You're partially right in my opinion. Cash rules football but from very reputable sources it was very important for Havertz to be playing Champions League Football. Like I said thats my opinion.
In all of this I think that the Thiago Silva signing is extremely shrewd business. With the huge money Chelsea spent up front having a reliable CB that can bring some stability to the chaos that was Chelsea's back end is enormous. I'm not listening to any of the age complaints right now. He can still play.
Chelsea will be getting a new GK as well so once that is done they have certainly closed the gap on City and Liverpool. They will challenge for the league again very soon.
