The former full-back believes those in west London have benefitted from a transfer embargo, with solid foundations having been put down for the future
Chelsea’s transfer ban has been a “blessing in disguise”, says Glen Johnson, with the Blues “building bridges” that will see them in “a very good spot” once they are able to add again.
The former Blues defender told Betdaq: “If Chelsea can keep going as they are, they could easily break into the top four.
“I’ve always said if Frank Lampard could get them into the top six he’s done a fantastic job and with the way United and Spurs are going, he could do even better than that.
“Everything he’s doing this season is building bridges for the next couple of years, especially as they haven’t been able to add to their squad.
“If he can keep improving his players, this Chelsea side will be in a very good spot once the new faces are able to be brought in.
“The whole transfer ban could turn out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise as it’s forced the club to bring the likes of Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham through and, providing they keep going as they are, they look to have some potential stars on their hands.
“I’ve been really impressed with Abraham. I really didn’t think he could translate his form from the Championship to the Premier League, but he’s shown he’s more than up to it.
“There is such a huge difference between the two leagues, so to do what he’s done so soon into his Premier League career is very impressive.”

Personally, I like what I'm seeing with the young team, so I'll be glad if the ban is extended. Chelsea don't give opportunities to young players, this ban has exposed the fact that Chelsea has a good academy with World class prospect.

I dont think we need anyone. we have so many young talented players, with so much potential. I love every player right now and love the personality they bring to the game. we just need to give them all more experience.
Actually let's just say one, Meunier. He's a perfect fullback with excellent attack and defensive prowess

Even with the ban, Chelsea is a class team. The only difference this year is Hazard and his contributions which have been replaced by even more contributions as we have scored the same or more at this point than we did at this point last year. Defence has been a problem ever since Terry left and there lies the hurdle. We need someone to take charge and the man that can take charge is injured right now, Antonio Rudiger. Till the back line of Emerson, Rudiger, Tomori and James plays together, dont judge Chelsea cos we will still have problems.....

I share Glen Johnson's opinion... it's just a question of time before this team becomes a force to reckon with.
