Indeed there is a need of making the squad better in this summer. I have talked about a need of a striker only but it isn't the only problem in this team of course. Besides they have actually signed Nkunku for the attacking line which would be a really nice improvement. But I don't know if they are planning to make do with this about striker transfer.

Apart from that I hope another thing not to happen. You know they signed Werner as well from Leipzig but there was no impressive performance left in him after coming to the Premier League. He was a great scorer in the Bundesliga. I hope the situation with Nkunku doesn't become similar to that as well.
They have a lot of failed purchases and it's just a waste of money they do. Of the many players they have brought in this season, how many players can make a big contribution? I can even say that not a single player has contributed this season.
Like it or not, they have to reshuffle, unless their new coach can convince that the existing players he can rely on and give something he wants with the strategy he has. But would he be able to do that, if not much change? I wouldn't say I could and I wouldn't say I couldn't either.

For example Mudryk has been brought here for 70 million euros. He played in quite many games with Chelsea this season but couldn't make a big contribution. I don't know maybe he has had adaptation problems but we would see whether it was really the reason by the beginning of next season. I agree that they couldn't benefit from their transfers very much after all the money spent.

Pochettino's job isn't going to be easy while trying to find the right game plan for this team. He will need to do an extra effort to improve the morale of the players as well after having a nightmare season. I'm at least feeling confident about he can't be worse than Potter.  Grin  I think they will be in top 4 race if they make a decent start and keep a good form for a while.
Despite the fact that Mudryk hasn't gotten as much playing times as people who had known his football prowess on the pitch before he arrived at Stamford Bridge would wish, I'm of the opinion that Mudryk is a great talented player that still possess the potentials to pick up himself and become the great footballer many of his folks would wish to see him be.
I think the player's major problem last season was the fact that he wasn't familiar with the kind of playing style that was adopted by the managers of Chelsea last season. Chelsea now has a new manager in Mauricio Pochettino and hopefully his style of play will give Mudryk that freedom to operate as an attacking midfielder that he is.
