A transfer news account on Twitter has got some of the key quotes with Tuchel speaking about how we all need to adapt and adjust to the current situation at the club with new owners coming in, key players leaving, and needing time to transition.
You can see some of the main quotes here below…
Tuchel: “It was a crazy half a year with sanctions where we didn't know if we could travel, whether we could sign players, not sign players, losing players due to sanctions and then we had a change of ownership. It was quite an intense summer. It's not getting boring.†(BT) #CFC

Tuchel: “The club is in transition and at the same time, the team is in transition. We lose key players – one of the captains in the dressing room in Toni, and you lose a high potential player in Andreas. They were, together with Thiago, the core, heart & foundation of our squadâ€

Tuchel: “Everyone needs to adapt and adjust. It's exciting but sometimes also very demanding and time-consuming. It changes always, it feels like that, and we've done it now in pre-season and the start of a new season which makes it more demanding." (BT) #CFC

Tuchel has a real point here as well, there has been a lot happening at Chelsea recently so there is going to be a period of transition. However, at a club like Chelsea, you just have to get results no matter what.
C.F.C. may well be in transition, but how much money could have been saved, if players coming through were given a chance. Sold two top defenders, now Billy. Although Lukaku was given chance, after chance, but still achieved nothing. Now we have to rely on a couple of old men, to stop,—and score goals, out of desperation. Soon they will have to go, —so back to square one again, more chasing players, most we do not get. CRAZY
