With the opening of the transfer window coming to us very soon, we here at The Pride of London thought we could take a look back at some of Chelsea FC’s more dubious transfer decisions in recent years. Some of the choices (ahem, Torres) will come as little surprise to you but others will make you scratch you head and think, “really? They thought he was that bad?”.

Some of the choices may even make you sit back in disbelief and ask yourself whether the Blues had actually signed the player because he made such little impact on the pitch. So join us as we take a look back, through the eyes of our wonderful staff, at some of the poor decisions the Chelsea brass has made in the last five years and let us know if you think we missed anyone in the comments!
