Selling your own and buying someone else's is all about asset trading and FFP engineering, and nothing about improving chances of winning. This is what Chelsea are about now.

This rather unseen reply captures so many problems in one go and is why Chelsea is a broken football club that will continue to struggle until something changes. No amount of player trading will change that.

Count through the individuals and you can certainly identify good things, but put them all together and it's not a team that can compete for major honours. And perhaps that's the point; it's primarily a player trading and profit generating exercise.

he's the exact same player but with fewer trophies now

Best coaches and Nagelsmann in the same sentence.

much like every shot he took in a Chelsea shirt

Roman Abramovich failed in a bid to get CPO onside after almost a decade of ownership that brought the club unprecedented success. Good luck.

It should be noted that absolutely no new information about the stadium issue has been reported today. We've known that the owners covet the EC site for 2 years now. We've equally known that ECDC have always told them to get lost.

'CPO were formed for the right reasons but not needed now.' arguably as important now as it was then

Still all of this.

The final two minutes of this probably best sum up my feelings on the entire situation.
