Chelsea transfer window seems to be the opposite of ours, but still not exciting? It'd be interesting to hear the thoughts of Chelsea fans?

Whereas we have only one major incoming and many are clamouring for more, Chelsea seem to have gone for everyone and their mother in law, yet still don't really have a defined team, identity or style? What isn't it now, with Neto, 49 registered first team players?

I suppose it's one of those where, if it goes well on the pitch, who cares? I don't particularly have a problem with it, but if that was us I'd be a bit worried about the scattergun approach continuing from last year with Yosemite Sam firing his blank(cheques)s in very direction.

how can it possibly go well on the pitch, how can you keep any kind of club harmony or dressing room harmony when most of these players have no indeed when or where they will be playing or how they should be playing its baffling.
 
Feels like it's going to end in tears.

They basically need to make £200-£300m of sales every summer, unless they are allowed to sell more assets to themselves.

I think most have to go on loan, but didn't they change the rules on loans a few years back, specifically because it was felt Chelsea and City were hoarding too much talent?

Maybe Boehly is confusing it with the NFL, they seem to have half a county on the sidelines that and tag in and out every few seconds.

Amortisation is up to £147m per summer. Utter madness when they’ll have to sell players on 8 year contracts to make up the shortfall.

They might not give a fuck but how is it sustainable?

They must have at least 30 first team players on their books which has to be trimmed down to 25 plus you have to factor in the home grown quota both English and trained at the club.

Unless they're about to have a huge fire sale it's just not going to work
 
If they carry on like this they will need to find another hotel to sell or ask if they can be included in the Rags special PSR rules

even if they have a massive fire sale how on earth will they realise any value in any of the players they sell, every club will know they are desperate to sell and cut them off at the knees

If one of those players was a made up name, nobody would notice, not the most die hard Chelsea fan, not Todd Boehly and definitely not their manager.
 
Buy a complete team every time they change manager.

7 keepers on the books.
