Grade Chelsea's transfer window! Are you pleased or disappointed?
Chelsea had a transfer window to remember. They made important strides early on, before stagnating and eventually panicking. It’s your turn to grade their moves!
It started well, then ended in a flurry. Chelsea’s 2016 summer transfer window activity had the best of both worlds. Quick out of the blocks, the club secured the signings of Michy Batshuayi and N’Golo Kante. Then it all sort of went downhill, culminating in the re-signing of a defender who can’t defend.

Now it’s over to you. For each incoming transfer, give it a grade and let’s see what the fan consensus on Chelsea’s transfer window is.
Michy Batshuayi
Let’s start with the first move the Blues made. Michy Batshuayi was signed with Euro 2016 fresh in the memory. He came over in a deal worth over £30 million, as Chelsea looked to strengthen their strike force.
The Belgian has already impressed, scoring three goals in four first-team appearances. However, is this a good deal in the long-run?
N’Golo Kante
The next player to arrive at Stamford Bridge was a huge one. After being the engine-room behind Leicester City’s remarkable Premier League triumph, N’Golo Kante left the club for the bright lights of West London.
He has since shown that his outstanding campaign was far from a fluke. At around £30 million, could this be the signing of the summer?
Eduardo
Poor Eduardo was subject to more frustration than joy when his signing was announced. With the Blues still lacking defensive reinforcements, fans were angry with the club’s apparent floundering.
However, with a wealth of experience, the Portuguese goalkeeper will provide excellent cover for Thibaut Courtois and Asmir Begovic this season.
Marcos Alonso
The first of two Transfer Deadline Day deals for the Blues saw Marcos Alonso join from Fiorentina. A former Sunderland and Bolton full-back, many will admit that he was not high on the initial list of targets.
Nonetheless, he is a solid player who has built a decent reputation in the Serie A.
David Luiz
The big one. The bizarre one. And the not so popular one as well. David Luiz is back at Stamford Bridge after a dramatic deadline day move. The Brazilian was keen to return and reportedly helped force the move through at his end.
Chelsea desperately needed a defender, but can Luiz defend?
Overall, was the transfer window a success or a failure for Chelsea? Let us know in the comments below!
