Okay so that’s 43 players but around 15-17 of them are just academy players that aren’t really part of the first team or have less than 3 appearances. So around 25-28 first team players.

If I was a Chelsea fan mate my biggest concern would be who is picking players to sign, what’s the actual plan behind it all and who is picking the team and tactics each week.

Honestly, I worry for you right now because I think the new owner is pulling all the shots and he knows sweet fuck all about the game.

Boehly has put a structure in place. There are recruitment people, technical directors etc. For example, the Mudryk deal, even the failed Enzo deal, it was Vivell and the fella we brought in from Brighton, Winstanely, who led those negotiations.

I think it was Vivell, the technical director, who decided to stop pursuing Gvardiol and go after Badiashile for example. Boehly definitely stumbled through the first window not really knowing what he was doing, relying heavily on Tuchel but he's reported to have taken a step back from sporting director duties last month.
 
I can’t imagine player morale is at its highest, right now. Imagine your superiors actively tracking every available and unavailable name that is linked with another club, and they play in your position.

No word of a lie, that is literally how it feels. We’re averaging about 2 signings a week this months. It’s mad. And I still can’t shake this gut feeling that we’ll end up circling back to Enzo near deadline day and just pay the release clause.

So Noni Madueke, PSV's England u21 winger, is the next to join for over £30m. Seems sterling and the Ukrainian lad aren't enough.

Serious question, does Boehly know how many wings a professional football pitch has?

I do hope they stuff Liverpool at the weekend, but seems Chelsea are spending to get back into the top 4 or 6. If it fails it could be fire sale time this summer at Stamford Bridge. Can see us being offered sterling back for half price.

There will be a fire sale regardless because I sure as hell do not think Pulisic, Ziyech, Auba, Azpi, Jorginho will be at the club next season. I even think guys like Havertz, Koulibaly and Gallagher etc could potentially find new homes either in the upcoming summer and in 12 months time. Then there are academy players on the fringes of the team like RLC and CHO who may decide they want to continue their careers elsewhere.

Pulisic would be a good signing for anyone.

Personally I think he has lost that explosiveness he showed at Dortmund and the early parts of his Chelsea career. Injuries seems to have decimated his agility and speed. There's a talented player in there somewhere but if he can't stay fit for more than 5 minutes at a time, then he isn't really of much use to anyone.

Yep that would be the gamble, if he is cheap enough give him time to fully recover get a pre season in him and watch him go.
