[Fabrizio Romano] Noni Madueke is now considered very important player for not only this season but future seasons. The feeling between Madueke and Maresca is very good.

  1. If Maresca survives the season, I’d imagine Noni will be holding down that right wing starting spot for quit a long time

    “There was a story in the summer of Noni Madueke, because yes there was a moment in the summer transfer window when Chelsea were considering the possibility of selling Noni Madueke. Never considered a loan, but in case they received a very important proposal – that was a possibility in the end of June, in the confused moment of the financial fair play”

    “So Madueke was one of the main targets for Newcastle, after all of that Chelsea internally saw how special Noni Madueke was in training and in the official games. The feeling between Maresca and Noni is excellent, there is an internal feeling at Chelsea that Enzo Maresca was able to get together with his staff to change the mindset of Noni Madueke, so working on that in training but in the official games you can already see how Noni is performing so Chelsea is super happy with him, this is why in some point in August they decided to call him untouchable as an important player for this project, and now he’s considered the real important player for Chelsea, not just for the season ongoing but also for the long-term.”

    “So, very happy with Noni, the possibiltiy of going to Newcastle was there in June for Newcastle. For Newcastle he was considered the perfect player. **He was on the list of two clubs: Newcastle, and also Leipzig – they were looking for a winger.”**

    Paraphrasing this part: Leipzig had a shortlist of RWs that included Noni as well as Rayan Cherki, but they instead chose Antonio Nusa (ironically we were linked to him last summer)

  3. The club will sell him if the numbers make sense or if he’s a tool to avoid FFP issues. It’s naive, given how they’ve managed the squad so far, that he’s immune to that.

  4. In context, this is such a hilarious thing to say.

    Madueke scored 3 goals in a game after scoring only 6 in his other 35 games and Maresca has given us exactly no reason to be talking about next season, let alone pluralising future seasons.

    The idea that that’s enough to be talking about them being long term important parts of the club is hilarious and simultaneously sad.

    At least it’ll be a funny comment to come back to in 6 months when one is sat on the bench and the other has everyone calling for his head

  5. Situations like this are emblematic of how little long term joined up thinking there is at the club and the transfer policy. It’s just all so reactive as to what the window does.

    I’ve always liked him, so I’m glad, but how he goes from basically up for sale to important in 4 games is so inconsistent. Couple that with an additional 2.5 winger coming in this window (.5 being felix) and then a further 1.5 coming in next (.5 potentially paez). Just feels like a self inflicted log jam where it’s impossible to play and improve (or sell for profit) all of them.

    I just don’t see how you can possibly build a squad being this erratic and reactionary

  6. Madueke should work on consistency. He has the potential to challenge for the top spot. I believe and trust in him
