Terry pointed out that Alonso was very direct when telling players they weren't in his plans, and he greatly appreciated this direct approach, which may sound harsh, but modern players particularly value this honesty.

Adarabioyo joined Chelsea from Fulham on a free transfer two years ago and has made 70 appearances for the Blues across all competitions since then. However, the 28-year-old defender was sidelined during Alonso's pre-season preparations and failed to make the squad for Chelsea's first three matches under the Spanish manager.

With the arrival of Lacroix and the emergence of Achampong, Adarabioyo's position in the team deteriorated further, and in the final days of the transfer window, the club allowed other teams to make offers for him.

Ultimately, Adarabioyo completed a short move within London on deadline day, joining rivals Tottenham Hotspur permanently for around £7 million.

Mudryk also moved to North London, joining Tottenham on a season-long loan. Former Chelsea captain Terry said the defender was deeply disappointed by the abrupt end to his Chelsea career.

"I spoke to Adarabioyo recently and asked him: 'What did the manager say to you?', and he replied: 'I'm not in his plans'," Terry said in a YouTube interview.

"He told me: 'I completely respect the decision. I really wanted to prove him wrong, but the club told me I needed to find a new team. I felt terrible because I've only been here for two years.'

"So Adarabioyo is obviously very disappointed. But the manager was very direct and honest with the players, leaving no room for ambiguity.

"Alonso made it clear that he currently has high hopes for Josh Achampong. The young player has featured in several matches and is seen as the future of the team.

"The manager prefers to rely on Achampong rather than Adarabioyo. So it's the right choice to let such players leave. What outsiders don't see is that in the first team dressing room there are only twenty-four or twenty-six players, and down the corridor there's another dressing room with eight to ten players who don't want to stay and are eager to play elsewhere. They train with different coaches, completely separated from the U21s and isolated from the first team."

Terry continued: "Even meal times are staggered. The treatment in all aspects is completely different, and this situation is very harsh. I've seen it firsthand, and as a player I tried to change these dynamics. I despise such situations within a club.

"In the past, I tried to integrate different groups. But after my retirement, it became completely clear to me: my main focus is on these twenty-four to twenty-six first team players, and all my energy must be devoted to them.

"I can no longer consider players like Adarabioyo and Mudryk, who aren't in my rebuilding plans and are on the periphery of the team.

"That's why I really appreciate this direct approach. It may sound harsh, but I think modern players particularly value this honesty.

"Adarabioyo has got a new contract and will get regular playing time; Mudryk has also got an opportunity with a season-long loan where he can play consistently, and we'll see what happens after the season."

Furthermore, Terry said he generally approved of Chelsea's transfer activity over the summer but was concerned that the team still lacked a key midfielder.

"I think that's the only position where we have a personnel gap," Terry added.

"With all the other positions I'm quite satisfied. But in midfield, I feel we missed the right player in the transfer market. We discussed Adam Wharton before, and I personally admire him greatly.

"Jordan Henderson can still play an important role in the team. He probably won't start every week, but he can drive the team's performance standards, the way Enzo did before. He's not just a facilitator.

"He's still a top player and can contribute a lot to the team. But I feel we're still missing a midfielder. Overall, however, I'm very satisfied with the club's activity this summer."
