      – Enzo Fernández has previously made a point of squaring up to former Chelsea players when facing them after they have left. But the irony has not been lost on some given those players never publicly put their futures in doubt with interviews.

      – It is understood that Enzo Fernández has been vocal in the dressing room after the defeats to PSG, Newcastle and Everton over the last month.

      – He has also berated his own team-mates on the pitch during Chelsea’s four successive defeats, which has annoyed some team-mates at a time when the club needs to pull together for a final push at finishing in the Premier League top five.

      – PSG defeat, the £106m signing from Benfica took aim at his own team-mate Filip Jorgensen, who had made a mistake that cost a goal at the Parc des Princes.

      – Since publicly commenting on his future, Fernández has worn the captain’s armband in the last two defeats following the hamstring injury to Reece James

      I do think the multiple statements is overkill whether he’s doing it because he genuinely wants to leave or this is a contract negotiation tactics.

      It’s starting to become more of a bad look especially when we are currently coming off a bad run of games.

      Plus he’s starting to lose the fans who were previously on his side.

      If it’s one thing rival fans hate is a player tweaking for Real Madrid and he’s starting to overplay his hand

      Does this say more of the “Chelsea Players” or Enzo? I’m sure he just wants to win and is trying his best to step up and motivate someone. He’s out there showing he’s on a timeline for success at this Club sure..but how do we know that the “Chelsea Players” are not also actually the issue in this situation? We are not in the dressing room. Their poor motivation and complacency could be causing Fernandez issues. We do not know every player’s level of commitment to this project right now.

      The situation on and off the pitch is really bad right now regardless of who you want to point fingers at.

      Yep now clearlake will send out briefings against enzo… In sometime, you’ll start seeing em on Cucurela as well.

      This is April fool, why would owners not be happy when they can make a profit from his sale

    13. frankievejle on

      Clearlake absolutely love a PR war vs their own players lol. Absolute clownshow of a club.

      Enzo shaking his arse at Real Madrid is annoying me but giving players a bollocking when they 100% deserve it is why I like Enzo.

      We’ve been missing that cutting edge since Terry left and I’m here for it.

      Man mou was right alot of these players are soft. I would went off on them after that 1st leg in PSG.

    20. primoshevek on

      To all of you saying it’s a PR brief before we invariably sell: why would the club deliberately amplify a narrative that weakens its position in any potential future negotiation?

      Chelsea/Blueco Marketing and Communications Department quickly jumps into action! More blueco planted stories coming soon!

    25. criminal-tango44 on

      Cucurella is next

      i’m just wondering what it’ll be. he abuses academy players? swears in training? his hair is too long?

    26. phxwarlock on

      All of our supposed “leaders” have been disappointing. Hardly anyone has stepped up, bar James and even then he’s a pretty timid, quiet captain. I’m not just talking pure gameplay either.

      There is absolutely nothing in this article. Don’t waste your time reading it.

      Here we go. Time for owners to target a new enemy after maresca cuz Liam is a good boy and they need the fans focus off of them

      the only time we hear from the idiots in charge is when they slander their own employees.

    32. msizzle344 on

      The Chelsea players in question: Delap, Lavia, Jorgensen and Mudryk.

      What a fucking joke the club briefs this with him being there, the arrogance of this ownership will be its downfall. Good luck getting any player who isn’t 18 when you throw your players under the bus constantly. Everyone else is clearly wrong and Clearlake is right obviously

    33. Markolsson on

      And people are already debating this over the financial balance of the club. Blue co strikes again.

    35. Agitated_Ad7516 on

      I wouldn’t immediately jump to PR unless Cucu also gets one of these about him

    38. CockConfidentCole on

      Same people saying “PR Lake” are the same ones who thought Enzo didn’t do anything wrong when he outed himself as a racist

    39. rocafella888 on

      When he threw the ball at Jorgensen in that one match, I knew he is not captain material.

    46. Og_busty on

      Ehh, he’s had enough of the “project”. Its as dead as the queen at this point. They can shit on him all they want but they know he’s right.
