Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has publicly criticized Chelsea’s transfer strategy, specifically questioning the decisions to sign Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens, describing the moves as “very strange”.
Speaking on his podcast, the former Manchester United striker expressed confusion over the club’s squad construction and recruitment policy.
Rooney emphasized that Chelsea needs to offload surplus players and add experience to help their young talent, rather than continuing to accumulate similar young profiles.

“I think Chelsea will have to sell some players because they’ve got a big squad and have made some very strange signings.
“Selling (Noni) Madueke to Arsenal and signing Gittens, I just didn’t get that, I didn’t understand it. I never got the signing of Garnacho, so there’s been some very strange signings.
“There’s players there they need to get rid of to get some more experience in and help the young players.
“I like the fact Alonso has been announced as manager and not head coach. They’ve got some very talented players so if they get the signings right in the summer I actually think they could be up there challenging for the title. The players will want to play for him because he’s got aura about him.”
