I was a great fan of Noni and wondered why we sold him, I got pelters on here for saying he would come good but we sold him anyway. Is Gittens any better? TBF to the sporting directors who sold him almost everyone on here also thought he should be sold. Just shows how important patience is, I also remember someone calling Moises a donkey and others calling out Cucu and others.
My point being patience is needed with everyone, players, coaches, sporting directors, owners etal. The poll ED033 has created shows a 50:50 split on Maresca, some are patient and some want a brand new shiny toy, what way will this turn out?

Your correct of course, Noni is wingers who can beat people with ease and really teamed up well with CP, who i think misses him big time. I read somewhere that is attitude is not great but certainly on the field of play, there were no complaints.
With Regards to Matesca, I'm not surprised that he has so far splt the vote, he is like marmite, some like his style of play and rotation, others like myself think he is letting this young team down.

Totally agree with patience needed but also a few weeks of great form at Arsenal doesn't mean it wasn't a bad sale as always time will tell. I admit I was a sell Noni person didn't mind the Gittens buy but the Garnacho buy was not something that excited me.
I think it is harder to have patience when the expectations at Chelsea are so much higher than the squad might be able to deliver, that being said we are definately a coming team . I was hoping or expecting 2nd or 3rd this season but feel injuries have derailed us a bit this season. Palmer Colwill and that stupid card for Moises .
A big couple of months coming up.

If Maresca continues to rotate his centre backs it will be the end of him. 2 positions you never rotate are your goalkeeper and your centre backs. The rest of the side can be rotated but those 2 positions must remain the same. If Fofana can't play every 3 days then bin him off and play young Josh next to Trevor.

Garnacho has been for the most promising he try’s to make something happen Gittens for me is awful but like you say time is required.

Noni is an attitude problem. In the night clubs late in a Friday quite often. We was going to sell him. Then he scored a ha trick. Then we kept him. Then he did hardly anything. Maresca wasn’t a new toy, he was booed by Leicester fans though getting them promoted.
As for gittens, I’ve said ever since sancho Werner and havertz come to the premier league. They look good in Germany!

I have no idea about the Neto personal life. Also for me, EM doesn’t seem to tolerate players who aren’t professional.
Time will tell about Gittens ability to play in the premiership.

I expect that Noni sale was to do with bottom line for FFP first and foremost. For me it did not make sense to sell an already effective winger who was scoring goals for us to a rival and buy untested Gittens. a ganble. Was fairly neutral about Garnacho but reckon he has done ok.
Noni had good understanding with Cole and Jackson. But our transactional churning over of players with too little attention to striker and CB strengthening has been worrying to frustrating. Vision 2030 not Vision 2025 or 2026.if we're optimistic?
