Chelsea's 2023/24 campaign has been little more than an extension of the miserable rollercoaster that was the 2022/23 season.
The Blues have continued to combine enormous transfer spending with conceding four goals at homes to Wolves, making it abundantly clear that further changes to the squad are needed this summer if Chelsea are to salvage their rapidly crumbling reputation.
To make matters worse, the looming threat of a breach of the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules leaves Chelsea braced for a summer transfer window which could be equal parts exciting and devastating.
Here's a closer look at what Chelsea should do with every current member of the squad.
GK: Djordje Petrovic - Petrovic made the most of his fortunate introduction to the team and has definitely proved himself good enough for this level.
GK: Marcus Bettinelli — A third-choice goalkeeper who is both experienced and homegrown, Bettinelli has real value to this Chelsea squad even if he's not playing.
DEF: Levi Colwill - Colwill is the future of Chelsea's defence. Enough said.
DEF: Axel Disasi - Aside from a few underwhelming showings, Disasi has been a solid addition to this Chelsea squad. He doesn't need to be a permanent starter, but a third-choice role is perfect.
DEF: Benoit Badiashile - When Badiashile is fit and firing, he's a really excellent defender. Very easy to forget he's still only 22.
DEF: Wesley Fofana - In reality, Fofana probably needs a loan to help his recovery from yet another nasty injury. That's probably not happening though, so the Frenchman will get the chance to justify his price tag at Stamford Bridge next season.
DEF: Ben Chilwell — The vice-captain has his shortcomings but there's no way he should be cut loose at this point.
