Fernandez was signed for a British record £107 million.

The door was not closed on Fernandez; it was a sanction to protect culture.

Fernandez said he would like to live in Spain and Madrid reminded him of Buenos Aires.

He winked at Kroos and Modric as players who impressed him.

The club responded by suspending him for two matches.

Rosenior referred to the worst 10 days of my career.

Cucurella criticized the decision to sack Rosenior's predecessor.

“Erling Haaland è uno degli attaccanti più dominanti della sua generazione, capace di unire una struttura fisica impressionante a velocità, potenza e un istinto realizzativo fuori dal comune”

Rosenior said no disciplinary action would be taken against Cucurella.

The Fernandez situation was about protecting culture because a line was crossed.

Fernandez's comments were the most damaging indication that he may be considering a move.

Public opinion on Chelsea's handling is divided.

Western outlets covered the dropping as a disciplinary move.
