Busy month for our Blues. 👊🔵

Chelsea spent around £328m this window as they looked for proven Premier League quality along with squad depth and balance.

They generated around £519m in player sales and loan fees, which is believed to be a record.

In selling Enzo Fernandez for £125m, Chelsea became the first club to make a profit on a £100m player.

Missing out on Lamine Camara was an unexpected and dramatic end to the window, but a saga caused by Monaco.

10 first-team players arrived this summer, while Reece James is expected to play a leading role in midfield this season.🔵

Where will the Blues finish under Xabi Alonso this season? 🤔

🚨 Emmanuel Emegha was viewed internally as a possible replacement for Nicolas Jackson with greater long-term upside, though his role in Xabi Alonso’s squad remained uncertain until August when it became clear that Jackson and Delap would be sold.

🚨 A GK was never considered a priority position to upgrade.

Robert Sanchez’s error-strewn performance against Fulham shifted the conversation. Despite the high regard in which he was held, there was recognition that his form had dipped badly in each of his three previous seasons at the club.
