Chelsea's poor transfer business could take years to fix says pundit

Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United defender Gary Neville says Chelsea’s poor transfer business could take years to resolve.

As reported by the Metro, Neville believes that the current Premier League champions have fallen behind both Manchester clubs in the transfer market.

Chelsea completed a deadline day deal to sign Olivier Giroud from Arsenal, replacing Michy Batshuayi, who was sent out on loan to Borussia Dortmund until the summer.

Speaking about their signings both in January and the previous summer window, Neville told Sky Sports that he believes that the new additions are one dimensional, tailored to fit Antonio Conte’s system.

You could move Chelsea into that next pack, because they’re not competing with the Manchester clubs at this moment in time. I look at these signings, and I look at that transfer window, and I think that could take a couple of years to undo.

It’s so geared to a system, the five at the back. If something happens to Conte… it’s unlikely that he’ll be there [beyond the end of the season]. A new manager has got to pick up that squad with that system. You look at those players, Giroud is there to play as a single striker, Zappacosta wing back, Marcos Alonso wing back, David Luiz one of a back three. You think, it’s tailored to that three as a back. You have to unravel quite a lot system-wise, there’s a lot of risk in those signings.

There had been concerns that the Italian will not be in charge at Stamford Bridge next season.

Conte has clashed with the Chelsea board on several occasions this season, with the Blues already lining up a replacement for the 47-year-old.

Former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique and Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri are thought to be under consideration for the job.
