I don't think any of them are actually bad players (they're just massively over valued in terms of fee and wages and therefore expectations are way higher than they should be), it's the fact that so many of them have been thrown into the team at the same time that's fucked them. Having said that, you'd think a competent coach would've managed to get sort sort of a tune out of them after a season, even with the injuries they've had.

Luckily, Poch talking about Cole Palmer FC didn't backfire.

Chelsea have actually become Cole Palmer Football Club
In the absence of Cole Palmer, no one at any level of this chronically underachieving Chelsea project can escape scrutiny

Here's a piece from the Chelsea Pitch Owners accounts that shows the weird set up at Chelsea. If Chelsea cost £3 billion to buy and they don't even own the freehold of of their own stadium, how much are Spurs worth ?

Next game is Villa. They must want to make up for last night. Palmer will be back.Chelsea in rolling over to Arsenal shocker eh…
They’ll just make up for it by putting on more effort in their next game against us lol.
Dont agree with pundits continually spouting the same crap about their 100m players bring crap. That’s as maybe but they don’t set the price.
Keown got up my nose laughing at Joe Cole about Chelsea not turning up .Tosser. Happy for people to link him with the invincibles even though only 4 starts.
Joe Cole deserves every bit of grief he gets.
Did you see him before our game at West Ham the other week? Embarrassing, he was like a moron in the pub goading Hoddle.

Yeah it was something Ken Bates did. Interestingly if they move from SB they can’t be called Chelsea FC

Sort of ensures they can't move , when RA tried to buy the pitch owners out he couldn't get the 75% vote needed in favour.
If Boehly wants a new stadium they are going to have to build on the current plot of land , I think it was said that would mean a three or four year move to Wembley, we had the luxury of being able to complete a lot of our place whilst still playing at WHL.

After tonight's result with Chelsea struggling to make a European spot this season it is going to put a big strain on their finances , how long can they stand to pay a £400 million wage bill without some more dodgy deals.

You'e answered your own question. It's Chelsea, there will always be more dodgy deals that they somehow get away with.
They already have one in Nkunku, he's just been crocked for 95% of the season.
