Limited transfer budget ahead

Antonio Conte's successor at Chelsea will have a limited budget and will need to focus on youth development instead. The Italian frequently criticised Chelsea’s lack of spending relative to clubs like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, resulting in his eventual demise.

In fact, whoever is going to be in charge is probably not going to experience the same challenges as focus will be shifted to the construction of the new stadium with costs with costs now rising to as much as £1.2 billion.

The new man in charge will subsequently focus on youth development which will also have long term benefits as well particular to to forging the brand.

Former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique remains the favourite at this stage though a number of Mestalla graduates stagnated under him, while Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri might also be considered.

Napoli's right-back still on Chelsea's radar

The 2017/18 abysmal title defense is nearing its end after a series of feeble performances by our beloved Chelsea.  However, it appears as if we are hoping to fortify our side for our future campaigns but the reality is becoming evident that new talent may simply not enlist with the Roman army as Champions league qualification is a nagging probability.

Be that as it may, the waning champions are leading the race to snatch the likes off Elseid Hysaj. This sublime right-back has been on the radar of Europe's top brands and it does appear that a move from the club is an eventuality.

Chelsea is supposedly the main club to have regular talks with his agent. It would appear  substantially more likely for the Albanian to be a consistent starter at Stamford Extension than for Liverpool or Man Joined together.

It is exceptionally uncommon that a full-back is competent on the both wings and he won’t come cheap either with his probable €50 million release clause in order to ensure a Serie A exit.

Although Victor Moses has not exactly performed as expected during this campaign my question is whether a possible limited budget would result in some unflattering personnel changes next season though.

Man City’s professionalism enforces Chelsea’s irrelevance

Yet another dismal showing from the champions ensures further unrest and uncertainties in the crippled Blues squad.   The results continue to baffle fans and has certainly damaged the fragile Chelsea brand marred by frequent personnel changes and general apathy from player and coach alike.

Fans and pundits expected a more professional showing and it appeared that all Conte wanted to achieve was to limit the Manchester juggernaut which obviously undermines the financial might invested in the squad this season.  Should we resort to grooming a player like Frank Lampard to restore the euphoria at Stamform Bridge once again which was, in my opinion, only evident during the early years of the Abramovich and Mourinho era.  In fact, this financial boost possibly resulted in a quasi-professionalism that is now resulting in our inconsistencies.  Remember the sheer entertainment that Chelsea offered before the Mourinho era though?
