Despite the fact he is still waiting in the wings as he prepares to be appointed Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino is already laying out his vision for the club behind closed doors. What is evident is that a clearout of the bloated squad will be a priority after the uninhibited splashing of the cash in the past two transfer windows, but the Argentine will be planning some more targeted spending, too.
