What about the players they sold, Chelsea has a net spend of 20 mil over the last 2 seasons while the Manchester clubs are in the 300s. Maybe you are the one who needs some shut eye.

Chelsea doesn't sell starting players.
They sell deadwood like Cuadrado and buy improvements like Zappacosta.
Well except cases when Conte has a beef with his second most crucial player and management is forced to buy a replacement.
And tbf CFC roster was better than both MU and MC, so net spending doesn't show the whole picture.

Yep, strange sell indeed.
But it's not what bothers me. I hate when coaches throw own players/management/etc. under the bus, no matter how passive-aggressive they do it, or whine about shirts colour/calendar. Someone calls it a distraction tactic, pressure easing, in my book it's just being a bitch.
And it really hurts to see Antonio going that way, because he was THE captain and also was a big part of clubs ressurection.

The Matic excuses are getting a bit boring though. Dont know the details, maybe he wasnt playing enough?
Cant say like he has been huge influence for Man Utd. I mean they are 15 points behind Man City. And only 1 point ahead of Chelsea.
Collectively all of Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham have been disappointing. The gap between Man City and the rest shouldnt be that big. Of course some of these clubs dont have winning mentality in them. Pool, Arsenal, Tottenham are basically just jogging on. And yes you can always say that they have less spending power than the Manchester clubs but none of these 3 managed to make the most of the year when both Manchester Clubs were really hot and cold. Instead Leicester comes and wins it all.
Mourinho has failed to deliver at Utd despite them spending significant amount and NOT selling big names. Although i would never take Lukaku as your main man. Aguero and well managed Costa are much better strikers. Lukaku goes missing in big games.

What starting players did they sell other than Costa (who was forced out of the club by Conte) and Matic?
Also answer my question. Do you seriously think Chelsea’s sporting director would have even known about players like Marcos Alonso, Antonio Rudiger or Davide Zappacosta? You don’t think they were Conte’s choice? It seems for the most part they signed players he expressly asked for.
