When asked which areas of Chelsea's squad needed work in the transfer market this month Graham Potter played with a straight bat. His response was typically measured and gave little away, he was hardly going to throw certain players and positions under the microscope.
His answer did have a bit more to it than normal though, instead of stating that he's happy with his team and that there's strengths to every position he instead answered: “It’s a good question but the problem is if I answer it and I'm specific in that answer, every single player in that area will be linked with Chelsea."
Ultimately that happens already, players are linked and names are thrown about but Potter's insistence on not answering wasn't, he said, down to the quality of his squad rather than the noise his answer would create. In essence, he didn't exactly defend his squad or make out that it wasn't in need of change.
