My bad, I didn't know. I thought it was under Abramovich they started their reckless signing spree. Few days ago, I came across this picture on twitter of Chelsea's dressing room by troll football and it really cracked me up.
Well, if the strategy is working for them, they should go on with it. However, with what happened to Mudryk or should I say how his case is looking, I'd expect them to be atleast smart in handing out these lengthy contracts to new signings.
Coach Enzo Maresca is trying to cut down on the players and hopefully many of them will leave. I think Chelsea is willing to offload as many players as possible. I guess the club has above 40 players. However, since they will be playing in the UCL they might need many players.
