longer in a building stage that requires all these players, the club is already established and should be competing with their likes. Since last season, some players they signed did not play more than once or twice but they still prefer to bring more players to occupy their bench while they continue to pay their wages.

The management of a club could also play a role to the failings and failures of any club. ( A good example would be Napoli last season as the management made poor decisions that didn't help matters. Secondly, I'd say the owners of Manchester United the glazers who didn't care about the club but making profits.
Also, the management refusal to back a manager properly can also lead to stuffs like this also. The coach is also included and I completely agree with you on that.

Chelsea is a club who's got no patience for any coach, and lately coaches that are brought in are not given the freedom to do what they want. It's sad to see that they'll always want to influence the decisions of thr coach. Chelsea FC is a good example of what I'm saying.

Pochetino was beginning to do well and the players fighting and backing for him. I just don't know the discussion he had with Todd Boehly, so it's what it is.

In as much as the problems most of the clubs normally  have is mostly as a result of inexperienced coaching but in the case of Chelsea i wouldn't put all the blame on there coach, though before I use to think that there coach is actually the reason why they have not been going far on the premier League but I have come to realize that the coach and the players needs to come together with one mind and understanding before they could possibly go far on every season, however the reason why I will no longer blame the coach is that even the other coach before him could not improve the club and there performance was still almost like this.

I understand why Maresca is keen to get players he knows well into the team, but it seems to me that first he should make good use of those that Chelsea already have. Chelsea had a good end of the season and Pochettino built a good base from which it would be worth starting to work, rather than trying to change everything again and attract new and especially young players, which means building the team in a new way.

Maresca has different tactics so it's natural that he wants players who he thinks can carry out his tactics, and this is a common thing that happens to all coaches.
I agree with Maresca, and I hope that Chelsea management fully supports all of Maresca's wishes to be able to build Chelsea the way he wants.

Chelsea's new coach Enzo Maresca is a coach who is quite popular now after he succeeded in bringing Leicester promotion to the Premier League, which proves that Enzo Maresca has good qualities.
I think there's no need to doubt it.

[DanWalker]

I won't take this too seriously because Ruud van Nistelrooy is not someone who has experience in the coaching field so I don't think the impact will be too big if Manchester United management appoints Ruud van Nistelrooy as Ten Hag's assistant.

Manchester United's management built this team as if they didn't have a clear plan, now they trust Ten Hag too much and always fulfill Ten Hag's wishes in recruiting players, but Ten Hag has not succeeded in improving Manchester United's performance.
But now we see that they are going through a process and we have to respect and also wait for the results of this process.

Few things are never been look good or as we want, but these are having big impact on few players and teams for improving their performance same happening in this case right now we all know Manchester United is having few top players which can do much better than expectations, and they are not able to do on this way so having legendary player like Ruud Van Nistelrooy is surely going to have good impact on their performance, and we can expect better results from their strikers which are best.

Here I am agreed as they are building their team without any plan, but you can't expect anything good with long term strategy from the business mind peoples like Glazers which are running this club for years but fail to bring good results which is surely their failure.

Xcode7, What I am fearful of is, is it going to be too late by the time Manchester United decides to remove Ten Hag from the managerial position of Manchester United? He has already had a very bad result in the last season. Who knows what he is going to achieve in the upcoming season? I hope that Manchester United is absolutely transparent with him. I hope they have told him that they are not going to give him much money from now on and he will have to prove himself first with the squad that he has right now. And to be honest he is probably not going to improve the situation of Manchester United. I just cannot trust a coach that blames the players for not being able to win almost every time.

I think this is a statement that suits what happened to Chelsea, they were impatient to wait for the process that the coach was going through so they were quick to fire them when they felt that there were no targets that could be achieved. In fact, in my opinion, the process is one part that can be a consideration for management to try to give coaches an opportunity and they can talk about that when they carry out evaluations.

You also gave a good example of a team that ended up experiencing bad performance, one of which was a team that also came from the Premier League, Manchester United. They have management that doesn't seem to care about achievements, I agree with you. In fact, we remember that some time ago the supporters urged that Manchester United's management be changed or that the owners of Manchester United should sell this team.

Management is an important factor in a club, their role is to organize and supervise so that their team can achieve extraordinary achievements.

[Obim34]

I'm still watching out more Chelsea signings, they have quite the good coach as much people believe but I seek evidence to see if he fits in perfectly. If Maresca really is good as they say then definitely Chelsea will see top four in the Premier League, also qualifying for the Champions League. It would be a tough one, since there are new signings and coach but the end results will be extraordinary.

I also expect Chelsea to rank atleast top three this coming season considering how much they are spending on players, it is approachable, i feel the strong opponents left to oppose them is just Arsenal and Manchester City, the rest could be dealt with.

I don't know why I still have a feeling that nothing will change about Chelsea for now. Because the other clubs are at it already they just need to improve but Chelsea are still trying to get their so they need more to make thing happen. If it is about spending money Chelsea is actually spending but spending and not getting the desired results is not just a thing for every management. Chelsea's management are desperate at this moment but I feel they still need to be advice to have patience. That is the only way they can get what they want.

Of course there will be a change. Like I said if the coach is as good as they say with the kind of players I see him sign then there will be a good result. According to the previous Premier League standings, the two opponents all ready to disappoint Chelsea will be Arsenal and Manchester city. Aston Villa and Tottenham might be having it hard to cope in the race because they were never that good enough, checking the points difference between Aston Villa/Tottenham compared to the top three standing, if Chelsea's performance would appreciate then they can surely close the gap and likely be among the top 4 in the PL standings, I really want to see them play the Champions League again.

I don't think Chelsea management is experienced enough. Chelsea management believes that a change of coach will solve all the problems within the squad. But this is not true. Chelsea coach cannot be blamed for Chelsea's poor performance. Chelsea management's bad decisions are responsible for this.

Any coach needs a long time to stabilize and strengthen a squad. But Chelsea management is not willing to give any coach this time. This is the reason why even though Chelsea have changed coaches many times in the last few years, the performance of this team so far has been poor. It would be foolish to expect anything better from Chelsea next season.

[Baki202]

Yes, Chelsea fans are starting to believe in him because of his past record while managing Leicester City, he won the Championship in the just concluded season and has a great performance among all the remaining coaches in the Championship.

Since Chelsea fans are having confidence in him because he succeeded in the Championship and was under Pep Guardiola before he signed for Leicester City, they believe if the management give him time, he will bring some positive changes to the team even if it is not in the next coming season.
Nevertheless, I hope the Chelsea management will have that patience to wait for some time.

I don’t even understand Chelsea fans any more, majority of them complained that they should not have sacked their formal coach and now they have a new coach let’s see how everything will go because when Potter became the coach they said the same thing about him been the savior of Chelsea but eventually they sacked him because of lack of performance. I hope they don’t get disappointed with the result they get. It takes just been a coach to make a club better the players must also be ready to show commitment and dedication to the club if not things will still not change and since everyone is saying that the coach as a good background.

The way Chelsea fans are having confidence in their new coach is just very funny because am just wondering how their face will look like went he disappoints them. Very soon we are going to be able to decide who is be among the top four. I don’t think he will be given the time he needs. Because if the season starts now there be a lot of pressure and that will be first season as the Chelsea coach. And Chelsea fans always think they are the best weren’t they are not next season we are going to know who is who.

[Strongkored]

"Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is hoping for a reunion with Leicester City star Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as the Blues have sent a formal offer to the Foxes for the midfielder"

This is something that often happens, when a coach moves clubs, he might bring some players from the old club because the player's liking for the game is a consideration, especially if the club is able to bring in the players requested by their new coach, so Enzo saw that there was the opportunity for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to become a starter at Chelsea and make Chelsea's game better.

Kiernan's presence will give Enzo more options in midfield and players who do not appear consistently will be replaced by Kiernan who performed quite well at Leicester last season

[G_Besar]

Chelsea's new coach Enzo Maresca is a coach who is quite popular now after he succeeded in bringing Leicester promotion to the Premier League, which proves that Enzo Maresca has good qualities.
I think there's no need to doubt it.

This is not about doubts or not for a coach like Enzo Maresca, but what differentiates him is the team he previously coached from the team he will coach next season where the condition of the Chelsea team itself is still not conducive due to frequent changes in coaches every season, making most players become confused with different directions in each season. I also appreciate the achievements that Enzo Maresca has achieved when he was able to bring Leicester to the Premier League with promotion status, but for Chelsea it looks like it will be very different.

[abhiseshakana]

In addition, I think Manchester United current performance and consistency is nothing but the poor system and training pattern implemented by ten hag so far, because if we look at Manchester United can be very great when playing against big teams like in FA matches, but they actually perform very poorly when they do play against teams that are commensurate or inferior to them in the league,Isn't that pretty weird?

It’s weird and proves that Ten Hag has not been doing a great job with the team, the level of inconsistency is just too high, training pattern is definitely poor or not good for the caliber of players they have. Some might think that winning the FA Cup will prove that Ten Hag  is worthy enough but i will disagree because a team that cannot win small and average teams is not showing any signs of improvement at all.

Man United did have a bad performance last season. Ten Hag is still the first person who has to bear that responsibility, but I don't think it's entirely Ten Hag's fault because after all, he was quite impressive in his first season with Man United, while this season he can present the FA trophy which Man United has not been able to get for quite a long time. I think whoever the coach will definitely face tough days if throughout the season Man United has always struggled with an injury crisis.

A manager should be held responsible when the team performance is not good even after all the opportunities are given to the manager. No matter how much experience a manager appoints to a weak team, he cannot do well against strong teams with those weak players. I would like to blame some of the management for Chelsea's poor performance as we have been seeing their manager change for a few seasons now. Every season we see them appointing new managers and a manager at the club can only do one lentil at most but they don't give any manager a chance to improve. No manager can give his best for the team in just 1 season, so in this case, Chelsea must appoint a competent manager for more than one season, hoping that this appointment will improve the performance of their team.

[Zaguru12]

This is something that often happens, when a coach moves clubs, he might bring some players from the old club because the player's liking for the game is a consideration, especially if the club is able to bring in the players requested by their new coach, so Enzo saw that there was the opportunity for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to become a starter at Chelsea and make Chelsea's game better.

Kiernan's presence will give Enzo more options in midfield and players who do not appear consistently will be replaced by Kiernan who performed quite well at Leicester last season

Yes every manager has who they most trust most especially in the sensitive departments like the midfield, I could remember the likes of Pep guardiol who doesn’t do this often moving Thiago Alcantara from the Barcelona team to his then Bayern Munich team after promoting him then, both of them settled and had success at Bayern Munich together. Jose Mourinho is another manager who loves to reunite with his ex players at a new club most especially the case of Matic who we all know moved to different clubs with him. We have Ancelloti again with Jame Rodriguez  and also the love affair between Alex Ferguson with Paul Scholes who had to even come out from retirement for him.

So there is nothing wrong for a manager to get his old player into a new club, but what is wrong is whether the player is much needed at the club. Dewsbury-Hall Is a more of central midfielder rather than an attacking midfielder which to me Chelsea needs badly. They currently have multiple players at this central position (box to box) with players like Gallagher, Enzo Fernandez and even Caicedo players that prefer that position, so adding Dewsbury-Hall to that number doesn’t seems right to me and more like a waste of money at the moment
