It’s been a disaster, let’s be honest. Todd Boehly has made Chelsea significantly worse since taking over from Roman Abramovich.
Here are the many and varied mistakes he’s made at Stamford Bridge so far, but pretty much all of the transfers made under his watch could have made that list.
We’ve ranked the signings from sh*t to sh*ttest, and have included loan additions, but those who are yet to play for Chelsea have been spared…
13) Enzo Fernandez (£107m from Benfica)
He’s been fine but, understandably desperate to be able to hang their hats on someone, pundits and fans have made far more of his performances than has been merited most of the time. We would certainly question whether his displays have been worthy of an extra year being tacked on to his eight-and-a-half year contract.
That said, being fine in this Chelsea team suggests he may well be bloody brilliant; he’s certainly got all the attributes.
12) Benoit Badiashile (£33m from Monaco)
Probably (definitely) should have included him in their Champions League squad, to prevent the need to bring the curly-haired competition winner on.
Badiashile has all of the typical physical qualities required to be a top Premier League centre-back, along with the composure reserved for the very best.
11) Carney Chukwuemeka (£16m from Aston Villa)
The Villa academy graduate’s recent lack of game time is baffling, and you can’t help but feel he would be absolutely flying under Unai Emery at Villa Park right now.
Impressive performances, mainly from the bench, at the turn of the year should have been more than enough to retain that bit-part role and if anything should have seen him pushing for a starting spot. Instead Chukwuemeka’s featured for just 27 minutes since the start of February.
10) Wesley Fofana (£71m from Leicester City)
He had a bit of a mare against Vinicius Junior, but he wasn’t the first and won’t be the last, and Wesley Sneijder clearly hasn’t seen Fofana’s other recent displays for Chelsea. The former Leicester man is not “a waste of money”.
And actually, although it all looked a bit shaky against Madrid, the future looks pretty bright centre-back-wise for Chelsea, with Fofana, Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah all a good age with high ceilings.
9) Denis Zakaria (£2m loan from Juventus)
Like Chukwuemeka, Zakaria has looked pretty good when given the chance, but like Chukwuemeka those chances have been limited for reasons that aren’t entirely…
