Chelsea, under new ownership, remains contentious in their approach to team building as they sit sixth in the Premier League. Despite a 12th place finish in their first season, they've stabilized with a sixth place last year. Currently, Chelsea is battling for a top-five finish to return to the Champions League after a three-year absence. Their shift towards acquiring young talent contrasts sharply with the previous immediate-impact philosophy of Roman Abramovich. Former player Frank Leboeuf expresses skepticism about this method, foreseeing challenges in achieving consistent results.
"I like the way that Chelsea sometimes play, but you can't expect too much from them, and it will be like that until the club decides to change their mind on the way they want to see football."
"With this trading situation, buying players and selling them, you cannot expect any results. One year it's going to be OK, but you're going to lose some players because your players have been good and you're going to sell them, so then you start from scratch, and that's what's going to happen."
