Yeah but you've picked Chelsea's weirdest signing in Madueke and one of our (supposedly) better ones in Biss.Bissouma is no more a squad filler than madueke tbf, it’s probably somewhere in the middle, chelsea have too many cb’s for all of their new ones to be first choice.
Biss was coming in to provide competition and rotation for Hojbjerg and Rodders...I don't think anyone really know why Madueke went to Chelsea, apart from a long and well paid contract.
You also have to compare the levels of both squads at the time because they had much more strength in depth that we did, with a higher level of quality.
Yet they spent much, much more money on more players than we did.
I feel that you may be missing the point I was making but if you really think Chelsea's recent recruitment is in any way comparable to ours, surely there are better relative comparisons than Bissouma Vs Madueke?
I think most managers would struggle to balance the Chelsea squad as it stands, so I find it a little hard to level too much criticism at someone like Potter for failing there.
