Danny Murphy claims Chelsea have had their 'pants pulled down' after paying over the odds for players in the January transfer market.
Chelsea splashed the cash throughout the winter window, with Mykhailo Mudryk for £88million and Benoit Badiashile for £35m just among the few big name arrivals at Stamford Bridge.
But it was the Blues' deadline day signing of Enzo Fernandez which saw Chelsea smash the British transfer record and pay Benfica £107m for the Argentinian, taking their spending to over £300m last month alone.
And Sportsmail columnist Murphy feels Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is being taken advantage of by clubs and that the majority of Graham Potter's first XI would struggle to get into Manchester City's side under Pep Guardiola.
