Enzo is the least of our problems.

Enzo isn't in the top 10 reasons we won't dine at the top table

1 - The board and their odd habit of buying potential only with no experience players ever bought.

2 - Sporting Directors or whoever recognises any "potential talent" at this club

There's 2 for starters

But if you can find another 8 more problems bigger than Enzo then I salute you.

Enzo is a huge problem IMO,

• he lacks positional disipline

• he can't run

• he is physically weak

• he lacks disipline (as in him being captain and us getting 3 needless yellow cards for one incident)

• messes up easy passes on a regular

It is like playing with a player less at times - he's a huge problem.

The biggest problem with Enzo is that we are probably stuck with him!

We have no shortage of players we need to move on if we are ever to take ourselves seriously as a team with a chance of winning anything under than a stupid f**king golden chicken nugget on our shirt and Enzo is clearly one of them.

3. Tosin

4. Chalobah

5. Badiashile

6. Neto

7. Horrid managerial appointments

8. We can't finish a game with 11 men

9. The board can't get a front of shirt sponsor after years of trying

10. The board can't sort out our new stadium, forever keeping our revenue lower than the teams at the top table

I think we could both go on about what's wrong at the club, but I won't put Enzo as a one of the reasons we aren't performing.

You're right, we could debate this forever, but my original point was about him being an untouchable.

Tosin and Badiashile are not untouchables, I was more talking about footballing matters on the pitch.

He is picked week in week out.

Like I wrote in the other thread, I think that's a limitation of the roster really: we have a number of players who will play no matter what (form, fitness, etc). Enzo just happens to be one of them.
Finally seeing Santos play more and I think he's a good tackler and a good Caicedo option when we are missing him. I haven't seem him do much in attack at all, so rather not speculate there.

Lavia is perma-wrecked, Essugo (another 20yo fresh) is injured as well, and that's about it for midfield (aside from James and Gusto cameos).

11. Fofana

12. Lavia

These two should have been an important part of this team, especially Lavia. It simply is not possible for professional players that young to get injured that often and be treated like babies everytime they get back. I mean there are players like Kane or Lewandowki who I swear to God that I feel like I see them playing every three days, for both club and country and never get injured and are way into their 30s.

Lavia was supposed to be Caicedo's partner in midfield but he is never available, Fofana was supposed to be one of the main center backs, yet he is never available. A lot of things must be addressed this summer. Can't start yet another season thinking who's minutes we should manage and how much we should rotate just so they do not get injured playing more than two weeks in a row like we are the f**king NHS and not a football club...

Neto has done way more for this team than Enzo. For a cm he is absolutely useless. We're basically a man down because he doesn't do one single thing to a high level.

Think Enzo gets a rough of it tbh. 25 goals, and 25 assists in about 150 games is really good from midfield. He is very good footballer, maybe not the most athletic, but personally dont want to watch 11 super atheletes run about for 90 mins.

If Palmer or Estavao, did that Maradona turn against City and put in on a plate for Neto, people would be waxing lyrical about it, Enzo does it, and its almost radio silence.

He is miles clear of Gravenberch and Macallister, who were good enough to win the league last year. If he came for £40m I think people would actually rate him more.

Much bigger issues, we have expensive forwards that have put up worse numbers, and we have centre backs and a goalkeeper that wouldnt look out of place in the Wolves team that a rock bottom.

Disagree, Enzo does have a knack for goals and box crashing. Neto can’t score and he can’t create. He reminds me when we signed Cuadrado under Mourinho.

Worst part is, Enzo and Neto seem to get more minutes than most and yet NEITHER should be in the starting 11 when everyone is fit.

Thought he played well on the ball going back to his more deeper/sitting role.

Few issues with him being left to cover a lot of spaces on the counter when Cucu went forward but overall wasn't too bad.

Linked to PSG, god is good

Mail Online

PSG 'target £107m Chelsea star unsettled by Enzo Maresca'...

Enzo Maresca was sacked by the west London club on New Year's Day after an explosive fallout with Chelsea's hierarchy, leading to the appointment of new head coach Liam Rosenior last week.

I will celebrate the day when he leaves, but honestly can't ever see him going to play in France after the coach song episode ...

They also have a younger and better player in Joao Neves. He isn’t displacing Vitinha or Ruiz either. This is his agent being mischievous and fishing for an improved contract.

Jokes on us when we inevitably replace him with Kobbie Mainoo.

I imagine he wants parity with Reece James.

I don't even want to think about the possible actions BlueCo might take in this scenario LOL

I posted somewhere, maybe in this thread, that Enzo is with a new agency owned by Javier Pastore. I knew then and there he was going to leverage Pastore's great relationship with the PSG board. Reports are coming out of Lequipe and they are reliable inside Paris.

Please make it so.... Please.. Please, PSG, do us a favour.

Yeah... I'd be happy to see him go - I don't think he really get's on with a lot of the other players - seems a bit aloof - probably the coach thing

I mean the sing song on the coach - although it's quite conceivable the two (sing song and Liam) might now be linked and causing him to feel a little awkward 😁

This may be just posturing from agent to get him a better deal, but he would probably benefit from a move to one of the European leagues. He is not suited to the physicality of the Premier League, but I think he would do well in French/Spanish/Italian leagues.

Didn't PSG declare they no longer do Galactica signings?

I reckon they sell Reece. 2 years left on his current deal in the summer.

I’ll pay for his ticket myself if we replace him with Anderson.
