Fans ask 'serious questions' over who decided to sign Chelsea player in 'ongoing decline'

A fan website is now asking serious questions over who at their club decided it was a good idea to sign a Chelsea player in 'ongoing decline'.
The one thing Chelsea did manage to do in the summer was send some unwanted players out on loan at least. Imagine if we had some of these players still in the squad now? The current slump and two defeats in a row against Brighton would look even worse!

Chelsea's defeat against Brighton on Friday night has been named as the 'worst performance' under Enzo Maresca so far, and they are not wrong with that analysis at all.
There has been plenty of debate over who is to blame for how bad Chelsea are right now, with fingers being pointed at not just Maresca, but at the sporting directors who built this squad, as well as directly at the club owners. And the stats have backed up that all three have to share the blame right now.
Arsenal fans question signing of Sterling
Fan website Just Arsenal are not happy with the loan signing of Raheem Sterling.
They write:
'The last time Raheem Sterling had a productive season was in 2021/2022, when he scored 13 Premier League goals. Since then, his performances have been on the decline.
'This decline explains why Chelsea were content to send him on loan to Arsenal, having already deemed him surplus to requirements.
'He is struggling for game time, and when he does feature, his performances leave much to be desired. He often looks ineffective, failing to complete even the simplest of dribbles.
'Serious questions must be asked about the logic behind his signing.
'Sterling's decline was evident before he joined, and Arsenal's gamble on him now looks increasingly misguided. While the club may have hoped to rejuvenate his career, the reality is that his struggles at Chelsea were not a temporary dip in form but rather a sign of an ongoing decline.'
