FORMER Manchester United striker Louis Saha has berated Chelsea’s “ridiculous” transfer strategy.
The Blues have spent over £1BILLION in the transfer market since Todd Boehly took over in May 2022.
Amid the huge cash splash 30 new players have walked through the doors of Stamford Bridge in the last 18 months.
However, Chelsea are still struggling in the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side currently sit 12th in the table with just 19 points from 16 games.
Blues fans have grown increasingly frustrated in recent weeks, with some even calling for a new manager.

But ex-Prem striker Saha is not convinced that such a change would spark an improvement.
Speaking to Paddy Power, the former United star said: “From the start of the season I never understood the strategy behind Chelsea’s signings – it was ridiculous.
“You could put any manager in there and I doubt that he will manage those young players well.
“The structure is really hard to find – it seems like they don’t know each other, especially when playing at Manchester United – there was quality, but no links between players.

“This is why they are struggling – they can impress and be frustrating, they are good players but there is no strategy behind it.
“Those are the basics of football – you can’t just expect signings to be the solution, you have to give the players the right time and get the proper education on how they will play and put the players in the best positions.
“At the moment, I don’t see any of it – there are some games they are playing very well, but the Premier League is tough.”
Chelsea currently have the worst points-per-game record in the Premier League for 2023.
This record is only matched by Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, however, they played one less game than the Blues.
