It seems that you have followed and observed well Chelsea's movements in the transfer market in the last two seasons. Namely before Tuchel was fired and in the Pochettino era. And yes, you are very right that Chelsea has always been unlucky in the transfer market. And I think this club needs their previous staff who were actually always quite good in the transfer market. The Chelsea club currently managed by Todd Boehly prioritizes young players. And I think this is a good step in the long term but also quite a risky step in the short term. Because young players sometimes need a longer adaptation, which is different from senior players who are of a mature age who are easier to adapt to. I still remember when Tuchel was still there, Chelsea competed a lot in the transfer market with Barcelona and the funny thing is that Chelsea always gave in because they always lost out on high price bids. And Chelsea instead took alternative players who were certainly not as good as the players they were initially targeting. But actually the young players at Chelsea are now starting to show good performance. It's just that they haven't been consistent and still make a lot of mistakes. I also think that this season Chelsea probably won't move far from their current ranking. But I hope that next season Chelsea will start to have a better positive trend.
Personally, I think Chelsea's problem began during the Russia-Ukraine breakout and it really affected them because they had plans to gather for themselves players that are very much effective in performances but the whole incidence caused a few financial setbacks with the new boss Boehly finding suitable survival means for the club, trying to bounce back into proper financial stability and also gather up means to generate and acquire funds for proper team management.
Abrahamovic had big plans for the club in terms of player acquisition and while he was at the team, testifyingly, it was evident that the old boss was aimed solely at his team growth and he invested huge in getting good players and team heads that gave him proper results he needed. Boehly actually had a rough beginning with the team though, he was also determined for the club as every boss would be but situations caused the default which resulted that they acquire less players to sort of manage their way through the team and the season too and it's indeed costing them huge at this moment in the league and in competitions they've played. Will Chelsea ever be able to get out of this predicament.
They were once a vibrant team and they really didn't have to stay less at this point they are now but they just can't be blamed though. Not withstanding, as a team, they ought to try to find better solutions to correcting these players and managerial errors they've made so far. Hopefully this summer would be different and Boehly will develop thesame eagerness and zeal Abrahamovic had for the London side as their glory just needs to be restored back and very fast too. They're a competitive and high placed team and they have to bounce back and cover up this season's lapses too.
