Chelsea Off Season Improvements

By no means did Chelsea have a terrible season this year. Yes, they didn't win any titles, and finished off the Barclays Premier League Season on a pretty bad note after putting themselves out of the driver seat after tying Sunderland at home. They finished quite poorly in the FA Cup after suffering a bad lose to Manchester City in the quarterfinals. They also couldn't quite reach the top in the UEFA Champions League after falling short in the semi finals to Athletico Madrid. But even with all that hasn't gone well this year for Chelsea, they still have much to look forward to for next year, as long as a few things happen.

For starters the Blues can't afford to lose any of their young talent. They have so much youth at Chelsea, and the young players are the ones who really shined for the team this year. Players like Eden Hazard, Oscar, Andre Schurrle, Lukaku (who was out on loan at Everton), Courtois (who was loaned out at Athletico Madrid), Azpilicueta, and Mohamad Salah cannot be let go by any means necessary. They must stay at the club if they wish to be successful. The second thing they need to do is get Courtois back from his loan with Athletico Madrid. He is only 22 years old, and already probably one of the top three keepers in the world. Cech is still very good, but he's also getting old, and Courtois would step in perfectly. The final thing that Chelsea need to do is go out this summer and buy a world class striker. If I had to pick one thing that really hurt the Blues in their quest for trophies this year, it would be their lack of a top notch striker to compliment the midfield that they possess. That being said, there are already a lot of heavy speculations and rumors surrounding the player that Chelsea will be pursuing. That player is the Athletico Madrid striker Diego Costa. He has been heavily linked with Chelsea, and there seems to be a good chance that he will end up at the club next season. If this happens that spells great news for Chelsea, and bad news for the rest of the BPL. Costa has had a world class year in the La Liga, scoring more goals than anyone but Messi and Ronaldo. If he can come to Chelsea and continue that form, it would make amazing things happen.

I would love to see this transfer happen for Chelsea, because that would make for an extremely deadly team at Chelsea, as well as a for sure title for Chelsea next year in the league, and hopefully a deeper cup run and Champions League run.
