Chelsea he had a great time last summer and is now linked to a number of notable names. But The blues considered not to have clear plans and ideas.
Chelsea spent £280m last summer to bring in a number of players. They bought Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.
They signed young striker David Datro Fofana in the January transfer market and were linked up with Enzo Fernandez and Mykhaylo Mudryk. Fernandez was initially more associated with Liverpool and Real Madrid, while Mudryk was a big target for Arsenal.
Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf rates so far The blues showed no clear plan in team building. He even believed Graham Potter as manager, you have no say in determining the target players, instead you just use players who have been brought in by the board of directors led by Todd Boehly.
For the record, last summer’s string of big signings had been planned by previous manager, Thomas Tuchel. Leboeuf sees this as a disaster for Chelsea, because they’re basically just spending money trying to find a solution.
“I don’t think Potter had the chance to build something, I think he was chosen to change the way Chelsea are, not to buy stars, to build something with young players, for example Mason Mount and others who can bring something at the club” said Leboeuf ESPN quoted Metro.
“We’ve seen a lot of players struggle because they don’t have ideas or plans. The only one who can have a plan is Potter because he’s the team leader. Not Mr. Boehly, nobody on the board, not even the players.”
“If he (Potter) can’t buy the players he wants and is forced to play players recruited by directors, it will be chaotic. Yes, that’s what’s happening now. You buy players, you put them together, but you don’t know what to do. It’s a mess,” he continued.
Chelsea are currently spread out in 10th place in the Premier League table with 25 points from 16 games.
