Got to question Jose and his signings luis brought then sold salah brought and near on sold caudrado brought and looks like he might be loaned/sold! Come on what is going on salah and caudrado I don't think will ever make it at Chelsea anyway and luis was decent.
Why can't him put our best centre half at the club at center half instead of right back along with terry and have 2 out and out full backs bombing up and down putting in decent balls! Ivanovic can't cross his legs let alone a ball

The three signings you mentioned will more than likely be sold for a profit on what we paid for them. can't complain about that. Sometimes it just doesn't work out for players at certain clubs or countries. In recent years, There has been very few players that we haven't gotten decent fees for when we chose to move them on.
On top of that we've made some absolutely cracking signings in the last few years. Think Fabregas, Costa, Matic, Zouma, Azpilicueta etc.
I really don't think Chelsea fans should complain about transfers. Just have faith that the powers that be at the club will deliver yet again.

I was just saying this over on the Transfer Rumours page pinky. There's actually quite a few deals the club have messed up lately. Cuadrado doesn't look to be worth £5m let alone £26m.
I think if we're going to buy people they need to be players who are going to battle for a starting spot, not just to cover. Begovic was a shrewd signing! It's getting boring now but Pogba is the one player I think everyone was really hoping for, it's the one area we're weak in. Move Fabregas forward behind the striker and buy a top quality right winger with a good work ethic and we're pretty much complete!

Think Rory put it nicely and once again it's extremely easy to push a notion when you cherry pick the instances that make your point with the advantage of hindsight.

Yes t.k there's a mixture of both and you can't just look at the bad ones. Look at some of the signings like Costa, Fabregas, Matic from this Mourinho regime and the likes of Carvalho, Drogba and Essien from the first Jose era - he's made some amazing signings, Drogba being my favourite 😊
I mentioned the "club" getting some transfers wrong because I'm not sure Jose decides on every player, although he certainly has input, gone are the days Roman picks someone he's keen on and we're forced to have them!

The transfer process will probably involve a couple of people and the club have done well the last few years, even making a profit. Gone are the days when Chelsea used to spend freely, and perhaps that makes it less exciting. But I'm proud to be a fan of a club that wants to be self sufficient. I'm proud to be a Blue.
