But every Chelsea fan and his dog knew that it was essential for us to sign 2 new wingbacks to provide competition and there were literally a gazillion of them available during this window but we penny pinched for Danilo and Walker while we only "monitored" the likes of Aurier and Cancelo, Inter and Soton refused to budge on Candreva and Cedric respectively so we put all our eggs in the Ox basket without even confirming whether he even wanted to play in the position we were targeting him for! Can you believe it!! And the worst is that the best RWB available in the window literally moved for peanuts to Barca while we were caught up in our self inflicted Lukaku mess. Moving onto the left side, again it was apparent that once Juve had lost Bonucci and Alves, they were never gonna weaken their team even further by selling Sandro but our board daydreamed of him all summer while the more attainable targets like Mendy and Theo Hernendez were signed by City and Real respectively. Again we never got out of the "Monitoring" stage for Mendy while I doubt our board even knew abut the existence of Theo. And this is just the mess about the wing-back position, the whole Lukaku fiasco and the sale of Matic without even identifying a single replacement let alone lining up one have been monumental fuck ups by our board. Targeting a player like Drinkwater when other better players could be had for 40m or less like Fabinho, N'Zonzi, Krychowiak, Seri, Matuidi, Renato etc.
