β’ Chelsea have added Liam Delap, DarΓo Essugo, Mamadou Sarr and Andrey Santos to a talented young squad. But the emphasis is on 'young' and it has been crying out for some quality and experience, particularly in key moments. We will judge at the end of the window.
β’ This first window was always going to be a bizarre one and no doubt some clubs have tried to charge a 'CWC tax'. However, the end line is Chelsea once again have looked amateurish on a number of levels through the publicity and voracity of media briefs and updates.Again, this was a short window and there is still plenty of time to rectify this and sign the quality. But it will be another massive failure for the directors to not achieve this by September, particularly as Enzo Maresca himself has commented on the lack of experience.

Romeo Lavia was asked which of the Chelsea Players would run in a marathon. "Cole Palmer, people don't know, but he can run for days, it's crazy", they know. But you'll see people on here say he's lazy and doesn't run, he's our best presser.

Chelsea & Enzo Maresca 2025/26: Realistic Expectations
Part-1
1. Tactics and Style
Maresca will stick mostly to 4-2-1-3, but will need to speed up play. Last season, slow buildup frustrated fans and sometimes cost points.
Expect more direct attacking, especially to get the best out of wingers and the striker.
Defensive shape should remain solid, but Chelsea still struggle with transitions and set pieces.
2. Squad Strength and Transfers
The biggest need is a proven, clinical striker to finish chances. Jackson hasnβt been consistent enough.
Injuries have been a problem. If key players like Reece James get injured again, Chelseaβs depth will be tested hard.
Some new signings are expected, especially in attack and possibly a goalkeeper to fit Marescaβs style better.

Chelsea & Enzo Maresca 2025/26: Realistic Expectations
Part-2
3. Competition Goals
Top 4 finish again is the minimum expectation; challenging for the title might be too early unless signings are excellent.
Champions League progress beyond the group stage will be a step forward.
Winning a domestic cup would be great but not guaranteed.
4. Challenges
Fans have little patience β another dip in form could cause unrest.
Maresca is still a young manager; tactical mistakes or stubbornness could cost points.
Chelseaβs squad depth isnβt the best compared to title challengers like Man City.

5. Overall
Maresca proved he can manage a big club, get results, and win trophies.
Next season will test if he can turn Chelsea into a consistent top team or if theyβll drift mid-table.
Progress is expected, but donβt expect miracles β building a title contender takes time, smart transfers, and some luck.
