On his BBC podcast, Rooney discussed Chelsea's recent signings, including Gittens and Garnacho, stating that he didn't understand the reasoning behind these moves.

Rooney believes that Chelsea's large squad may need to be trimmed, with some players needing to be sold to make room for more experienced players who can help develop the team's young talent.

However, Rooney is optimistic about Chelsea's future, citing the appointment of Xabi Alonso as manager as a positive development.

He thinks Alonso's experience and reputation could bring a much-needed boost to the team, and with some savvy signings in the summer, Chelsea could be in contention for the title.
