It's a bit mad with Chelsea at the minute. Last year they bring in Lampard to bring through the young players because of the transfer ban, their best players are Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount, everyone's raving about Billy Gilmour and Loftus-Cheek, they turn down 80 million from Bayern for Odoi. The young players get them into the Champions League despite a ropey defence.
As soon as the transfer ban lifts they bin them all off and bring in 200 million worth of attacking players and old Thiago Silva.
If I was Abraham, Mount or Odoi I'd be livid. Even last year with Pulisic, Odoi, Kovacic and Barkley it felt like they had one midfielder too many. Now they've got another four.
When you've got a relatively young defence who have made a few mistakes, bringing in someone like Thiago Silva for the training ground alone would be worth his weight in gold.
I agree that they're stacked up in midfield now, with good options up front and with rotation/cup games etc...they look in good shape.
