‘The Board Are An Absolute Joke’ ‘We Ain’t Getting Top 4’ Chelsea Fans Vent Their Fury After Latest Transfer Update

Chelsea will not sign a new striker this month and have decided to keep Olivier Giroud, according to multiple reports in the English media.

While there is still some time for that to change before the transfer window closes tonight, it looks like the Blues have failed to find a forward for manager Frank Lampard. Needless to say, the news has not gone down on Twitter with supporters unhappy with the club’s board:

The irony is that Chelsea signed more players when they had a transfer ban in place in the summer (Mateo Kovacic) than during the winter transfer market when they have been free to make signings.

It may be the case that the London club have simply been unable to find the right target, but the board must have known that Lampard was unhappy with Giroud and they should have been seeking a new addition much sooner.

The inability to move quickly in the transfer market has been the source of much frustration from supporters and it does appear that it has cost them dearly this month.
