Ted Boehly has been told that he needs to sign a striker for Chelsea in the coming transfer window. Over the last couple of windows, Chelsea have spent some serious money on players that have not really made the kind of impact that would have been hoped by the board – and they have really flopped this season.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Chelsea will be very lucky to get back into Europe after some decent results in recent weeks – but that does not hide the fact that they need to improve that defence in the summer and add a striker to the side.
Merson told Sky Sports: ‘They probably need an experienced centre-half to take Silva’s place, and they could do with another centre-forward too.
‘They want to be getting into the Champions League next year, surely. So they’ve got to start bridging the gap to Arsenal and Man City.
‘This is Chelsea, not a run-of-the-mill team. Chelsea are used to winning things, they want to win stuff – not finish fourth in the league like Tottenham wanted to do, and celebrate about it.
‘I can’t see how Poch isn’t in charge next season, though nothing surprises you. I haven’t thought they should ever get rid of him, he’s a good manager.
‘Individuals don’t win anything, and as long as they can keep sorting that out and keep playing as a team now, they’ll be alright.’
Changing managers may not be the best thing for CHELSEA right now – who is there out there that can do a job with this squad?
A new striker is needed – what Chelsea have is not good enough and the board need to make sure that they sign a big name – rather than a talent.
