Former Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo says that it is vital that the club now change their current transfer strategy.
And of course, we all know he is absolutely spot on there, because it is something that literally all of us, many former players, pundits, and journalists have been saying for YEARS now! Everyone can see it, it’s time that Chelsea’s owners see it.

Di Matteo of course helped Chelsea lift their first Champions League trophy, and he was a pretty good player as well before injury forced him to retire too early. Even though he’s not really gone on to do much more coaching, he certainly knows he stuff about the game.

In words picked up today by SPTC, Di Matteo said:
“I think the owner just said it last week. On the weekend he said that they’re probably going to look at changing the transfer policy a little bit.
“I think it’s vital. If you want to have a little bit more consistency, if you want to be able to challenge, maybe for the Premier League, you need to have a good balance.
“You need very good, young, talented players, but you also need a little bit of experience within the team.”
Cole Palmer was annoyed with Alejandro Garnacho for switching off at a crucial moment and allowing Man Utd to score on Saturday. A video captured his angry reaction.
And also on Garnacho, a journalist has claimed that whoever signed him at Chelsea should be sacked on the spot, because he’s never been good enough.
