Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has come under criticism from all corners for the plan he is looking to carry out at Stamford Bridge.
Blues fans protested Boehly and co outside of the stadium ahead of the recent Premier League game against Southampton, although some were questioning whether the reasoning behind their concerns was wide of the mark.
A common theme that cropped up was a desire to hang back on the process of signing the top young players in world football, and instead look to bring in individuals who will instantly strengthen the first team squad.
A lot of criticism has been thrown at the most recent summer transfer window, where additions such as Joao Felix, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jadon Sancho may not even be at the club when the next Premier League season gets underway.
Some have worked out to be more successful though, and Chelsea can certainly already boast an exciting future with the caliber of player who are already playing regularly for them.
