Here is the latest Blues transfer news as former star Glen Johnson has told Chelsea it was a ‘mistake’ to buy Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
Joao Pedro was Chelsea’s most expensive signing at £60m last summer, but a further £200m was spent on key additions Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho, Estevao Willian, Jorrel Hato and Liam Delap.
CHELSEA were widely praised for their deal for Garnacho, a 21-year-old Argentina international who was once one of the most highly-rated players at Old Trafford, and a player that the Red Devils fans seemed to love.
Garnacho is yet to show his full potential in west London, scoring just one goal in the Premier League and three more against inferior opposition in cup competitions, and according to ex-Chelsea defender Johnson, has been the form of Garnacho following his £40m move from Manchester United.
Johnson believes Garnacho is ‘talented’ and can ’cause havoc on his day’ but says it was a ‘mistake’ for CHELSEA to sign him given the attacking options they already had at the club.
‘I think Alejandro Garnacho has been disappointing since he signed for Chelsea,’ Johnson, who won the league title at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho, told Metro on behalf of WDW Bingo.
‘It was a mistake to sign him, and not because of his ability, as I think he is talented, but Chelsea have an abundance of great wingers.
‘He can cause havoc on his day, for sure, but one goal so far this season just isn’t enough for the money they spent on him.’
IcFootballnews Says…
It seems that when a player comes into the market, CHELSEA like to delve right in and try to get some transfer deals done, and that is what happened with Garnacho.
He is a talented player, but not really a star that can change games and win games like Cole Palmer can, he was not needed at the club that is for sure.
