Not only was it hasty, but Todd Boehly was too involved in purchasing players. Initially the player's price was not too expensive, but now the price is high because of the participation of the Chelsea owner. Apart from that, Chelsea's sporting director or Chelsea's technical director is filled by an incompetent party. So, every mediation they carry out to bring in players becomes expensive. The main problem is, Chelsea made a mistake in choosing to bring in new arrivals. Of the many they brought in, only Enzo performed well. instead of being filled with young talent, the fact is that they do not live up to expectations, as they have done in their 4 matches this season.
Not only regarding Thomas Tuchel, but Todd Boehly doesn't seem to include the coach when bringing in new arrivals. just imagine what would happen to Potter, he would be confused by problems in the dressing room. Moreover, the players he brought in were not purely his choice and suited his team's needs. In the end, Potter had to bear all the consequences of what Todd Boehly and his staff did.

Now, Chelsea is managed by Pochetino. however, Chelsea's performance does not appear to be developing and leading to positive things. the only match they won was against the Luton team, and this is a serious problem for Chelsea and Pochetino. It's possible that Todd Boehly will fire him if Chelsea plays another bad match.
IMO, Chelsea actually has talented players. Unfortunately, their problem lies with the goal scorer. Also, they don't have a strong bond between the players. Therefore, they find it difficult to win match after match. and Pochetino must formulate an effective strategy so that his team can show its best performance.

Very strange, I agree. And okay it would be dominating the ball 55% for example, but no, Chelsea control the ball 70% of the time on the pitch, take shots, seemingly even normal defence, but no, still they get either a defeat or a draw, it looks like they are just unlucky. But this bad luck is not the first time, if you can call it that, because the coach is the one who has to solve this problem

After spending a lot of money but it didn't go according to what Chelsea management had planned, they ended up disappointed after getting players in large numbers and at high prices but not having the desired performance.
I will not blame any player here and I will also not blame any party because the efforts made by Chelsea to transfer large sums are done with the good aim of improving the squad's performance to be stronger this year, but if expectations do not match what is expected this will be it is the coach's responsibility to think about how to maximize the performance with the existing players and also the coach must be pressured to improve Mudryk's performance which is considered very poor at the moment.
I can also only understand the targets that Chelsea will carry out this season, it just requires a little hard work between the coach and the players to consult on how they can improve their performance and unite the chemistry of all parties to be able to immediately recover from this downturn.

Actually, Rafael Leao have been extend his contract this season with AC Milan and stay there until 2028 but financial problem facing by Milan not sure they will hold Leao until his contract over five years later. Milan have unpredictable thing after selling their favorite player Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United in this summer window, seems Manchester City has chance for signing Rafael Leao and bring him to Premier League one day later.

Current Manchester City transfer fee in this window summer, money is not significant problem and they will pay higher fees transfer then possibilities with Rafael Leao earned more expensive payment salary than staying with AC Milan. Looking with current position seems Manchester City in left winger still have Jack  Grealish and not really necessary for signing Rafael Leao.

We didn't waste money, Todd Boehly is building for the future, the players he bought that were mostly youngster are been sent on loan to train better with our sister club as for the other players, they haven't played together that much for a chemistry to be established. We can't expect things to change overnight, we have to give the squad time to adjust and get to know each other. Lets not forget some players came in late so they need time to play cooperative football. We bought so many first team player last window and these guys need time to play well. We also have a new coach that used a different style during the preseason but due to Nkunku injuries he's now force to changed formation and this is what is worrying the team.


You probably didn't watch Chelsea during the preseason games that's why you're saying Nkunku hasn't made an impact on Chelsea. He actually has and his absence is giving Chelsea problems. We had a different shape during the preseason and we played better as a team which is why we didn't lose any game during that time but every thing changed when Nkunku got injuired but that isn't an excuse. Pochettino is suppose to have found a solution by now and not giving excuse, we have so many forward that he can use to fill the shoes of Nkunku while he undergo treatment. Pochettino problem right now is that he doesn't know who to play at the left wing because chilwell that he has been using for the role isn't doing a good job.

City were the better team against Real Madrid last season and they were better than the Los Blancos in every department of the field, not just in the right back (left wing of attack) position, i think the game was won in the midfield, City controlled the midfield all game in the second leg. Having said that, even if we agree that Dani Carvajal was the weak link, he can't be judged on one game, he is a very solid defender who has contributed so much to Real Madrid, he is no longer the youngest right back out there, but he is still solid and a replacement isn't urgently needed.

I think an official offer from Man City has not been received to AC Milan, so Rafael Leao is still a Milan player until 2028. Regarding the opportunity that Man City has a big chance of bringing him out of Sansiro, money is not a significant obstacle for Pep Guardiola squad. Talking about speculation about Rafael Leao rejection, it looks like he will accept the offer openly and happily. It is certain that only a few players will reject the offer from Pep and Man City, because we know that the championship trophy will be one step closer if they join under Pep tutelage.

Staying in Milan for the next season or two is quite wise, I think, which can allow him to develop further before playing in the EPL. Because adapting to the EPL will be very difficult for star players from Serie A, because the playing culture is very different.

Rafael Leão is a player that will be very hard to replace. You don't get a player who is strong and skillful easily. For now, he is the engine room of AC Milan, and losing him will affect the club negatively. Apart from Manchester City, Chelsea are also interested in getting the service of the Portuguese winger. AC Milan will not want to let the player leave next year as a free agent since his contract will expire next year. So there are plans to give him a four-year contract that will make the 23years superstar earn close to €7m. Any club that wants to get him to have to break the bank and this fund will help AC Milan financially.

With the decision taken by Rafael Leao, Pep could not do more to get Leao to complete his squad, although today Rafael Leao was priced at around 175 million euro, I thought AC Milan would not sell it even though the price was 200 million euro, because AC Milan was moderate Trying to revive his enthusiasm to become a more fierce team in Serie A, and I agreed that Leao was a very important player for the AC Milan game.

But if you think again and Rafael Leao is selfish in himself, instead entering Manchester City is a good opportunity to increase his popularity as well as his development to be better in the hands of Pep Guardiola especially today Manchester City is a team that has a great opportunity to Getting streak again in the current season, but it seems he is not selfish and prefers to continue to develop with AC Milan.

Dani Carvajal was the weak link for Manchester City, as they operated from the right full back position more during the Champions League games last season. He should be replaced with a good defender but that defender can't be Reece James. He's now the Captain of Chelsea and has no internal issues with the management nor coach. Bringing him to Los Blancos would be difficult to achieve.

Replacing Thiago Alcantara would sure be difficult. He played a vital roles for Liverpool winning the Premier League. Injures are now his issues, he dropped form and can't make it easily to the first team, he should be sold.

I'll miss Julian Draxler, I watched him play for Wolfsburg and then to Paris Saint Germany. He was a very brilliant player until PSG got Neymar Junior who dumped him from his left wing position.

Here we are talking about the effectiveness of buying a player, I would agree more if a club bought 3 players and 2 of them became successful purchases, rather than buying 5 players but there were only 2 successful players. I also think realistically in this case, because of course in every player purchase we cannot expect that their purchase will be a successful purchase, and I think there are rarely clubs that can do that, and even if there is I consider it a luck. And what happened to Chelsea at this time, I agree that they were too hasty in deciding, if I'm not mistaken there were 9 players they brought in, and I didn't see from the players they brought in that really stood out, so it's not wrong to say they just wasted money to buy players.

It sounds like an impossible mission for manchester city to bring him to the ettihad stadium. In fact, leaso has been getting some offers during last season but he has been deciding to play in serie a even longer.
I thought that leao was an impossible transfer for manchester city. This guy has everything as a winger. City will be even stronger with him on its side, but it's too good to be true.
Leaso has explained that if he was willing to play in ac milan even longer than before. I see no chance for manchester city to take him from acmilan even when the club send decent offoer for acmilan.
Acmilan was just building back its dream club again. The club shall not miss that momentum.

I don't believe that's why they were sold. When Pochettino arrived, he was eager to give everyone an opportunity while also not discouraging anyone from leaving the club if they so desired. Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, and more players received offers from other teams and accepted them. If I were in his position, I would not hesitate to let them leave. To build a new team that has already been broken, all your players must be committed, dedicated, and have the willingness of the players.


I also believe Pochettino is a better manager than those who succeeded Tuchel. Building a broken team is no easy task, especially when new players are brought in. Even putting these qualities together and blending them will take a lot of effort and time. I won't say he's not on the right track, but he needs to get things moving faster since the club and fans need to see positive results quickly.

Man City are smart enough to not spend that much and try to go after other players on the same position. They are not the type of club right now to be "desperate" to find a game changing player for the team. They have a great squad so they don't need to have spend that much when they have everything they need. 175m is a lot and City if wants to spend that much then they would rather think about getting more players than getting a player for 175m. I don't think City will go much for that player at all.

175 million euros is the release clause in his contract so if Man City wants to get Leao, it must redeem that much because Milan and Leao have agreed to activate this.

Yeah if Man City want to keep pushing then they must be willing to spend big money but this rumor is still unclear because Leao still wants to stay at Milan.
Even if he leaves Leao Milan then this team will lose a talented striker like him, maybe you think he is ordinary for me Leao is quite important in Milan.

Yes that true and Manchester City has a target of becoming the ruler of the Premier League and also the UCL in the longer term so they will retain all the players with abilities that they feel can still be relied on.
So far for the Premier League only Manchester City has a very perfect list of players or you could say they are star players that most teams cannot have and in the future there is still a very big chance that they can bring back several trophies every season.

In contrast to Barcelona which may still have a little difficulty in forming a squad containing great players because until the player transfer window closes Barcelona still seems confused and there have been several failures in submitting bids.
If in the next transfer window Barcelona does not immediately look for several players who can fill the void then they will certainly be left even further behind by Real Madrid in the Spanish League.

Leao performance during playing at Milan was very consistent that's why Milan has decide to extended his contract until 2028 and at his new contract Milan was putting a release clause approximately 100 millions but last time i heard Milan want 150 millions to those who want to buy him and i am sure if Manchester City want to bought Leao from Milan the price will be very expensive and not impossible this transfer will broke the record as the most expensive player in the Manchester City history and the current expensive player at this team is belong to Jack Grealish that Manchester City have to spend 117 millions to bought him from Aston Villa

Replacing Todd Boehly? That's an impossibility.
Who would buy Chelsea at such a high price and in such a chaotic state as it is now especially would Todd want to leave with the losses he has earned while at Chelsea? I don't think that will be possible.
I'm actually quite sorry to see Todd at the moment where the money he poured out which is certainly not small has not gotten any results and is increasingly making him get losses but this is the impact of the strategy he practiced to bring Chelsea with a path that was considered instant and with his haste in taking action.
Things that have happened last season and his movements at the start of the season by entrusting the reshuffle of current players have not shown good results, he should have realized enough by now that being a club owner who interferes too much in terms of management is a mistake.

The funniest part about it all the issues that Chelsea has right now is that they tried to solve the actual issue by doing the same mistake again. It became obvious that money isn't the sole solution and that it needs planning and sophisticated scouting for players who fit well together, but no, they just did the same mistake. Use as much money as they can to get as many superstars as they can and then hope that these incompatible superstars become a superior unit and dominate the Premier League. That's funny considering that Todd Boehly deems himself a professional in sports business and club building.
