Champions league would definitely be enough.

I don't really give a feck about the conference league.

Yeah Conference League is so easy that I could even see current United winning it. Maybe Fiorentina or Betis could give you a game in the final and it's one game so you never know. Unfortunately for Fiorentina good chances they could be losing 3rd final in a row in this competition.

What's the opinion on Maresca now?

It feels like he's now doing what everyone expected at the start of the season. Was that good start a false dawn and mainly down to Palmer being in excellent form (who also seems to have nosedived)?

He’s in a sticky situation but I’m not getting on his back just yet. I think finishing outside the top 5 would be unacceptable. If he manages 5th and squeezes into the CL, then I guess he’s met the objectives indirectly. A lot of fans are getting on his back though, but we’re not really a fanbase known for exercising patience and persevering through a sticky period.

James
Guehi
Tomori

Livarmento
Gallagher
Loftus Cheek
Hall
Maatsen

Abraham
Solanke

I must be missing some because that team definitely isn't getting top 4.

Depends how technical you want to be as you could include players like Rice, Ake, Mount, Olise etc. Olise and Rice were at other academies too but the bulk of their academy football was at Chelsea.

Musiala, Rice, Ake, Aina, Cho, Christensen and I'm claiming Mbappe because he played for our academy twice.

In their current version or at the best, because I would argue James, Mount and Loftus-Cheek could be the nucleus of a top 4 team, even without all the players you forgot to include ;)
 
They badly need an experienced CB.

I get their policy but for some positions you have to sign players over the age of 25 I'm afraid.

Seems they want Guehi back and he's 25 in July and been really good last two years so you'd think he'd rather stay in London than go up to Newcastle and they can offer Chalobah to Palace full time so can see that happening.

I've added the ones I forgot to the above team and that is definitely good enough to challenge for top 4.

Is there any keepers I don't know about?

It would be good to win a trophy. You haven’t won a trophy since 2021 so you should go for it.
