Review of every Chelsea signing under Todd Boehly

My review of every Chelsea signing under Todd Boehly. Just my opinion, other opinions are welcome.

Sterling – £47.5M – Rating 5/10
I’m a big Sterling Fan, and I thought this was a great transfer. Just under £50m for one of England’s best players, and an English Premier League (EPL) proven winger. It has not worked out well, but I think that’s more indicative of the club’s position than on Sterling. He was great at City, but has been very poor for Chelsea. I hope he can turn it around.

Koulibaly – £33.8M – Rating 4/10
Another signing that I thought was shrewd, but didn’t work out. Unfortunate. Financially, a very poor transfer.

Omari Hutchinson – Free – Rating 7/10
Tearing it up for Ipswich Town, impressing. Would like to see him in the team next season.

Slolina – £12M – Rating 6/10
Another one that’s too early, but potentially a shrewd signing for the future.

Chukwuemeka – £20M – Rating 7/10
A player who I like, Chukwuemeka has thus far not had much playing time and has probably had his progress stalled from the Chelsea move. Injuries haven’t helped.

Marc Cucurella – £62M – Rating 2/10
Cannot say too much positive about this one. An absurd transfer fee for a player who has put out performances worse than Bakayoko for Chelsea. I would be surprised if we could fetch £6.2M for his services after last season, but thankfully this season he has slightly improved.

Casadei – £16M – Rating 3/10
Another one I don’t really understand. One for the future, but I think we have better talents in our academy.

Wesley Fofana – £72M – Rating 2/10
£70 million for an injury prone player who had one decent season for Leicester was always a mistake. Evans looked the better player in that Leicester defence, and I’m not sure why we thought it necessary to spend that amount on him. Still young and hopefully he can improve.

Aubemeyang – £12M – Rating 1/10
Baffling transfer. Bought in, presumably as a Tuchel pick and Tuchel was sacked a few days later. Waste of £12 million as he left for free after this, scoring 3 goals.

Zakaria – Loan – Rating 4/10
Very injury prone and did nothing of note.

Badiashile – £32.7M Rating 5/10
I guess he was alright, but never convincing. Will leave in the summer, but I doubt we will recoup over £25M for his services.

DD Fofana – £8.7M Rating 6/10
Too early to tell for this one, but promising signs.

Andrey Santos – £20M – Rating 7/10
A good pickup it seems, but an embarrassingly poor loan to Nottingham Forest stalled his progress. Whoever thought…
