This is the reversal. The quietest January transfer window in recent history is over. The curtain closed, but there was no one to surprise the audience.
Do Chelsea deserve the plaudits?
Of course, not because the timing of Armando Broja’s departure is questionable, but because of their actions.Last year they broke the British transfer fee record and signed 8 players, but the situation was not good.
Summer spending has yet to be fully repaid, but will only be as players begin to settle and develop. For hiring teams that are new and haven’t yet been compensated for their work, this can be even more difficult. It’s hard to say no when Karim Benzema makes a joke in front of you. But so far, “Chelsea” is resisting. Their desire to change things will be very strong this month.
Talk of a new striker is at an all-time high. For a while there were Ivan Toni, Victor Osimhen, Victor Giokeres and even John Duran. The briefing was a time when all eyes were on the new goalkeeper, left back, central midfielder, winger and striker. In an age where less business is better business, perhaps some recognition should be given to horse owners’ clubs, at least in terms of revenue. It will not last long.
