To say that Todd Boehly is playing Football Manager at Chelsea is too simplistic and wide of the mark, such is the infrastructure he is trying to create at the club. But to work out the Blues' transfer activities moving forward, it is easier to compare them to a video game.
Simply put, having already spent over £250m on transfers over the summer, as well as a compensation package for Thomas Tuchel and a fee to Brighton for securing Graham Potter, the money isn't just going to keep coming. Boehly will have hoped for better results from those that he did buy in the summer, but Chelsea's current state - eighth in the league - indicates plenty more is still to be done.
Potter faces the bulk of a rebuild. Although this is partially being explored with the continued investment into youth players, the readily available squad has fallen short this season and needs some fresh blood and better long-term management. But, Boehly isn't just a money pit.
