“They look, for want of a better term, a basket case.”
Townsend, a former Chelsea midfielder, concurred with his colleague’s evaluation. He stated: “It really does; they’re accumulating a significant number of players, and perhaps they’re hoarding players because they sense good things are on the horizon.” Being a part of the environment must be incredibly odd.”
McCoist continued
It’s insane, there are just too many gamers to manage. As much as it may sound harsh, I can’t really feel too sorry for Enzo Maresca because he must have understood what he was getting into.”
stated that “He would have known exactly what he was heading into, maybe not quite to the current levels, but he would have known full well what he signed up to.”

According to rumours, Gallagher was in the last year of his contract and desired a long-term renewal with the team, but Chelsea only offered short-term agreements. The England international posted a farewell message to the Blues on Instagram after his transfer was confirmed. “To everyone at Chelsea, thank you for making my dreams come true,” he wrote in his letter. Being the team captain on numerous occasions was a dream come true, and it has been an amazing honour every time I put on the uniform. I cherished every second. These recollections will endure indefinitely. I’m grateful for all of the fans’ love and support. It is a unique experience to hear my name being chanted at the Bridge, and I was deeply touched by the banner you put up. I appreciate everything that you have done. I hope to see you all at Stamford Bridge soon and wish the club the best of luck in the future.”
Atletico paid Chelsea an estimated €40 million for Gallagher’s services. Additionally, they acquired Portuguese striker Joao Felix from the Spanish team.
