Waiting for Mikel to be arrested shortly and cancelled indefinitely. 

I respect that.

He (Mikel!!!) even played as a striker when he got called up, because he was the best player in that position, in the team at the time.

He's basically saying he apologized and that everything is ok and that he will be back to Chelse shortly.

This source is close with Enzo’s agent. 

I would guess that Enzo F. will be on his best behavior when he returns since he is very outnumbered by our Afro-French delegation.

Similar to an American who supports an English football team but doesn't know how to spell behaviour 😉.

He's apologised, hasn't he? 

Not sure what else players are wanting from him if they're going to carry on holding a grudge while we're trying to build a team. Hopefully it's just twitter rumours. 

 

The lad is clearly a bit of a moron between broadcasting his racist/inappropriate singing and his refusal to face the consequences of ignoring red traffic lights, but maybe, just maybe the prick might just grow up a bit and who knows, he might even go on to turn into a half decent midfielder that can play well more than twice in a season.

Looks like Fofana has forgiven him

 

God i wish our players would just keep off socials, its so bloody childish

I don't really get it, isn't that just a random Chelsea account? I mean, it has CHO as the profile pic so it's not Wes account.

Talksport in meltdown that he hasn't been shot ,such cun*s

Chelsea taking no action against Enzo for his participation in and broadcasting of a racist  Argy song. Quite unbelievable really

Everybody should, social media is a can of worms, everything is magnified, vilified and distorted.

I thought some punishment should come. However I am relieved his teammates decided Enzo's done enough to be back in the good. These days you cannot really predict what happens with these delicate matters.

To have Enzo punished in a hard way means to punish that entire bus because they were all singing the song and also have all the Argentina fans banned from attending matches outside their home ground. They have been singing this song at every home and away match for over 5 years now. Why is it now painted as an Enzo Fernandez problem alone?

Good on them. Clubs done the right thing for once.

Players have sorted it out between themselves, don't need the club to be white knighting because some people that aren't involved in the media and online got upset. French contingent at the club have accepted his apology, Enzo's admitted remorse and certainly won't be doing it again, time to move on. Banning him helps no one. 

The FA are still conducting their investigation as well as on the other Argentine players involved. 

Great to read this.

Tbh, FA shouldn't do a thing and only the BBC is saying that. They can't stand how it hasn't blown up more in chelseas face. They can't stand how something so big and they cant hurt chels any more.

And if the BBC keeps pushing with FA finally getting pressurised then chels is the only club that actually has done something compared to the other players in that video. That point the club, POC, fans and us (fan sites, etc...) should bring the other players into the "picture" which the beeb don't want. I guarantee you there's editors at the beeb steaming on why so little done (chief editor would have limited it due to political implications since argentina doubled down) and just thinking of how to make this a Chelsea issue only. I can see them at their stupid shared desks in the middle of the main sports room. Ugh, I hated that place.

This is a fifa thing against Argentina, I understand that's still going but they won't push it if they can and will hope it dies down. It can turn into a diplomatic incident/nightmare.

Bet Enzo is breathing a sigh of relief that he never got his wish granted of playing for Argentina in the Olympics. He would've got some reception in tonight's game.
