From the source

Under Clearlake Capital, Chelsea’s transfer business has come under real scrutiny, and rightly so. They have spent a lot and quite a few of their big-money signings have not worked out.

Mykhailo Mudryk, Jamie Gittens and Wesley Fofana are three names that instantly come to mind. Statistically, Fofana had a good game against Manchester United at the weekend.

But he still made two very bad mistakes that almost cost Chelsea. Simply put, the likes of Fofana, Gittens and Mudryk have been far from successful.
