They'll need more then Thiago Silva and Chilwell for the defence.  Silva a good player, but 35, wether he'll adapt to a premier League. Defence was their real let down last season.
They are looking to offload Kepa, so an improvement on him would be needed in nets .

Tammy Abraham will be well down the mix with all the attacking options, after starting last season well.

Attacking options will be Tammy, Giroud, Mount, Werner, Ziyech, Hudson, Havertz, Pulisic...even Barkley...theres a lot of players to keep happy

Id say Giroud will go. Surely Hudson Odoi who wasnt happy before this influx will have to go to get playing time.

Some good players on paper being brought in anyway...

That's just, like your opinion man.

This summer after signing Wener and Ziyech the net spend is just £17m with Morata and Pasallic the two heavy outs.
Last summer was a profit of £100m.
Summer 2018 was a spend of £120m.

So in 3 x seasons it's a net spend of £37 million.

There will likely be a few more outs this window, Zappacosta, Emerson, Batshuyi, Bakayoko which will easily take that number to neutral.

So only purchases from here in will be out of the bank as such.

Thats pretty impressive especially given the age profile of the signings. If Chelsea sign a couple of decent defenders they will be hard to beat this year. Like Liverpool (with Couthinho) it shows how one big money transfer out can completely overhaul a team for little net spend in reinvested properly in a targetted fashion (VVD/Allison). Unfortunately it can also be completely wasted a la the Suarez money if you try to spread it too thinly.

Frank should never been appointed in hindsight.
Tuchel looks to have them motoring already. From struggling to finish Top 10 Chelsea are already now back in with a shout for Top 4.
I expect them to be Manchester City and Liverpool's main title challengers next season.

Capt Pat

Chelsea fall behind to a counter attack goal where the Dortmund players first touch takes him clear. Mudryk gets a chance where his first touch will put him through on goal and he misses the ball.

This week's ties are kind of proving that there's not much difference in quality between a £10m player and a £80m player, except all the £80m players are hanging out in the PL, getting richer and unfulfilled.
