"It's a difficult one. It's not so much the punishment's right, it's the fact that it's the second time this has happened now [with Enzo Fernandez]. The club has got to take a stand. I must admit, I don't know if this is the right model. I haven't thought of a better way [of dealing with Fernandez], so it's a mess, it really is."
"You should be old enough to know that if those types of questions are coming, and even if you're thinking about a move, the right answer is to say 'I've signed a long-term contract at Chelsea and I'm happy here.' Anything more than that is going to cause stirs. It's unnecessary and not needed, but it's happened."
