>> I WANT TO PUT YOU IN THE SHOES OF ENZO MARESCA. YOU GOT THIS AMOUNT OF PLAYERS, THIS AMOUNT OF PLAYERS TO PICK. HOW DIFFICULT A JOB IS IT FOR A YOUNG MAN, HIS FIRST RODEO IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE, TO PICK A TEAM AND DEAL WITH THIS SQUAD THAT IS LOADED? >> WERE GUESSING THERE'S 140 PLAYERS IN THIS SQUAD. THIS IS SOMETHING WE RARELY SEE, AND IT'S A DIFFERENT MODEL HERE. IT LOOKS TO ME ON THE OUTSIDE IS A PLAYER INVESTMENT BUSINESS, A CLUB THAT IS TRAINED TO WIN THINGS, BECAUSE THERE SO MANY PLAYERS HERE. IT HAS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. SO MANY PLAYERS, SO MANY DIFFERENT POSITIONS. >> WE HAVE BOTH BEEN IN DRESSING ROOMS. HOW DIFFICULT IS THE JOB FOR HIM TO DEAL WITH THIS, TO HANDLE PLAYERS, TO KEEP THEM ON- SITE? YOU HAVE STERLING AND KILL WELL, EXPERIENCE INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS, WHO LOOK LIKE THEY ARE ON THE OUTSIDE. >> THE MANAGER HAS TAKEN IS 21, 22 PLAYERS HE WANTS TO WORK WITH, AND IN THE AFTERNOONS, THE OTHER PLAYERS ARE COMING AROUND IN THEIR OWN SESSION. SOME OF THESE WILL LEAVE AND GO ON ALONE, AND SOME WILL BE SOLVED. BUT THE SHEER AMOUNT AND THE AGE AND THE PROFILE, THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY TRYING WITH THE FUTURE IN MOUNT TO MAKE SOME SALES. >> IT SEEMS THAT HE'S HAD SOME LOOKS AT SOME PLAYERS AND PEOPLE LIKE STERLING AND COELHO THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE PART OF WHAT I'M DOING. YOU DON'T FIT THE PROFILE. I DON'T MIND THAT, BEING HONEST AND BEING UP FRONT WITH PLAYERS. IS THAT THE WAY HE'S GOT TO GO? OR DOES HE HAVE TO KEEP PEOPLE ON SITE A LITTLE BIT ? >> IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, ISN'T IT? WE'VE BEEN IN DRESSING ROOMS, AND THEY ARE A LITTLE DISGRUNTLED. HE KNOWS ABOUT THAT. THAT'S THE WAY HE'S MAKING THEM TRAINS SEPARATELY. HE'S MAKING BIG CALLS ON THIS SQUAD. THE COACHES DECISIONS IN TERMS OF WHICH ONCE HE WANTS TO KEEP, TO WORK WITH, AND WAS THAT HE IS OKAY TO LEAVE. >> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE TEAM AND HOW THEY MIGHT LOOK ON THE PITCH AND THE OPTIONS THAT HE HAS. I SAID EARLIER IN OUR CHAT, I THINK TWO POSITIONS THAT ARE NOT SOLVED -- GOALKEEPER, SET FOR THE TWO POSITIONS. >> WHAT DO THEY LIKE ABOUT BOTH PARTS OF THE TEAM HERE THEN? >> FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW, SANCHEZ, WE SAW AGAINST MANCHESTER CITY. I'M NOT SURE HE'S A TOP SIX GOALKEEPER. BUT OF THOSE THERE, ROB, PROBABLY SANCHEZ IS GOING TO BE THE NUMBER ONE. >> ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THIS SMACKS TO THE WHOLE PROJECT HERE. THERE'S SO MANY PLAYERS, THEY PAID GOOD MONEY FOR YOUNG PLAYERS. IF YOU ARE CHELSEA, I DON'T WANT FIFTH AND SIX GOALKEEPER'S AND 10 WINGERS. LET'S SPEND LESS ON THE AMOUNT AND GET BETTER QUALITY. >> LET'S GET TO THE BACK FOUR. YOU QUITE LIKE THE BACK FOUR. >> I WOULDN'T MESS AROUND WITH IT. I THINK CUCURELLA, VEGA -- THERE'S ONE LOW ONE. CUCURELLA IS GOING TO START AS A LEFT BACK. IN TERMS OF THE LEFT BACK, COLWILL WILL PLAY. REALLY GOOD. REALLY LIKE HIM. >> WERE HEARING HE'S NOT AVAILABLE TODAY, SO IT IS ENZO. >> I THINK CHELSEA FANS -- COME ON, MAN. INCREDIBLE FEES FOR THESE PLAYERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK. AND THIS ISN'T SET IN STONE, OBVIOUSLY. DIFFERENT PLAYERS IN DIFFERENT GROUPS CAN PLAY IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS. WHAT I KNOW IS THERE'S A TON OF OPTIONS. >> MUDRYK GETS A CHANCE TODAY. IF YOU GET A CHANCE, YOU GOT TO MAKE IT YOURS. >> IF HE STAYS FIT -- >> PALMER IS THE DIAMOND, THE ONE YOU BUILD A TEAM AROUND. THE CENTER FORWARD, THAT'S A BIG CALL FOR CHELSEA. HAVEN'T QUITE FOUND A MAN THAT IS GOING TO BE PUTTING IN GOALS. >> THESE PLAYERS ARE ALL A LITTLE DIFFERENT. HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING TO LEAVE THE FOOTBALL CLUB. NICHOLAS JACKSON. FINISHING ISN'T PERFECT, SO AGAIN, THE GOALKEEPER SO MANY OFTEN, SO THEY'VE GOTTEN FEWER OR BETTER ONES? >> IVAN TONY. >> ANOTHER ONE. >> MARESCA HAS MA
