They\u2019re mentally weak, and they are too comfortable knowing that \u201cplayer power\u201d can see off any manager who they don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n Kieran Gill\u2019s piece for the Daily Mail points out that, after Liam Rosenior\u2019s sacking last month, not a single player posted a message of thanks or well-wished him on social media afterwards. That tells you a lot, given how often some of them are posting.<\/p>\n Considering how flagrantly they had given up playing for him on the pitch, it\u2019s another reminder of the toxic culture that\u2019s taken hold at the club. We\u2019re all hoping Alonso has the authority and the interpersonal skills to sort that out.<\/p>\n Alonso\u2019s other main concern is which players to sell \u2013 there\u2019s a growing list of them he likely want to get rid of this summer.<\/p>\n Geovany Quenda is finally set to complete his transfer to Chelsea, a year in the making. He thinks he has a unique chance to impress Xabi Alonso in preseason.<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
