"There is clearly some noise around the Nicolas Jackson situation. But I repeat, it's not something I know that Chelsea are actively trying to bring about.

I think they've got huge respect for Nicolas Jackson, and what has he achieved so far, and the potential that he has for growth. I just know that he's the type of player and profile the number of clubs like. I've spoken to them. And whenever you mentioned Jackson, they say, he could become really, really good, and Chelsea will be aware of that themselves."

"People say they [Chelsea] are stockpiling in certain positions, but that might look very differently when when players are shifted.

There are clubs that I speak to who say, look, Chelsea were mocked in certain quarters for the long contract, their attempts to bring the wage bill down, and what appeared to be crazy recruitment, but then now looking at it and saying, actually, we need to take a bit of a leaf out there."

"On Chelsea's project, Naturally, mistakes will be made within that. There'll be experiments that don't work out. There'll be many players that do. Some of them won't work initially, but will longer term.

You've seen like Caicedo blossoming now, for example, and so there's a bit of trial and error in it, and when you're signing players who have market value, and I guess with this sort of American mentality and the need to trade in this PSR era, which more clubs are learning now, it is not something Chelsea are afraid to do."

"Although it may have appeared a bit chaotic in that earlier year or two, I think things have settled down somewhat, despite what you might see on social media and people making all sorts of jokes, but Chelsea appeared to have the last laugh in terms of qualifying for the Champions League and forming a side that is looking increasingly competitive."

"Chelsea's plan has always been, to sort of get a young group of players together so that they can grow together."

"Chelsea don't want this to be just a one-hit, one-season success. They want a sustained period of being able to challenge for trophies."

"I think there is a growing belief within the group, and we saw that again against Benfica in very trying circumstances the other night."

"I think that group, a few months ago would have lost that game. But I think there's that inner belief now that's growing again. This group of young players are growing together. And, and are getting better together."

"Just watched the session and clear the mood was very subdued as Chelsea's players reflect on losing a rival, friend and colleague. The football community is small and they invariably know each other. A really sad day for the Premier League and the wider football community."
