To what extent are you satisfied with the composition of the club? What/who is missing up to 100%?

As a percentage it is difficult to estimate, but let’s say that by 60-70. Obviously, Chelsea is in trouble with the defenders. Tuchel’s main diamond, Rüdiger, has already signed a contract with Real Madrid, Christensen officially left the club as a free agent (he has previously signed everything with Barcelona), and Azpilicueta is still in limbo. In the center of the field, everything is also ambiguous. On the one hand, the chic trio of unique midfielders Kovacic-Kante-Jorginho, on the other hand, the unsteadiness of the same trio due to injuries.

40 percent . On the one hand, Chelsea retains the players with whom they took the Champions League. On the other hand, the team lost several defenders. Definitely left Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen, questionable – Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta. Chelsea could use an active player in midfield. N’Golo Kante suffers from injuries and sags in parts of the season. Jorginho played with back pain in the 2021/22 campaign, Mateo Kovacic reached the FA Cup final with an ankle injury. Saul returned to Atlético. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a deuce specific player. In the front line, everything will depend on the views of Thomas Tuchel. Romelu Lukaku waiting for a comeback at Inter – what kind of striker does the German want in return? According to rumors, Chelsea are considering offers for Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner. If one of the three leaves, an alternative will be needed. Will topple Kepa Arrizabalaga – similarly. And I did not mention the contracts of Mason Mount and Rhys James, which expire in a couple of years and in which the British are behind in wages. A lot of work. As Tuchel said, Chelsea are rebuilding, not improving the squad.

You will not be 100% satisfied with any squad, but Chelsea are doing very badly (by the standards of a top club, of course) . While some take Nunes and Hollands, defenders Rüdiger, Christensen, Alonso run away from Chelsea (although he’s okay, Koschny, and Chilwell returned). Against this background, it doesn’t even matter if Lukaku leaves. Central defenders are urgently needed so that they can already be played before the season. After all, Tuchel often plays with three central ones, so several new central locks are required.

60 percent. Because the club is clearly lacking a few players, and we saw this in the current season, when at the end no one had the strength. First of all, there are not enough strikers. Missed purchases twice in a row. Werner turned out to be an unbeatable striker, Lukaku – it is not clear what he is doing on the field. And in fact, Chelsea simply do not have a striker, the team’s top scorer is Havertz, who actually scored a little. There is no person in the club who is responsible for goals and in many matches this is not enough. That is, wingers, CBs, full-backs, anyone, join in and score, but not attackers. The club needs a person who will regularly give at least 20 goals per season. There are difficulties with the position of the CZ. Gone are Christensen and Rüdiger, and for free. It is strange that this was not thought of in advance. The German was generally the most important player in this system. Remaining Thiago Silva, who, how many there are, 52 years old (joke)? He’s cool, but you can’t count on him all the time. And all sorts of Chalobs and Sarahs are a bit not at the level of Chelsea, so we need a central lock, and preferably two.
