When it comes to surefire success stories in the transfer window, a player with experience of the division, in their peak and with over 100 league goals would come near the top of that list. It fits the bill for Todd Boehly's first addition to the Chelsea men's team but it also describes one of the club's biggest failures.
Romelu Lukaku was meant to be the man for Thomas Tuchel last year. It was well documented how good the deal seemed to fit, on the outside at least, without going into tactical details and personal issues, the transfer should have drawn Chelsea closer to their rivals.
Of course, it didn't work out like that, and as much as fans will want to hear as much from the Belgian striker as possible, the loan move back to Inter Milan is only a temporary solution. For now it has little impact on the business that Boehly does.
