Chelsea Youth on Twitter has just posted an image showing the signings the club made between 2017 and last summer, showing a £1bn of wasted cash.
You can see the team in the image embedded here:
Even by the loosest definition, only Rudiger, Silva, Chilwell, Fofana, Kovacic and Jorginho have been a “success” – although Rudiger, Kovacic and Jorginho had their ups and downs and Fofana has only played a handful of games.
That leaves free transfer Silva and Ben Chilwell, out of TWENTY TWO players bought, as unqualified successes.
That’s a shocking hit rate, spread between the old ownership and the new. The failures in there are obvious and we don’t need to point them out. A club can probably survive a 50% hit rate, but if you’ve dropped below 10% like we have, the whole rotten structure needs to be uprooted and replaced. Otherwise the cash will continue to flow out of the club.
Kepa was also a waste
