Chelsea fans fuming as they’re convinced Todd Boehly let a ‘superstar’ leave the club

Chelsea are calling out for an injection of talent right now, and supporters have been watching on as one of their former players continues to star away from Stamford Bridge.

Selling players has been a key element of Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali’s reign at Chelsea. Only Reece James remains at the club from the side who won the Champions League just four years ago.

Player trading has been a source of disagreement between the two owners, who are reportedly still not on amazing terms at the helm of the club.

Before hiring a sporting director, Boehly oversaw the role for his first few months at the club, and in this time decided to authorise the sale of Christian Pulisic to AC Milan.

Chelsea fans fume as ‘superstar’ Christian Pulisic stars again

His AC Milan side beat Antonio Conte 2-1 in a huge Serie A clash on Sunday, with Pulisic finding the net in emphatic fashion.

Chelsea fans took to social media to share their discontent that he had been sold, with him even being branded a ‘superstar’.

One user said: “Pulisic goal, he’s on a different level this season. Chelsea sold him for ‘Mudryk’. I won’t stop reminding Chelsea fans, they need to learn. This is sharpest I’ve seen Pulisic, he literally feels like a superstar.”

Another added: “If Pulisic was still at Chelsea he’d be the best winger at the club.”

A third stated: “Milan bought him from hels for 20million? He’s worth triple that, if not more with his current form. Chelsea, why did we let him go.”

Finally, one user said: “The only Chelsea player that I felt we treated unfairly when he was here and thought maybe we should have kept, miles better than anyone we have bought in place of him since.”

Pulisic’s tough time at Chelsea

The United States international endured an injury-hit spell while he was in West London, and other than a few months following the pandemic he struggled to make himself a regular in the side.

Pulisic admitted he felt immense pressure when he was at Chelsea, and the depth they had in wide attacking areas saw him often miss out on a starting spot.

He is now starting to fulfill his potential at the San Siro, and will be looking to enjoy a successful campaign in Serie A without European football to contend with this season.
