There was much social media furore made during the January transfer window from fans clamouring to see Thomas Tuchel fully "backed" by Chelsea's then hierarchy led by Roman Abramovich. The charge was to see a more long-term vision at a club that the opposite had defined.
Six months later, the regime has changed, but the wish has been fully fulfilled by Todd Boehly and the Clearlake consortium in a summer unlike any other.
Few other deals this window indicate the German being backed more than a reported £18million deal to sign a 33-year-old striker from Barcelona. That 33-year-old happens to be Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a historically prolific goalscorer who forged a productive working relationship with Chelsea's coach at the Westfalenstadion.
