These Crystal Palace fans are saying the same thing about Chelsea after summer transfer business

The summer transfer window is over - and Crystal Palace fans have been left with mixed feelings about the Eagles' business.

Palace have signed five new players this summer and kept star man Wilfried Zaha, despite the Ivory Coast international making it clear that he wanted to leave the club amid interest from Arsenal and Everton.

However, Palace's failure to sign any players on transfer deadline day to increase their options at full-back or up front have left many supporters frustrated and concerned ahead of the new season, which starts at Selhurst Park on Saturday against Everton.

And some Palace fans have been making their feelings clear on social media this evening (Thursday) as they watched the club's Premier League rivals add to their squad, including Watford signing Eagles transfer target Ismaila Sarr.

In fact, some fans have even suggested that Chelsea have had a better transfer window than Palace, despite the Blues being unable to register any new players as a result of a transfer ban.

The Blues have signed Mateo Kovacic on a permanent deal, following his loan spell last season, while a number of players have left Chelsea, either on a permanent basis, or on loan.

First team regulars from last season, Eden Hazard and David Luiz, have both left the Blues, joining Real Madrid and Arsenal respectively.

But despite this, some Palace fans believe the Blues have still done better in terms of transfers.

Here's what some Palace and Chelsea fans have said about the Blues and the future of Wilfried Zaha.
