'We don't need 30–35 players': Mauricio Pochettino names his ideal squad size as Chelsea clear out continues

 said: "You need 23, 24, max 25, goalkeeper included. We don't need 30–35 players. We need to be right in how we choose profile and balance is most important.

"Sometimes you get the balance with less than more. It's not that you cannot manage, the problem is players who are not going to play, where will they get the motivation? It's not going to be easy for them first.

Truth be told.. he wasn’t given game time….
Cause if you look at havertz, day in day out he plays and he was trash but still plays, Just like dantro fofana, he played well but subbed off and was not seen on the field again, but our almighty havertz was just been seen even when he was trashed…. So don’t blame Auba, he wasn’t given time

His record was good. But our formation setup provided no support to strikers. Even Ronaldo(S) would fail at Chelsea. Glad he left but surprised why didn’t he leave for Saudi League when there were strong interest. He would have gotten much more wages.

person wey them 🙄 no give game time? na wow ooo I'm sure he'd have scored more than kai

Prove how? When he wasn't given the chance.
