We\u2019ve seen so many players come and go in recent years, and none have made a difference.<\/p>\n<p>And yet\u2026 there\u2019s not much else to get excited about, and it\u2019s nice to have a distraction. The idea of not having to watch Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens every week is pretty tempting too.<\/p>\n<h2>El Mala a Chelsea target with reasonable asking price<\/h2>\n<p>So you\u2019ll forgive us about getting interested in the whispers around Said El Mala. The winger has been reported as a Chelsea target for a while, and today\u2019s update from insider Christian Falk makes him all the more tempting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs there a club out there prepared to pay \u20ac50m?\u201d Falk asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hope is that\u2019s Chelsea. They are interested in the player, but if they\u2019ll pay so much for a German talent remains to be seen \u2013 we don\u2019t yet know! In the meantime, FC K\u00f6ln would be happy to keep the 19-year-old winger.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Thierry Henry has called for Chelsea to be patient with their managers \u2013 but which have actually deserved patience?<\/p>\n<p>Jamie Carragher has become the latest pundit to turn the blame on Chelsea\u2019s sporting directors as the Blues collapse continues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
