Turns out our transfers are pretty good since he left. I would even say great!
January 2018: Giroud, Barkley and Emerson. They all cost around 50m which is so cheap! Now Barkley himself is worth more than that. Emerson became our starter and Giroud was very useful.
Summer 2018: Kepa - one of the best goalkeepers in the world and Jorginho who was must buy last season and I think he'll be useful in Frank's team as well.
January 2019 : Pulisic - I have so much hope in him to become our leader in coming years.
And this summer we bought Kovacic another good player to have.
We also gave chances to loanees like RLC and now Zouma, Mount, James, Abraham are coming in plus CHO is already here... With transfer ban we couldn't do much better this summer.
We won two trophies since he left and I really like Lampard appointment.
So to sum up I think we are run much better since he left.
We were third best defense last season in the league. In Conte first season we conceded 33 goals, in second 38 and last season with Sarri 39. If you take away crazy games like City and Bournemouth where we conceded 10 goals we had great defensive line last season.
Great news. We need him. Kante should be ready for United. Willian is back. James in two, three weeks. CHO in September if I'm right. That leaves only RLC out but with Barkley and Mount playing like this no worries.
