This has the potential to be the worst/most underwhelming transfer window we’ve had in recent memory.

It is starting to resemble the sort of window a club like Everton or Brentford have.

@Vesper is he good?

This is something we'll have to get accustomed to. The majority of our present and future transfers will be for the future. "Time will tell" if they are excellent or terrible.

Sounds fake news... we don't offer just 4 years contracts...

In what way? 
 

Getting Olise, Duran and Tosin is all good business while getting rid of Ian. 
 

If we can sell off Lukaku and Sterling as well, while maybe getting in another piece ready to play now - it would be a good, astute window. 
 

We would have Palmer, Olise and Nkunku up front with an improving Jackson. That is a potent, high scoring front 4. Duran has mega potential IMO. 
Caceido, Enzo, Gallagher and Lavia are a good, improving midfield. 
 

Aside from LB, I’d like to see one more CB and it would be a great window. I don’t even know if LB is that pressing considering Colwill or Cucu can start there in Enzos system. Especially if Gusto or James are on the right it gives flexibility for Colwill to be on the left. 
 

We came 6th last year with 3 of our 5 best players not really playing.

If we were supplementing this massive youth movement with established, top class players in the 25-28 range every now and then I’d say “fair play, that’s a smart strategy.” But it seems like what we’re actually doing is targeting only young talents who are perhaps years away from being Chelsea first team quality, if they’re ever ready.

I don’t understand how the ownership expects us to get the UCL revenue back flowing every year when we’re going to once again have a squad full of kids over the next few seasons.

Our squad now are maturing and growing together. And in turn the players coming in will be understudies and learn. And we will play a particular way and players can just slot in. 
 

Takes a while to get up and running but when it does you have players slot in seamlessly like Liverpool and City have had when young guys step in during points of injury. 
 

These guys had a rocky start with the Dodgers too and have been super successful since.

Agreed. It's really the part I disagree with about the strategy. You have to make bets esp up front, but boy they incur into unnecessary risk by the lack of experience.

Disagree. Contrary to Baseball, football is a contact sport, much more so than Basketball, for example. The bigger the challenge, more contact and more intimidation, being technical, physical, or mental comes into play. Yes, given time some players will raise to the challenge, but why a club like Chelsea is OK waiting? Why not help out by getting, like @Pizy suggested above a couple of players to expedite the process?
It's very worrying that the one leader we've got is on a short deal and there is talks about him leaving.

It's also a bit wishful thinking to imagine that all players that have been unavailable last season will become available for the whole season, esp considering some of these players injury history.

I posted on him a month ago

he looks pretty solid and Boca Jrs players often do well in europe

he is one of top 2 teen Argie CBs atm

his release clause is susposedly £21m, which is steep

Tobias Palacio is the other top rated teen Argie CB

both of these 2 are worth a hard look

Rogers scored against us and is a right footed LWer, which we need

and Sousa has great size and pace, plus is a LB
