Chelsea's spending under Todd Boehly has been nothing short of remarkable. They have smashed records for the biggest transfer window for an English club and then followed that up with breaking the January record too. For a month notoriously hard to get business done, Chelsea have looked that in the face an laughed.
Their seven signings have cost them over £183million with the promise of more to follow. It is unprecedented spending power from an owner that many felt would be more stingy than the previous regime.
The reason for it is simple. Todd Boehly and Co. want to take a short cut to creating what is deemed 'their squad' and separating old and new in a clearly defined way. This helps to set up for the future and avoids a period of limbo, reducing the time spent 'in transition.'
