I don't agree with everything people say, but they're entitled to come out and say stuff.

As long as it's not derogatory to the club, the manager or any personnel within the club, which this is not.

Players come and go, and agents work behind the scenes to get players' moves.

This goes on every week, every month of the year.

And whether Enzo Fernandes has been clever about it or not, suspending a player, you're only driving him away.

And by the way, you're sending a warning to other players, basically, that you need to shut up, otherwise we'll sanction you.

Now, of course, Enzo Fernandes hasn't been the only one that's been speaking out during International Week.

We discussed this yesterday.

Just to remind you what Cucurella has said on Chelsea's transfer policy, signing young players only might complicate fighting for major trophies.

Against PSG, we lacked players that had gone through situations like that.

I understand this is a part of the club's policy and that they want to take the direction signing young players and looking to the future.

But for all of us who are still here and want to win big things, moments like this make you feel discouraged.

Then he went on in the Athletic to say, when a manager gives you that confidence and offers you a platform to fight for titles, you die for them.

The moment Maresca left, it's a big impact on us.

These are decisions taken by the club.

If you ask me, I would not have made this decision.

To make a change like that, the best thing is to wait until the end of the season.

The instability around the club comes from this in a nutshell.

So inevitably, we're waiting to see what sort of punishment Cucurella would be given.

Rousinia gave him none.
