#4 Poor transfer window decisions
Some of Chelsea’s transfer business have been baffling. Their midfield thrived last season when Matic and Kante were on sweeping duties in midfield. The duo formed a formidable partnership and contributed immensely towards Chelsea’s Premier League triumph.
But in the summer transfer window of 2017, Chelsea okayed Matic’s sale to Manchester United. Not only were they sending away one of the most pivotal players in the team, they were also making Manchester United, a title rival, stronger.
They bought Danny Drinkwater, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Ross Barkley to fill that void and none of them has impressed this season. Missing out on Romelu Lukaku meant that Chelsea have had to do with Alvaro Morata.
Though Morata started strongly, his form has dwindled since while Lukaku has been going from strength to strength at Old Trafford.
