Frank Lampard splashed out over £230million last summer to turn his Chelsea squad into title contenders, but questions have since been raised with the newboys failing to make an impact this season.
Chelsea signed German players Kai Havertz and Timo Werner for £90m and £53m, and also snapped up Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech (£38m), English defender Ben Chilwell (£50m) and Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy (£22m). Meanwhile, veteran Brazilian defender Thiago Silva came in on a free transfer from PSG.
As a result, fans up and down the country believed the club was destined for success - leaving Chelsea supporters disappointed to see Lampard's men sit in eighth place.
