Really?
Let Lukaku go so no striker.
Their best defender Rudiger has left.
Christensen's contract has expired so he's gone.
Kante another year older.
They've undergone board room changes and let one of the best transfer negotiators in Maria go.
They've let Petr Cech and Bruce Buck leave who both were instrumental to the successful running of the club.
On top of that, they don't have an oil tycoon in charge of the club. Instead, they have an American as part of a consortium who will have one eye on the balance sheet throughout his time there- something completely different to Roman who didn't care about profits.
On top of that, new guy charge has appointed himself transfer negotiator despite having no experience of soccer.
They were a well oiled machine but the new guy has come in and made sweeping changes. Don't get me wrong, they'll probs make a couple of big signings this summer cause he'll want to get the fans on board, but it's all coming across very messy and football manager like, and he'll eventually run them into the ground.
