When seven new readily available Chelsea players joining an already bloated squad questions will be asked by the fans. There is little disputing that.
Todd Boehly took on an ageing, tiring and thinning squad in need of a rebuild, spent over £550million on it and is still quite a way from completing the project. That is impressive whichever way it is viewed. It comes with an arrogance to want to do things differently and that must be admired. The time for Chelsea's success is not now, though.
In reverse of Roman Abramovich's money shaped plasters being applied consistently throughout his 19 year ownership Boehly has fast-tracked the squad with tremendous speed. 18 new players in two window with plans for most of them to be involved in the late 2020s is remarkable.
