Garth Crooks has claimed Chelsea don’t look special despite spending £600million on new signings. Crooks also claims Potter also isn’t special.

Crooks told BBC: “If a club spends £600m on 17 players, then I expect that team to look a bit special. I would also expect that team to have some of the best players in the world with a manager of similar status.

“Currently Chelsea possess neither. In fact the Blues looked ordinary against West Ham. I will concede, particularly on this performance, Enzo Fernandez looks like a player that might really shine in the Premier League. However, I would like to ask Todd Boehly how could he spend all that money and not buy one genuine world-class striker?

“I assume the Chelsea owner knows what he’s doing. If not, he should get a very good technical director that does – and quickly. Brighton, Fulham and Brentford currently sit above them with a fraction of the money Chelsea have spent.”
