Chelsea really didn't play around in transfers this season, they spent a lot of money to buy new players and also a new coach, if Chelsea are not able to finish in the top 3 next season then they will be very unlucky imo
Competing with Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United is not an easy matter, I have been a Chelsea fan for a long time, I also have high hopes for my favorite team to do big things in the coming season, go go Chelsea
This is not only the case for this season but in the last few seasons they have always spent more budget in the matter of player transfers because when the new coach came Todd did not mess around in facilitating to bring in players, it's just that the results were not really what they expected which in the end they could not get feedback because the results of the competition were not comparable to what they spent at the beginning because their transfers were not very good and seemed to waste money on players whose performance became ordinary.
This season they and Maresca will do it again where the transfers that will be made will clearly exceed several other big clubs but for performance problems we still have to wait whether the decisions made by Todd this time are right or just end up the same with the lack of results and performance that does not increase as before. But as much as possible Maresca at this time should be able to achieve an expectation in accordance with the expectations because after all even though Todd's money is a lot but if every season they always lose heavily then in the end they could go bankrupt and lose their money.
