“Chelsea make big mistake selling him” – player reportedly set to sign new contract, to prove Chelsea wrong to sell him

Chelsea’s Transition Under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital Raises Eyebrows

Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over, Chelsea’s decision-making has been under scrutiny, from managerial appointments to transfer dealings.

Managerial Missteps

The choice to part ways with a Champions League-winning manager and bring in Graham Potter left many scratching their heads. Now, even the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino seems questionable, as Chelsea languish in ninth place in the Premier League under his leadership.

Transfer Troubles

Chelsea’s transfer activities have also come under fire, with Mykhailo Mudryk’s signing from Shakhtar Donetsk being a prime example. Despite the hefty price tag of potentially £89m, Mudryk has struggled to make a significant impact, tallying only six goals since his arrival at Stamford Bridge last year.

Departure Dilemmas

The departure of key players has raised eyebrows as well, with Kai Havertz’s recent performance against Chelsea for Arsenal amplifying questions about his sale. Additionally, the decision to offload Jorginho last January seems questionable in hindsight. While Chelsea acquired World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez in the same window, Jorginho’s exit deprived them of a vice-captain and a seasoned midfielder. The Italian’s success at Arsenal, where he is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract, underscores the oversight in Chelsea’s decision-making process.

Learning from Experience

Chelsea’s impending loss of veteran Thiago Silva further highlights the importance of retaining experienced players. As they bid farewell to Silva, Chelsea should reconsider the strategy of letting go of seasoned talents, especially in light of the struggles faced by their youthful and inexperienced squad.
