"Good luck with that" - Graeme Souness takes shots at Chelsea after Moisés Caicedo and Romeo Lavia snub Liverpool
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has taken shots at Chelsea and their co-owner Todd Boehly again. He believes that the Blues have inflated the market and have not managed to put together a strong squad despite spending way over €800 million in two years.
Chelsea have spent just over €400 million this summer, and that has seen them spend more than other top leagues in Europe. However, they have also sold the most this summer and have got over €250 million.
Writing in his Daily Mail column, Souness was quick to claim that Chelsea were making a huge mistake again and not heading in the right direction. He said:
He added:
Souness questioned Chelsea's midfield signings' goal contributions last season and their potential, saying:
Souness concluded:
Liverpool had outbid for both Lavia and Caicedo at one point but both players chose to join the Blues, who then increased their bids for the duo.
The Blues spent a Premier League record fee of around €135 million to sign Moises Caicedo this summer from Brighton & Hove Albion. They had to outbid Liverpool last week after the Reds made a late swoop.
Chelsea have also signed Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunkufor over €60 million each. Axel Disasi was added to the squad for €45 million from AS Monaco after Wesley Fofana was ruled out with an ACL injury.
Mauricio Pochettino has Nicolas Jackson to lead their attack after he arrived from Villarreal for €35 million. They also signed Robert Sanchez from Brighton for around €30 million as a backup to Kepa Arrizabalaga, before the Spaniard moved to Real Madrid on loan.
