Former England, Blackburn and Bolton manager Sam Allardyce has warned Graham Potter of the dangers of his club spending so much money. Chelsea broke a plethora of records in January with their outlandish and aggressive spending but it may prove to be a wise investment.
Todd Boehly and his supporting cast in the new ownership have rapidly rebuilt the squad and added a youthful vibe. His 18 signings have cost over £550million but have come in less than nine months. It has helped to add options to an otherwise ageing and underperforming group.
The methods used have come under major scrutiny across the footballing world, especially after the decision to make Enzo Fernandez the most expensive player in British history. The 22-year-old only moved to Benfica in the summer for £10million and played less than 30 matches before his value skyrocketed.
