Danny Mills, a TalkSPORT analyst, criticized Todd Boehly for delaying Chelsea’s hiring of a sports director.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Following Marina Granovskaia’s decision to leave her position, the American has taken over most of the club’s transfer discussions this summer.
The club has had a number of transactions slip through their fingers at the last minute, despite the fact that he was instrumental in arranging agreements for Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly.
According to Mills, Thomas Tuchel is frustrated because there isn’t a recognized sporting director, which some have claimed has led to the wasted opportunities.
He said: “I believe he’s simply trying to explain to the owners, look, they lost a few really excellent players because of what occurred last year, and they really haven’t replaced them yet. He only mentioned that we need to bring in a few more guys, and I want them to come in right now so I can start working with them.
“You need someone who understands how football operates and who is knowledgeable in their field. has the ability to call managers, scouts, and other football directors. I’m not convinced he has the connections with them yet to close those sincere agreements.
I thought it was really odd that after taking over the club, he didn’t immediately appoint a sporting director.
Mills faults Boehly’s choice.
Raphinha and Matthijs de Ligt are two targets who, despite initially being expected to transfer to Stamford Bridge, have already joined other teams.
Jules Kounde seemed destined to join the long list of wasted opportunities when it was claimed that Barcelona and the Frenchman had reached a personal agreement to bring Kounde to the Nou Camp.
Blues supporters will be hoping the owner supports Tuchel as much as possible for the remainder of this transfer window, since the German has expressed worry over the upcoming season.
Prior to the match against Everton, the club’s top priorities are defenders since Koulibaly is now insufficient to replace their already-departing players.
