Why only Chelsea, taking an expensive striker, nothing happens?

Vlahovic 1 game - 1 goal and good perform . I can bet he will score a lot .

If he was in Chelsea he would be struggling for sure like  lukaku .

Why 

 

I agree he will score a tonne (same league, better team)

but there is no way to say he would not score here, and score more than Lukaku

I see no reason why he would not succeed here (maybe not the same number of goals as in Serie a, but still a shedload IMHO)

we have had CF's score a good amount here in the past
 

2016/17     Diego Costa    22
2014/15     Diego Costa    20
2012/13     Fernando Torres     22
2009/10     Didier Drogba     37
2006/07     Didier Drogba   33
2008/09     Nicolas Anelka     25
2001/02     Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink     29
2000/01     Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink    26

Olivier Giroud scored a lot given the lighter amount of minutes he played (39 goals in only around 5700 minutes for us)

Plus in his time here: 

FA Cup: 2017–18; runner-up: 2019–20, 2020–21 (robbed in both games by PGMOL, especially v Arsenal)
UEFA Champions League: 2020–21
UEFA Europa League: 2018–19 (destroyed Arsenal 4-1, and he scored)
EFL Cup runner-up: 2018–19 (the Kepa 'no go' game v Citeh)
FIFA World Cup: 2018

and in the 2017 FA Community Shield (the Pedro red card late that allowed them to draw even) he scored the winning shootout pen for Arse versus us (still have NO CLUE why Cuntois took a pen, which he missed, of course)

 (Chelsea part post January transfer)

Have seen reports of such kind. It seems like Mourinho is already losing the plot. The downturn that comes with him is happening earlier and earlier these days. Doesn't even guarantee trophies anymore.

yep, we really cocked it up

shit away £180m on Donkeykaku

[Fulham Broadway 16,423]

Tammy Abraham came to  Mourinho's aid once again as the Englishman scored the only goal in Roma's crucial 1-0 victory over Atalanta. 

The win puts Roma level on points with Atalanta, who remain once place above them in Serie A in fifth place, and keeps Mourinho in the fight for European football next season. 

Hope we get to play them

wow this opening ceremony (tribute to the victims of Russia of Ukraine)

[Vesper 27,378]

wow, Lautaro kicked Locatelli right in the face

[Vesper 27,378]

Bastoni consistently being beaten for pace by Cuadrado, Dybala, Vlahovic, and Morata

worrisome trend that has been happening all season

his positioning is nothing near Thiago level, so he might be roasted in the EPL pressure cooker

Barella has really went off the boil the last 2 months as well

[Vesper 27,378]

Skriniar on the other hand, is a beast

so is de Ligt

[Vesper 27,378]

wow, dodgy pen called but Inter missed the pen

[Vesper 27,378]

retake

Inter scored on the rebound, ref called foul, but VAR said de Ligt impeded
