It wasn’t a long time ago when Chelsea fans were absolutely elated with their Premier League glory. After an atrocious 2015-16 season, they were back on top of the Premier League after toppling Spurs for the title.

With Champions League football and the prestige of being the champions of England, a summer of excitement awaited the Blues fans – or so they thought. But as it turned out, Chelsea have had to endure a very frustrating window where the failed to acquire their first-choice targets and had to stay content with players who you probably had to Google to find out about their playing position

The fans were livid, obviously, and their Tweets are a perfect depiction of how the Deadline Day summed up their transfer window after they failed to get deals done for Ross Barkley and Riyad Mahrez while signing a rather obscure right-back from Torino whose name is an amalgam of Zapata and Costa.
