Youre giving him too much credit for the transfers. Chelsea were always going to spend money on players after the ban, in fact you could argue that money wasn't used all that wisely. Those are huge fees for depth.
Let’s use Football manager terms.
Mendy - ‘
Key player’, best in the world on form currently.
Werner - ‘
important first team player’, may not be as prolific as hoped but his all round game compliments our style.
Havertz - ‘
important first team player’, hasn’t always clicked but has by no means been a failure and will surely get better and better.
Ziyech - ‘
rotation’, up and down form but the talents there and for modern fees was by no means a waste of money.
Chilwell - ‘
important first team player’, this season has been utterly terrific and easily the best LB in the league right now.
Silva - ‘
important first team player’, age means nothing to this man, incredible player.
Shall we compare that to Oles record at United? Not a single one of them is anywhere near best in the league. Ronaldo was not an Ole signing, that was clearly something over his head.
