Ex-Manchester United striker, Louis Saha has criticised Chelsea’s transfer policy under Todd Boehly, branding it ‘ridiculous’.

The Blues have spent more than £1b on signing new players in the last three transfer windows, with nothing to show for it, after recently slipping down to 12th on the Premier League table.

Saha told Paddy Power: “From the start of the season I never understood the strategy behind Chelsea’s signings – it was ridiculous.

“You could put any manager in there and I doubt that he will manage those young players well.

“The structure is really hard to find – it seems like they don’t know each other, especially when playing at Manchester United – there was quality, but no links between players.

“This is why they are struggling – they can impress and be frustrating, they are good players but there is no strategy behind it.

“Those are the basics of football – you can’t just expect signings to be the solution, you have to give the players the right time and get the proper education on how they will play and put the players in the best positions.

“At the moment, I don’t see any of it – there are some games they are playing very well, but the Premier League is tough.”
