Matt Law was on the London is Blue podcast this week trying to be positive about Chelsea’s future:

“The squad isn’t as far away as it feels. My biggest thing is the character,” Law said.

“The talent and the players are there – not all the players [are good enough], and the squad does need improving. But they’ve got a lot of talent and good players in that squad. But they’ve got to sort out the character.”

Chelsea face huge question over how to get squad serious

He’s right in that the character shown by the majority of the players brought in has been incredibly weak. They make mistakes, they fold easily under pressure, they struggle to come back when things go against them, they down tools when they don’t like a coach.

The question is – what do you do about that? There isn’t another £2bn to spend on another refresh of the group. We need the right manager to make these mice into men.

In other news…

Barcelona are obviously very keen on signing Joao Pedro, but we can’t see Chelsea making a deal happen at this stage.

Enzo Fernandez’s holiday to Madrid caused a bit of a stir, but nobody was actually annoyed by that, and his manager defended him.
