Chelsea: 5 Reasons Why Blues Should Go For Jurgen Klopp Instead Of Mourinho

1. He Operates On A Shrewd Budget

Klopp When Jurgen Klopp signed a virtually unknown Robert Lewandowski from Lech Poznan in 2010 for the meagre sum of ‚4.5 million, many shrugged their shoulders and said €œwho cares?€ When Dortmund wanted to make Mats Hummel€™s move from rivals Bayern Munich permanent, they said, €œhe€™s yours!€ and Klopp bought him for ‚4 million. Today, the pair are worth £25 million each. Klopp has a fantastic eye for a bargain and in Hummels and Lewandowski Dortmund possess two of the best players in Europe in their respective positions. Having that sort of canny nous in the transfer market would be a, pardon the pun, priceless asset for Chelsea€™s next manager to possess. The days where they can spend £50 million on one player are coming to a close thanks to the new dawn of Uefa€™s Financial Fair Play era, and the Blues are going to have to start either relying on their youth academy and young players or spend more wisely in the transfer market €“ two things Klopp can do better than most, as I hope I have highlighted here.
