It is difficult to understand what is going on in Chelsea's management's mind, since the transfer window opened they have brought in 9 players, Pedro Neto, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Filip Jorgensen, Omari Kellyman, Aaron Anselmino, Renato Vega, Caleb Wiley, Marc Guiu, and Tosin Adarabioyo. Now Chelsea squad is getting fatter, but their performance has not improved. Putting hope in Felix is clearly a big mistake, he is not a player who can make a difference in a team. Atletico Madrid do not need him anymore because the quota in the front line is very full, if he is an important player for Atletico, there is no way they will sell him.
Chelsea should stop buying players, rather develop the abilities of the players they currently have and sell players who are not in the coach's plans to reduce the club's burden. Enzo Maresca must find a solution so that the defeat he just experienced against Manchester City does not happen again, he needs to develop the right strategy in the next match to get his first points. If there is a player that needs to be brought in, Osimhen might be better than Felix, Chelsea could include Lukaku in the deal to reduce the transfer fee.
The club keeps making the same mistakes, and sometimes, I feel that the management is under a spell. The club had enough players that would have comfortably competed this season. But they are busy sending out their best players, such as Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, and even Raheem Sterling. I wouldn't drop Sterling for Joao Felix, the former is better than the Portuguese.
The only problem I knew Chelsea had last season was their inability to convert chances. They had some of the best players that were about to play good football, but most of the chances were wasted by mainly Nicolas Jackson. Enzo Maresca would have simply brought him a natural number nine and did some reshuffling to balance their financial standing. Now, the coach is allowing some young players who can be groomed to be the future stars of the club. I am pained to see him put players like Carney Chukwuemeka, Cesare Casadei, and Angelo Gabriel for sale.
