Chelsea's transfer model for a long-time has been one centred on spending huge amounts of sums on top-class players during the Roman Abramovich and the new Todd Boehly era but that pattern is set to change in the forthcoming years with what this new consortium have in plan.
The Blues have been known for a long time as a club that spend their way to success on the pitch. A host of big names over the years have been purchased for big money from different ownerships. Of course, signings like a Fernando Torres and Romelu Lukaku were made during the Roman Abramovich days when Marina Granovskaia was in charge of the transfer strategy. Unfortunately, in the case of these two, the nearly £150million spent was not worth it for what was returned on the player's behalf.
On the other hand, significant investments made for a lower monetary outlay, such as Thiago Silva or Eden Hazard have proved much more successful for the west Londoners over the years. Now that Abramovich has gone, Boehly - despite the £250m required spend committed during his first summer in charge - is looking to change the spending culture of Chelsea over time.
