Newcastle United do not need to look too far for the dangers of overspending in the transfer market. The turmoil at Chelsea under new owner Todd Boehly has been one of the stories of the season so far, with the Blues languishing in 11th in the Premier League following a dismal campaign to date.
Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter have both been dismissed this term, with Frank Lampard returning for a second spell in the dugout on an interim basis. Boehly has sanctioned a colossal spend in excess of £600 million across the first two transfer windows, but results have not followed on the pitch.
Revelations since Potter's departure have outlined the difficulties in accommodating such a large squad, with a number of players missing out on Chelsea's Champions League squad. Thiago Silva addressed these concerns on the back of their midweek quarter-final exit to Real Madrid, calling for a 'strategy' to avoid the 'same mistakes' next term.
