the grauniad follows up with some investigative journalism after having their interest piqued by the conversation upthread
Since October 2014 Chelsea have spent upwards of £100m on Loïc Rémy, Radamel Falcao, Nathan, Juan Cuadrado, Danilo Pantic, Asmir Begovic, Baba Rahman, Pedro, Papy Djilobodji, Michael Hector and Pato, a candidate for most scattergun 18-month spending splurge in the history of all football everywhere. Chuck in 31 loan players, £100m of talent orbiting the club like dislocated souls, a zombie-swarm of 60 first-team players waiting to greet Antonio Conte on his first day. It is tempting to wonder what the plan really is here.
