See I think Chelsea may find getting top 4 is hard work. They have bought a lot of good players but they have basically tried doing 2 summers of transfers in 1 and I feel they have had too much turnover for them to gel. Especially with them mainly being foreign, most foreign players who need atleast 6 months to settle so you are certainly unlikely to see them all do so.

Watched the Spurs/Everton game last night, Everton midfield looks really really solid. The two sitting midfielders of Doucoure/Allan with James pulling strings further forward... Look a team to watch for me.

Is Chilwell really a massive upgrade on Alonso?
Will Havetz, Werner and Ziyech adapt to English football? I wouldn’t be surprised if 1 flop completely and1 takes a season to find their feet.
And then you have whoever their new keeper ends up being. Everyone though Kepa was going to be amazing but he wasn’t. And how many of the youngsters will hit that second season brick wall where they seem to go backwards?
And even if they are all successful how long is a team with a whole new spin going to take to gel?
Obviously they couldn’t but ideally you would have wanted these changes to have been spread over atleast two seasons not all these changes in a single seasonStop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -

Havertz and Werner will also be successes, I've no doubt about that. They haven't come from an inferior league and will struggle to make the step up, both are from a league very comparable to the PL. Come the end of the season (barring injury) both will have more than played their part.
Ziyech may the one that could be said to be an unknown quantity but at the same time Man Utd have made their only major signing from the same league and I don't hear many suggesting that he won't be up to it.
Thiago Silva might be 35 but his experience should be a huge asset, especially with the amount of youngsters Chelsea have in and around the first team. Again, i think thats a great signing, even if his minutes are managed and he's not playing week in week out.
As for Kepa, he's been about as reliable as David De Gea last year but I'd suggest both are capable of improving this term. -
