Joe Cole makes Chelsea the dark horse to win the Champions League:

🗣 "I’d put them in a bracket just at the top of the dark horses and bottom of the teams who you might expect to be in the latter stages of the competition."

"It all depends, I think, on the performance of the goalkeeper Sanchez.

That was the one area of the pitch, if you asked Chelsea fans where they needed to improve, that they would have gone for."

🗣 William Gallas: "What we all know is that Alejandro Garnacho will want to show on the pitch that he wants to succeed for Chelsea.

He will want to win his place in the starting XI. Everyone is happy when they sign for Chelsea, but clearly nobody is guaranteed a starting spot."

🗣 Dennis Wise: "I’m genuinely excited about the new Chelsea regime and these young signings. The minimum expectation this season has to be a Champions League spot - and hopefully more.

Chelsea should be aiming to win at least one domestic trophy and push hard in the Champions League. They’ll want to be real contenders for the league too."

Florent Malouda on Raheem Sterling:

🗣 "I don’t like the topic of his wages or the money involved. He earned his contract and everybody was fine with it. Now it’s more about how, as a club, you consider your players and how you bring them back to full confidence.

I’m sure Raheem Sterling, in full confidence, without injury problems, terminating his contract wouldn’t be an option."

William Gallas on Jackson:

🗣 "If you have a player who is really unhappy and unsettled, it can be really difficult to manage him. If you forced him back, it could have been disastrous for everyone."

🗣 William Gallas: "Delap gets injured, and they [Chelsea] want Jackson back, telling him to return to London.

Understandably, Jackson doesn’t want that, and you can see why he’s angry, because Chelsea didn’t really want him anymore. With his personality, he didn’t feel he could come back to Chelsea, it’s a huge mess."

🗣 William Gallas: "Nicolas Jackson found himself in the position where Chelsea wanted to sell him because he had not lived up to expectations since his arrival. He started as their main No. 9 and had the chance to start almost every game.

It was up to him to take that opportunity and score the goals that would have made it impossible for his manager to put him on the bench. After one season he had to adjust, and he was given another shot. He needed to not just score a lot, but score important goals too. Unfortunately for him and Chelsea, it didn’t happen."
