Chelsea boss Graham Potter has stated that he won't "worry too much" about external opinions of the club's recent transfer activity after Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City's Pep Guardiola were asked for their judgement.
The Blues broke the British transfer record on January's deadline day, sending £106 million Benfica's way in exchange for 22-year-old World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez. This took the club's spending to £323 million in the January window alone, and around £600 million since Todd Boehly took ownership last spring.
As expected, the wider footballing world has had something to say about it. The managers of two of Chelsea's main title rivals in recent years were asked for their thoughts, each with different responses.
