Chelsea’s summer signings were based on sound data

A lot has been spoken about Chelsea in recent days after the sacking of Thomas Tuchel, and whether it was right or wrong.

Of course, the majority of Chelsea fans believe it was harsh and wrong, and one of the many question marks over it was, why did you back him with his players all summer to then sack him?

Sources: Chelsea very close to appointing new Director of Football!

It’s a valid question to be honest. But an article on The BBC today suggests that these targets were not all signed just on Thomas Tuchel’s recommendation. They claim that senior sources at Chelsea believe the players signed – including former Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – are right for the club and were based on sound data and the club’s established scouting system.

If you want to look at it collectively, it was probably a case of all of them deciding and making a final decision together on which players they would pursue, with Tuchel involved as well.

  1. Chelsea have good players and did good signings, but I don’t know if it is the Coach’s type of play for our players to look lazy in the pitch. They don’t even adjust the speed even if the team is trailing in goals, most of the players simply fall when they on the ball and simply loose it . We begg the guys to be serious otherwise we can end this season on number 10 on the log and drop the UCL in Group stage if they continue to play like this.
