Chelsea are like an extraordinary experiment; how much can they spend and still get worse? Heads should be rolling for this.
Chelsea have spent £1bn to get worse; it’s extraordinary
I was genuinely baffled by the amount of fans, journalists, and pundits that had Chelsea finishing top four this season. Right now there are at least eight teams better than us in the league (for my tuppence, City, Arsenal, Brighton, Newcastle, Brentford, Villa, Liverpool and Utd).
At the begging of the season I had Chelsea finishing 9th, which would be an improvement over last year. The only problem is the club have spent £330 million this summer. £330 million. On top of the £600 million last year. And yet Chelsea are far worse than they were just two seasons ago.
How do you spend that much money and get worse?!! It’s unbelievable. Fans were hailing Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart after signing Caicedo and Lavia. After the money they’ve spent the state of the squad they should be sacked!
Look at the current Chelsea squad and tell me what quality that money has bought. A midfield consisting of inexperienced kids and now 3 DMs all bought in the same window. How much do you think Ugochukwu will play now with Lavia and Caicedo in front of him? 3rd choice who’ll probably go on loan and be forgotten about. He cost £23 million. Did you know Chelsea even signed him?
Sanchez, brought in for £25M when Raya was apparently available for £30M (granted I wouldn’t want to sign for this shower over Arsenal right now).
This all smacks of incompetence from top to bottom throughout the club. No transfer policy except – ‘are they young and can we over pay for them?’.
Sold off all the experienced midfielders, sold off Hall to Newcastle who would have been a solid back up for Chilwell who we know will get injured at some point. It’s OK though, Cucurella is there, he only cost £55M. Let’s not get started on Mudryk.
To spend £1,000,000,000 on football players and making the team progressively worse, while bringing in a world class manager is nothing short of staggering. This will be an example taught in business schools for decades to come.
I said last year that I didn’t recognise this club anymore, and things have only worsened. Right now the only difference between Chelsea and Everton is that Chelsea have wasted more money.
I can only come to the conclusion that the ownership are actively trying to harm the club from the inside out. It’s that or criminal incompetence.
