Understanding Chelsea's transfer Policy!

Every Chelsea fan has once in a while asked this question to themselves lately: "What is Chelsea FC doing and why?" in a confusing, frustrating and disappointing manner. With news of Andre Schurrle joining Chelsea in the summer coming out of the press, it seems highly likely that the fans will be repeating this question to themselves again. With a barrage of players out on loan, and a young squad to carry on for seasons to come, why did Chelsea go out and buy another marquee (young) signing.

If there was one thing missing this season for Chelsea, it was quite clearly a head that can lead Chelsea through difficult situations. Situation that they faced when they went down to 9 men against Manchester United and had to hold on to a 2-2 draw, when they had to go to Italy and get a result, a comeback against Swansea, an influence against Manchester City. So, you would like to get that influential, experienced, calm head in to the side: Is Schurrle that man? Do you i actually need to write NO for you to guess;

Secondly, all season long the issue of who is going to play in the pivot and who are our best players in the pivot was the subject of debate among Chelsea fans who were not quite satisfied with any of the combinations Rafa or RDM prior to Rafa Benitez employed. A long passer and a tenacious clean tackler was required to play along side the more flamboyant and attack-minded Ramires or Oscar; so is Andre Schurrle going to be a pivot player? NO ;(

Strikers, Strikers, Strikers, every body who wears blue and watches Fernando Torres wishes to get a new striker in this. An out and out goal scorer who will not come in midfield to link it up, but will stay on the last defender's shoulder and wait for an opportunity to pounce on it;a typical goal poacher; wait, Is Schurrle that? Again no.

The area that required no immediate improvement was wings or winger-forwards; with Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Marin, Moses already in the side, and the likes of Piazon, KdB, younger Hazard in the youth ranks this position held the least importance in terms of investing for new players; but Andre Schurrle is exactly the same a player as the ones mentioned above, a bit of an upgrade on some, but when you have a squad of players you develop them rather than going out and buying a completely new player.

It is becoming more and more difficult to understand Chelsea's policies behind their transfer activities, loaning out 22 players in a season where they were involved in 7 different competitions, and then talking about player fitness and stuff like that; Chelsea's horrible transfer policies have destroyed young and experienced talents alike; and if that does not change the number of players ruined by a very greedy club will increase in the years to come.
