There's lots of players at lots of clubs that are unhappy and frustrated.
There's lots of players that give interviews and say things.
If you're going to suspend people every time they say something that may
be deemed that they're trying to leave a football club, then you'd be suspending people all the time.
I don't deny that there is something in wanting to go to Spain.
And I don't deny either that the fella might want to take his family and live in Madrid.
But I think he's fully entitled to say so.
Luis, you get the last word on it.
Do you know what they've done?
Listen, to go back to the point about being the victim, I don't know about you guys' opinion,
Enzo Fernandes, I admire him as a player, but he annoys me as an individual when he's on the field.
So I'm not really holding a candle for him, to be honest with you.
But if you want to really annoy your top players, if you want to lose them, if you want to lose them, you try and muzzle them.
If you want to lose them, you suspend them for big games.
That's not how you get players back on board.
That's how you get players to go to their agent and go, whatever happens, get me out of here.
And who could blame some of these Chelsea players?
Because of the way the clubs run, like Stevie said, because of the way the manager talks, because of some of the results.
