Signing well enough to finish above Chelsea is a massive long shot.

We need to be signing enough good players this summer to be finishing above two of Arsenal, Spurs, Everton and West Ham next season. It is realistic and it can be done considering we haven't been far off three of them for most of this season and West Ham will drop if they end up in europa league so not concerned about them long term.

Because Chelsea's spending last summer was such a resounding success.

Given the results, it was, wasn't it?

Werner, Havertz and Ziyech haven't exactly set the Premier League on fire. Werner's missed some sitters.

Thiago Silva and the keeper have done pretty well.

Werner has missed some sitters but he’s scored 10+ and assisted 10+ that’s a pretty good debut season. Havertz is a serious talent, as shown in the Champs League semi, who has dealt with long COVID. Ziyech is also a very talented player.

And all in their first PL season. We know it takes time to adjust

I just pitched a tent

According to The Sun, Chelski are going to give Tuchel a 150m 'warchest' this Summer. I guess we'd need to be spending something similar to make a concerted push for top 6.

Ah, not simply money to spend, but a "war chest".
How can they keep doing this?  FFP hasn't completely dissapeared has it?

Isn't it relaxed somewhat for the pandemic but I was hoping someone could explain this in detail and whether we could similarly 'go for it'.

Quite, fourth in the league ain’t too bad considering. They’ve improved as the season has unfolded and look very good on their day now.

4th isn’t any better than last season so in that regard they might consider it a failure relative to the expenditure. But I would also say that if Tuchel had been there from the start he would have used all those players better and they might have challenged Man City for the title. He’s done a remarkable job since he started.

Or where they would be if Frank was still in charge.

It does rather ignore the FA Cup final and Champions League final though.

Which aren't exactly nothing.

It was a comment on the league position which the investment was in large part meant to improve. They wanted to compete for the title. And as stated much of the improvement including qualification to those finals came once Tuchel arrived. Not minimizing that. So the net net is that it is a better year overall but it required a managerial change to achieve it.

They had the transfer ban so saved a bit from then and also sold Hazard for 90m which is looking one of the deals of the century.

I’d love us to go and take Saint Maximin from Newcastle...absolutely cracking player and would give us a level of power and pace on the flanks that we don’t have
