I'm really surprised, don't know what's wrong with Chelsea, sign quality player and compete for title

You are short-sighted! If a lower table team buys this player and a year later they sell for 75 millions,  the same u will be like why didn't Chelsea buy him.when he was just 23 millions! l believe Chelsea is doing a wonderful job in buying these young players at low-cost,  the best will stay and the average ones will be sold a few years down the road for some handsome prices. So remain cool because the board knows what they doing

The same Chelsea will still Loan players like this after signing them, and probably later sell them, after not giving them enough chance in the first team, and later go back to buy them for crazy amount later on! He absolutely right with what he said, why not buy players with experience who will be starters, rather than signing young players who you don’t plan on using? If the current midfield is what we are planning on using to compete next season, then we must be joking for real! We really must be joking!

low cost u said? so 23m is low cost, other teams are buying players as low as 500,000 pounds and sales them millions pounds, what Chelsea needs now is quality players that would help the team to redeem it image.

Nothing to add, nothing to subtract. You nailed it bro. Lesley is Kante-like. He will excel here.

nope...he is not right, him should know that, the buy is for the future, not now, him again should also know that in the next 2years down the line, some few old players will leave the club for another, so catching them young now and send some out on loan to a very good clubs is one of the best to watch them closely with the help of local and international scouts for assessment,  and lastly majority of the players that's going is not Chelsea that tell them to leave, some want to go somewhere else, while some, the club want to ship them out if, they're not ok or getting much better of what the board expected,...so please Chelsea never did anything wrong...💙💙💙💙💙💙

this is the problem with Chelsea the money they would have used to buy quality player they are using it to buy a player that will go on loan.

We should keep him because this season is best season for us to develop our players cause we're not playing in Europe this season the Coach should use this opportunity bring out from them.
